How many of you are there?

You may be correct. I put in my best friend’s name (it says his first name is the 4019th most popular first name) and it says there’s only 1 of him. That’s wrong - there are at least 2: him and his dad.

I put in my aunt’s name, and it said there were only 2. I know both of them; the other one is her daughter/my cousin.

While I question the validity of the numbers on the site, I still want to win this thread:

First name: 866,752
Last name: 664,864
Both names: 1898

What do I get?

It claims that there are only four people with the combination of my first name (which is fairly common) and my last name (which, while not extremely rare, is still not one usually encountered in this country).

While flaws have been pointed earlier, this seems about right: Online searching, at any rate, doesn’t suggest a large number of users of my name.

I’m one of 104 copies/clones.

Apparently, one of my earlier model clones helped invent the Internet. Other copies are a doctor (cosmetic dermatologist), a sucessful author, and a bonsai-ist-guy-dude.

I’m just #104. My father is #103. I carry the ‘Jr.’ model nomenclature.

Zero. That’s kinda weird.

I’m unique. :slight_smile:

Indeed you are!

There’s only one of me…

…that’s probably what the other 5,826 of us say.

According to the OP, there are two of us, and one is a wonderful outspoken barmaid in Montana. Seen her before in a vanity search. Someday, I’se a goin to Montany to meet my Doppelganger sister. She sounds swell.

There’s only one of me in the US, and it’s not me. (since, of course, I’m in Canada)

Crud. Somebody want to report this post to a mod for appropriate action?

Hmmm. I’m beginning to think the site is less than 100% accurate.

Only one of me. and my first name is only 4 letters long.

Heh, no. My generation was born here. My dad, his brothers and sister, and his parents are all naturalized citizens, as are the numerous other members of my extended family who live in the States.

In the Bay Area, at least, anyone with my last name is most likely related to me. In the rest of the country, some are, some aren’t.

hmm. both my father’s last name and my mother’s last name are pretty uncommon in the U.S. Dad’s first-name/last-name got 3 hits, and mum’s first-name/last-name got 0 hits.

That doesn’t surprise me, actually - I’ve always found both names to be rare, and anyone that I’ve met with one of them, we can usually trace a connection.

And it’s not an Ellis Island screw-up - both have Scottish names that aren’t very common even in Scotland, as far as we can tell.

As for me, 0 hits for first-name/last-name - but then, I’m in Canada.

And Mrs. Piper’s last name doesn’t show up at all, either. She comes from a big family, but all descended from one couple who moved here from Hungary. Maybe none went to the U.S., or the name got mangled at Ellis Island, or Halifax, or both.

I see there are only 2 George Steinbrenners (and only 425 Steinbrenners altogether).

Hmmm…I wonder what that site is collecting names for? :dubious:

I’m certain there are more John Smiths than that, right here in Tennessee. :dubious: :dubious:

Moderators: does that site have Malware/Spyware? :dubious: :dubious: :dubious:

It says there are 3 of me. If so, we’re all 3 on Myspace, which would be kind of weird.

It says there are 0 of my sister. Not true because she exists.

It says there are 0 of the brother. Not true because he exists.

Yeah, we all got weird names :).

3,596,113 with my first name, 1,885,341 with the last, and 22,332 with my last name. My parents were uncreative. :frowning:
