    www.yournotme.com shows how many people in the UK you share your name with.
    I am the one and only for my full name.However there are just over 4100 people for my surname and 14461 Shanes in the UK.I would have thought it was more-I know at least half a dozen others of my first moniker.
    As for the rich and infamous there are
    58 called George Bush
    3 called Albert(Bertie)Ahern
    No one called Saddam Hussein but there are 9 people called Saddam as a first name
    4974 unlucky enough to have the surname Gay and 188 people with the surname Fluck,I kid you not:D
    One Hitler

    Just in case you wondering it is taken of the UK electoral rewgister,meaning under 18s and foreigners(probably including irish if you are wondering why a name that is all the rage in Ballyculchieville is not popular in the UK)

    I think the website might only take into account people who visit the website, that's probably why the numbers are so low.
    Website script crashes when I type in Kevin O'Riordan btw, have to type in Kevin ORiordan which gives me 12 matches.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78,574 ✭✭✭✭Victor


    "There are 5 People with the name **** *****. You are rarer than a wombats wing nut." Hmmm have only found 4 of us.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,945 ✭✭✭D-Generate


    Victor, your parents spent a lot of time looking for a first name for you :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,281 ✭✭✭DeadBankClerk


    The data is from the 2000 electoral role, people 17 years old may

    be on it, 18 year olds should be on it.



    If you're called Tony Blair, you should search for Anthony, not Tony.

    Likewise Dave Gorman wont find anything where as David Gorman Will.

    Use common sense.



    Your kids are not on it, Unless they are voting in this country.

    If your not on it at all, don’t cry, your either too young or you were

    not on the ER we used for the names or there was a keying error somewhere.

    Try a fuzzy search and you may find your name.

    No data other than Forename’s and Surname’s are on this site.



    We will soon be allowing you to add yourself to the database so you can

    all prove your existence.
    We will also be letting you put some information next to your

    name so you can contact each other and build that private army

    of namesakes you all seem so keen on.



    Cheers



    Dave and Glenn
