1. A Google search seems to indicate that most of them are seminarians. :eek: The others are me and my uncle. ---

2 with my married name (I’d be willing to guess that both are actually me). 0 with my maiden name. There are over a million with my first name and over 600 with my married name and 0 with my maiden name. I know there are more than 0 with my maiden name and I would suggest to you that this site lacks accuracy! ---

There are 5,999 people in the US with my first name. There are 7,139 people in the US with my last name. There is no one in the US who has both my first and my last name. That last statistic strikes me as somewhat unlikely. ---

Using “Jenny” as my first name, 0. Using “Jennifer” as my first name, 6. “There are 1,200 people in the U.S. with [my last name]”; it’s the 23,273rd most popular last name. [QUOTE=Surok] I have several relatives in the U.S. [/QUOTE] Relatives that share both your first _and_ last names? [QUOTE=CalMeacham] And I **know** there’s a me in Canada, because I keep mfinding him when I do vanity searches. [/QUOTE] Yeah, there’s a me in the UK, too – she’s the first page or so of results when you Google me (using “Jenny” as the first name). 🙂 ---

14 me(s).\* Though my mother and brother don’t seem to exist at all. \*If they had this thing for Ireland I’d find lots of me(s), including one who, by all acccounts, has a lovely voice. 🙂 ---

About 150 people with my name, but I’m not one of them. I know there are about two dozen people with my name in Canada. One is a drunk who managed to get my licence revoked, another likes to wear bandannas and hold rifles at First Nations conflicts, and a third dipped into my very first savings account. ---

There are 82,491 people with my last name, and 3,017,684 people with my last name. Not a one of them is related to me. Only 837 of us have the same first and last names. ---

Zero. Apparently I’m not really here. 90,000 of my first name, and none of my last name. There are none of me in Britain either, but I can’t get that page ([www.yournotme.com](http://www.yournotme.com)) to come up anymore. ---

Using my actual first name: 125 Using the nickname I go by: 2 According to the database, **Long Time First Time** does not exist, and neither do at least eight of her relatives, as her last name is “not common enough” to merit inclusion. At least her first name is relatively popular… ---

There is a gang of me out there, since I have a pretty common first name (33rd most common, I know now!) and an even more common last name (3rd most common!) but this is the part that really made me think: More than 99.9 percent of people with the first name Lisa are female. :dubious: I really, really, have a burning desire to meet the one dude named Lisa that’s throwing the percentage to hell. ---

There are 223 of me; surprising, as I thought there would be more. Both my first and last name are quite common. Mr. S has unusual first and last names, and there are 0 of him. Here I was ready to declare him one of a kind! (We know of only one other him, some guy who’s buried in Texas.) ---
