Poll: How common is your name?

[lokun489]

Using a how commen is your name site, I know that my name is rather common.

 

[Lizardon]

Braden is a fairly uncommon name. On top of that most people spell it with a y. I've never met another person with the same spelling.

 

[Matt-the-twat]

Doesn't come more common than Matt.

 

[Nightmare-Child]

Very common. My name's Jim.

 

[aba1]

Eric. Pretty common around the world. I live in the U.S. where it's sort of common, but not really.

I am a Eric too

 

[savandicus]

0.006% of people living in the US share my first name. Which is a massive 18.7k people. Which makes my name 272 times as rare as John. I originally choose rare on the poll but i think i would downgrade it to common as more people share my name than i expected.

 

[Klarinette]

Well, in my first year of college, there were three of us.

 

[Kevlar Eater]

My name is fairly common in the Middle Eastern region; it's rare everywhere else.

 

[JLML]

Well, it could be both, really. Depends. I voted common because the name I go by most of the time is kinda common. But my full name is probably quite unique, for I have NEVER heard of ANYONE else being called Joel Lars Magne Ljungberg... Also, some of my friends find that combination of names funny for some reason. Still, most of the time I just go by the name Joel, since using the full thing is just unnecessary. ^^

 

[Duruznik]

I have an Israeli name, so no more than several thousand (maybe a bit more) share my name (only about 6 million people even have Israeli names, at most).

 

[Crazy_Dude]

Both me and my brother have very old Dutch names. It is pretty darn rare and I have yet to meet anyone named the same.

Eric. Pretty common around the world. I live in the U.S. where it's sort of common, but not really.

uh what?

Eric is easily one of the top 5 most common guy names that I know of, personally I know of 8 Eric's off the top of my head, and that's only me personally and they are ALL my age...so yeah..

OT:

My name is pretty damn common, although there are lot's of ways to spell it, and I go by literally all of them (most people I know never get it right or use a different version so I basically stopped caring at age 5) so I don't know how to tally that up, but I do personally know OF a few people in my own damn area who have the exact same name as me, so ironically enough it's pretty common...

Spoiler: big picture is big

If you start to notice alot of Joseph's missing..this is why...

 

[Zac Smith]

Both my name and surname together, are EXTREMELY rare, according to howmanyofme, their are less then 14 Zacharrie Smith's in the US, and yes Z-A-C-H-A-R-R-I-E, not Zachary or any other spelling. As far as I know, my way is the old Hebrew version of the name

edit: Less then 1500 Zacharries on their own btw

 

[kasperbbs]

I'm certain that no one else has my name. It sounds fairly similar to another one so i always have to correct people when they are writing it down or something, very rarely people get it right form the first time.

damn you captcha! 'foul smelling' ,ok ok imma go shower now..

 

[Product Placement]

I said rare but in theory, it's pretty common where I live. It just happens to be that the place where I live is the only place in the whole world where it's common and the population is well under a million.

[Sir Ollie]

36,631 Olivers in the UK apparently.

and 1 of my full name

 

[cWg | Konka]

according to http://www.namestatistics.com/ my named is the 14th most common name in the us

 

[Lord_Nemesis]

Andrew, in Scotland. Not as popular as it once was but still, a good name for the country I live in. Could only get more Scottish if I was called Hamish... or Angus.

 

[Qtoy]

Quentin. I've only met a few Quentins, even fewer with the same spelling.

Apparently, it's the 562nd most common name in the US. Roughly 0.015% of people have the same name as me. 18,375 people approximately.

I think that makes it fairly rare.
