The original sentence misused 'the IT' and had incorrect word order. Replace 'the IT symbolize' with 'it symbolizes' to use the correct pronoun and third-person singular verb form. Also simplify the clause by joining with 'and'. Suggestion: use 'it' for the name and conjugate the verb to 'symbolizes'.
× I would choose names as they would they should have some special meaning to it and I will also keep in mind that they should be trendy as well.
✓ I would choose names that have some special meaning and I will also keep in mind that they should be trendy.
The original has redundant modal/modal-like phrases ('would they should') and an incorrect prepositional phrase 'meaning to it'. Use a relative clause 'names that have some special meaning' and remove redundancy. Keep future intent with 'I will'. Suggestion: avoid stacking modals and use clear relative clauses.
× No, there is no one in my family that has the same name as me because when my parents gave me my name, they thought that I would have a special identity which is very unique.
✓ No, there is no one in my family who has the same name as me because when my parents gave me my name, they thought I would have a special and unique identity.
Use 'who' for people instead of 'that'. 'Which is very unique' is awkward and redundant; combine adjectives 'special and unique'. Also remove unnecessary 'that' after 'thought'. Suggestion: use 'who' for people and avoid redundant modifiers.

Suggestion: use correct past form 'named', clearer phrasing like 'according to generational names', and proper passive/active construction.

'Differently popular' is incorrect—use 'more popular than others'. 'For example's name' is ungrammatical; use 'For example, names'. Ensure subject-verb agreement: 'names ... have been common' (corrected). Also clarify character separation with commas. Suggestion: use comparative phrases 'more popular than others', correct example phrasing, and ensure plural agreement with verbs.
