Wow, that is interesting.
An unbelievable 802 people share my name.
I do know of one other well known person who shares my name.
But never realized there were that many of us.

Not a single person shares my name in the US.  I was born in 1966, so I always told my mom she was some good drugs when she came up with my name.   ;D

5 people with my name and one is my daughter. BUT they say 0 have my husband and sons name! Checked the spelling twice - still came up zero.  They do have an unusual first name and it states that only 1000 people have our last name. Interesting site!

My last name wasn't even in the database LOL.  As far as we can tell by searching internet phone books and stuff, there's only a handful (if that many) of people in this country that have our last name.

Go down and actually select one.  Don't just accept the question "Are you over 13 years of age?".

It says no one has my first name.  I know 2 others, and aol has 35 members with my name.  Apparently database is not complete  :(

"...Q: Why isn't my name on the list?

The list of names from the census bureau isn't complete. For privacy reasons, names with relatively few responses were not included in the list. We used this data to create this site. Our site can only be as good as the data we have to work with.


Around 1 out of every 10 people will have a last name not on the list.
Around 1 out of every 10 people will have a first name not on the list.
Using the same statistical fallacy this site is known for, that means about 81% of people will have both names on the list. In a mathamatical (sic) coup our scientists have determined from this information that about 19% of people will have either one or both names missing from the list. ..."
