    Statistically the 526th most popular first name.
    More than 99.9 percent of people with the first name [redacted] are male.

    There are 47,830 people in the U.S. with the last name [redacted].

    Fewer than 1600 with just my first name, 57000 with my last name, 1 or fewer with both.

    Over 100,00 of my surname, but funnily enough I left the first name blank and it seems there are 1600 people in the US with absolutely no first name! :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,537 ✭✭✭KKkitty


    I'd say mine is zero. My surname is weird on its own.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,373 ✭✭✭The guy


    1 or fewer people have my name.

    One or less of me! I'd imagine none in reality of my name.

    Less than 1600 for my first name (which looks like it could be as low as none?)
    32000 for my surname


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,821 ✭✭✭fussyonion


    99 people have my name.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,731 ✭✭✭jam_mac_jam


    1 or fewer, that's because of my first name, my surname is ridiculously common


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,176 ✭✭✭✭sammyjo90


    470


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,977 ✭✭✭PandaPoo


    260,000+ with my first name.

    30 with my full name.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,429 ✭✭✭testicle


    1.5 million with my first name, fewer than 119 with my surname. One or fewer with both.

    7 of me.

    That site is completely unworkable on a phone in the pub whilst drunk.

    I do know that a famous stock racer in the states has the honour of sharing my name


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 7,439 Mod ✭✭✭✭XxMCRxBabyxX


    Checked my whole family there. My dad's name is the only one that got a proper result (442).

    The rest of us all have 1 or fewer for full name and less than 1600 for first. An unusual family it seems!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,601 ✭✭✭cerastes


    1, find it hard to believe

    I was in specsavers before when the optician called out my full name and two of us got up at the same time. What are the chances of meeting another person with the same name as yours. With the same appointment time too.
