I did my wife too.
Fewer than 1,525 with her first name.
Fewer than 335 with her last name.
1 or fewer people with her whole name.

Heh.... there were 34 of me before I got married! OMG!

Now I am completely unique.

Being a numbers person I have to question the results though...it says it comes from census information, wouldn't that have last been done in 2000?

Ah...thank you. I looked for it but wasn't able to spot it. So it is quite outdated and would not reflect anyone born before or married before 1990.

Apparently, less than 1525 have my first name. Less than 335 have my last name.

I'll tell you a quick funny story. In my early days of meter reading, I was reading in an apartment building and was shocked to see that three (3!) were in that building alone! Laughing

On that day, my illusion of uniqueness was shot!

Take a look at this:

The data we have comes from the U.S. Census Bureau's 1990 census.


The population has increased by over %20 since then, which means that approximately a fifth more people have your name now.

I'm not buying it. It says there are only three people with my first and last name, while I know there is one that lives less than twenty miles from me. Am I to believe that in all the rest of the states there is only one other?
