Only 98 people with my first and last name, but… 3,961,085 people with my first name. Sheesh! ---

2! That was my guess though. I can google me and find both of us. ---

In the US? 2 In India, who knows. Though my parents gave me a really obscure and old-fashioned first-name (like if someone in 2006 named their kid Edna or Mildred or Gertrude). I went out with her cousin on a date once. Turns out she keeps tabs on me, too (I guess we both thought the other was an identity thief). She has a different middle name (in my ethnicity we take our father’s names as our middle names). ---

There are 323,966 people with my first name, and 12,779 people with my last name, but only 14 people with my full name. Weird, since I live in the same town as one of them, and we’re not related! ---

I am shocked: There are 19 people in the U.S. with my name. I would have guessed less. ---

It says there are 2 people with my name (my first name is quite common, my last name very uncommon.) However, I know that there are at least three people. Myself, my brother-in-law’s wife and another woman I turned up when doing a Google search of my name. If there are indeed only 3, I believe I am the one who hasn’t been counted, as I only married and changed my name 3 years ago, after the last census. ---

7526 people with the same name. Not surprising - it’s common enough that I work with another person with the same name. ---

I don’t exist either. Which is odd, since google has introduced me to at least three of me. Maybe I’m schizophrenic. ---

There are 109484 people with my first name. There are 20998 people with my last name. Of course, people in the USA with both is only 8. I feel unique. Brendon ---

I’m not as common as I thought I was. There are only 24 of me (using the short version of my name). Using the extended version of my name, there are 235 of me, which is still much lower than I expected. At this ratio, I’m literally one in a million (slightly less, actually). ---

Zero for my first and last name together. Zero for my first name. 1440 for my last name. Wow, two people with my brother’s name! One for my father. Perhaps it means him. One for mom too. ---

Also, I checked my gf’s… There are 8999 with her first name. 23997 with her last name. and 1 with the combination. She’s specialer than I am. Brendon ---

I think I can rest assured that no one in the universe has my full four names in order. Maybe in the history of ever? At least three are from different heritages. ---

That is to say: 14,998 with my first name; 1,862,805 with my last name; 93 with both. When I get married in January, that will change: 17,998 with my new last name; … **1** with both. I wonder what she’s like. 🙂 ---

440 with my married name and 135 with my maiden name. Hmm, 69.86% of people with my first name are female. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-many-of-you-are-there/377251.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-many-of-you-are-there/377251.md?page=4)
