[QUOTE=racer72] There are 157 of me and I have met 2 of them. [/QUOTE] Really? That’s awesome. I haven’t met me, but I’ve spoken to my wife Kathy on the phone a couple of times. I’ve gotten tons of business and telemarketing calls for her. ---

It says I don’t exist if I use my Korean first name. With my English first name I get 538. I’ve met a few Korean Americans with the same first name as I do, so I know that’s not right. ---

The website says there are 0 of me, but I know for a fact that there are exactly 2. ---

There are none of my last name - and so none of me. Boo! ---

Using my married name, 630. Using my maiden name, 0. Then again, it says no one has that last name. Well, no one but my mom, my brother, and my sister, and I know there are others out there, including a (former?) professor at Purdue. So, yeah, not too accurate. ---

104 of me, 1.4 million with my first name and 21,000 with my last name. I find their results somewhat suspect, but fun nonetheless. ---

[QUOTE=Hockey Monkey] There are 2 of me, and only 911 with my last name. [/QUOTE] Is your last name “Giuliani”? There are only 20 of me, despite the fact that my first name is the 2nd most common in the US, with nearly 5 million people having it (John, FTR). Only 1821 have my last name. Did you know 99.63% of people named “john” are male? Anyone ever meet a female named John??? ---

There are 82 of me in the US and 3 of me in the UK. We’re starting the invasion pretty low-key for now but once we get rooted… The UK site says I am “as rare as a wombats wingnut.” Haha. I just did my brother’s name in the UK site and it said. “You are unique. You are one with the angry Squirrel. Shout ‘I am the unique. I am unified with the badger overlord.’ People will run away. That’s because they’re jealous. JEALOUS…” ---

> [@](#): > > There are 0 people in the U.S. named (Danalan).While both names you entered were found in our database, neither was common enough to make it likely that someone in the U.S. has that name. Huh. I guess, me, my father, my son, my cousin, that kid from Minnesota, his dad, and the guy in Denver are all non-existent. This site is not a good implementation of the knowledge-gathering capabilities of the Internet. It doesn’t actually do what it claims, it merely enumerates the names entered, separately. Mildly interesting, but not useful. ---

There are 291 of me in the States and 47 of me in the UK. I can confirm that there is at least one of me in Canada. 😉 ---

It says there are **12** of me. That can’t be right. When I look myself up in the phone books of major cities (what? You don’t?) I’m usually there.

There are zero with my name. Shouldn’t there be at least one? Does this mean I don’t exist? :eek: ---

There are none of me, so I don’t exist and neither does my cousin. Oh, and 99.63 percent of people with my first name are male. Which begs the question, where are the female Johns? ---

There are 104 of me in the US but only 6 in the UK. According to the latter site: “You are as rare as a wombat’s wingnut”. :dubious: Also, I have the 1425th most popular first name in the US but the 4th most common last name. Perhaps this explains why I keep getting threatening letters regarding nonpayment of credit cards I do not have.
