Poll: How common is your name?

[Midnight Llamaman]

Not hugely I think, I've only ever known one other Alexander personally and that was a long time ago.

 

[Peteron]

I don't think Peter is exactly a rare name.

 

[Nimcha]

Very common, I know at least two people who share my name.

It's also the most popular girls name in the US or something...

 

[ScarlettRage]

Both my first and last name are frustratingly common.

mine too. i have one of the most common last names in the world, then top it off with a name thats been popular for the last 20-25 years...

 

[Amphoteric]

Matthew.

Its about the 40th most common name in the US

 

[Clave]

Glynn. Don't think I've ever met anyone with the same name, but I've heard of one or two. Still, pretty damn rare in my country I believe.

 

[Richardplex]

I think my name is uncommon, but not rare.
edit: according to Howmanyofme, I have statistically the 8th most popular name... huh. I've only met 2 other people with my name in England, strange.

 

[EeveeElectro]

Emily was one of the most popular names when I was born. There was about 4/5 Emily's in my year at school. I changed the way I spell it, I prefer it my way and it's less common.
My last name now is fairly uncommon where I live because it's a name from Wiltshire.
The one I'm changing it to is fairly common, it's a very 'Yorkshire' name, where I live.

 

[Pinkamena]

My name is Magne, and I have never met a person with this name before, only people with a slightly different name, Magnus. I sometimes see a person with my name on TV, but it's fairly rare.

 

[thespianicism]

I guess my name is more popular among preppy, wealthy kids. I spent a year at boarding school and 4 other kids at that school had my name. When I went back to public school, no one had it except for me.

 

[Folksoul]

Tom. It's as common as it gets.

 

[Aesthetical Quietus]

On the website "How many of me", you can check how many people in the US have your name. My first name is fairly common, but I am the only person in the US with my first and last name together. I am the one, true (insert name here).

Thank you for that site.

Lawl. I put fairly common before checking that site. Because over here, it is. In the states turns out that it is the single most common name first name. There are only 4 other "me"'s in the states tho'.

 

[KouThan]

Athanasios is pretty rare here in Greece so I think that is very rare in generall. At least it has a good meaning (immortal in english), I hope it was true too.

 

[Macgyvercas]

I know maybe a grand total of three people who share my name (Henry, BTW).

 

[RachaelIsaacHill]

Rachael is a common name, but it's usually spelled 'Rachel', so it becomes annoying quite often. My name is often misspelled on important things like government documents, school documents, certificates, and playbills. >.<

Also, I have the 'exact' same name (first, last, spelling, everything) as one of the victims of the V-Tech shooting. I found that out when I googled myself for kicks one day. That quickly became a depressing activity.

 

[EmperorSubcutaneous]

On How Many of Me, 4,676 people in the US have my name. Only I have my first name/last name combination.

It's rare enough that I get startled when I see or hear it...Seems more common for porn stars than regular people.

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

Pretty damn common. In my primary school there were 4 people in my class including me called Daniel.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Apparently, my name's the 175 most popular name in the US... though I've only actually met one other Julia... boy did that make things confusing...

 

[WhatHityou]

Well I think my name is rather uncommon. I haven't met a lot jeffrey's at least.

Also my capcha was hairy eyeball......that seems like a very uncomfortable problem.

 

[ChildofGallifrey]

Warren. Not extremely rare, but still fairly uncommon. My last name is Douglas though, there's Douglas' all over.
