Is Milson a common name in the FOD? (General)

I noticed the last posting mentions someone with Milson as a forename/first name. I have noticed that several people have Milson as a first name within the families I have researched for my own family history, not always found to be related to me, I might add. This is a name I have never come across before and wonder why so many Forest of Dean people seem to have it. I know it is a surname too but it's very uncommon.E.g. was there some influential person in the community called Milson who they were named after? None seem to have a direct link with the Milson surname as far as I can see.
Can anyone explain why people have this name in this area?
Thanks.
