How Many Of You

[Humpty]

Only one person matches my first and last name in the US.

 

How many have your name?

There are 305,309,185 people in the United States of America. If everyone in the U.S. lined up single file, the line would stretch around the Earth almost 7 times. That's a lot of people.

 

The U.S. Census Bureau statistics tell us that there are at least 88,799 different last names and 5,163 different first names in common use in the United States. Some names are more common than others.

How Many of Me?

[DennisD]

420 of me.

[Corona]

938 of me. If I enter my other, more unique, first name there is only 1 of me. And no, it's not Corona.

[hazelnut]

938 of me. If I enter my other, more unique, first name there is only 1 of me. And no, it's not Corona.

 

How many guesses do get at it?

 

Does it begin with A?

[LuLu]

With both my first and last name, there's only ONE of me. That's a good thing because I don't think the world could handle more than one of me. LOLOL

 

There are 22,899 people with my first name and "fewer than 336" people with my last name.

[YoKenny]

There are There are 83,961 people in the U.S. with my first name and 1,557 with my last name but only 1 of me but then I'm in Canada EH!

[Corona]

How many guesses do get at it?

 

Does it begin with A?

 

One.

Nope.

[davey]

Only one person matches my first and last name in the US.

 

How many have your name?

 

How Many of Me?

I didn't use my real name.

It said that there were hundreds of millions with the name I used.

Now, let's see if I get any E-mail for S*** Head.

[__RiP_ChAiN_]

There are 1,027,380 people in the U.S. with my first name, 336 with my last name. With both names I am unique

[Anthony A]

There are 336 people with my last name.

 

I tried my two first names.

 

Anthony is the 32 most popular name in the US with 1,105,251 named that.

 

Tony is the 216 most popular name with 296,158 people named that.

 

Using Anthony as my first name it says there is one person in the US with my name.

 

Using Tony as my first name it says there is one or less with my name.

[davey]

Using Tony as my first name it says there is one or less with my name.

I wouldn't want to be "or less" in your situation.

Maybe it's a cultural thing.

Either we have a lot of members with very unusual last names or just unusual for the U.S.

I have an unusual last name but there are thousands of households with that name in the U.S.

 

The figures are slanted or they want a lot of us to believe that it was easy to E-mail us with the junk because there are so few with our name that we were easy to find.

Watch out for the Genealogy E-mails that may be coming. Or worse "Congrats Soandso. You may be the heir to the unclaimed Soandso fortune !!! All we need is a little money and information to verify this."

P.S. On reviewing the prior posts I just realized that #336 seems to be a popular number.

Maybe it is time for some scans ?

Ehh, it seems things are amiss there.

[Anthony A]

I wouldn't want be "or less" in your situation.

Why not? I couldn't care less if some body else has my name or not.

[Anthony A]

Ehh, it seems things are amiss there.

 

Whats amiss? Lu Lu and Humpty and Rip chain all said there is only one person in the US with their name so the fact only one person has my name when using Anthony is no big deal. Thats four people in this thread with unique names. Using Tony it says one or less again no big thing considering with Anthony there is only one person and Anthony is far more popular than Tony.

[CTskifreak]

I'm the only one with my name.

 

* There are 822,832 people in the U.S. with the first name Andrew.

* Statistically the 54th most popular first name.

* 99.63 percent of people with the first name Andrew are male. Odd.... never considered a girl having the name Andrew. Andy, maybe, but not Andrew.

 

I think the weird thing is the number 336 for the last name. I have 489, so maybe it is a coincidence.

[hazelnut]

It seems a bit of a coincidence that Rip _Chain and AnthonyA both state 336 other people have their surname.

 

Perhaps they are related and don't know it. Stranger things have happened.

 

Perhaps we could start CCleaner Genes United with scanning for dna

 

I am not even going to put my name in, it's common (but let's not go there!!)

 

I live in a village and there is someone else in the next village, no relation, who has the same name.
