[mental_looney]

First name currently not so common but still popular, last name so common Wilson >.<

 

[Gravy Boat Gary]

Although my user name is Gravy Boat Gary, my real name is Garrett Thomas, two fairly common names however the problem is Garrett is usually a last name and Thomas is usually a first name. Teachers at school would always call me Thomas, assuming that was my real first name and perhaps there had been a typo on the role or something.

Garrett is a hard name to call out in a loud place so when introducing myself allot of the time people think I say Gary, so it's like a second name or maybe I can't pronounce my own name right, muh doesn't matter.

Had a young family friend who couldn't pronounce my name correctly, he was a big Pokemon fan so he just called me Gyarados.

In my country of birth or the name's country of origin? Because in my country of birth there are about three people who have Fionnuala/Fionnula as a first name. There are a one or two more with simpler spellings.

In its country of origin however I have no idea; all I can tell you its not among the top 25 names in the country. I think it's pretty uncommon there too.

Results?

Sweden: Very rare

Ireland: Uncommon/Rare

I think. Any Irish who can tell me?

EDIT: Took away joke that upon re-reading made no sense. I am sooooo tired... -_-;

i have never heard of that name im Irish that seems to be a very rare name.

Well, on this site I'd say I'm alone with GeorgW, but there are a select few sites where I've had to use another screenname. Oh, you meant my real name? Yeah, it's pretty rare. I've never met anyone with it in my country, but have in other.

Crap, Double Post.

 

[hannan4mitch]

I believe that my name is somewhat rare, it's Mitchell
But I use my nickname much more, Mitch.

 

[cyanomical]

Michael... yeah its the most common name out this way. 7 Michaels at my work alone. We just go by last name to avoid confusion.

 

[Innegativeion]

Ian.

I know that other Ians exist, but I think I've only ever met one. So I'd say fairly rare.

 

[YoStone]

Steingrímur. Very uncommon, globally at least. In Iceland it's pretty common, the thing is I moved from Iceland as a kid. I currently only know two people other than myself with that name: My father and my grandfather.

 

[Dango]

Wyatt.

I've never met anyone with the same first name.

 

[UlytimateDestruction]

Paul. I actually have a friend who has the same name and I've seen a few pauls on TV. I would say its quite common.

 

[AgDr_ODST]

I checked that 'How many of me' website that the 4th poster mentioned and according to it there are less than 1,559 people in the US named Zadok! And On top of that Im the only Zadok Hines in the country!

 

[tenkerasu]

I'm a 23-year-old woman named Royce Ellen. First of all, Royce is a boy's name, and traditionally meant "son of the king," like Rex is "king." Second, Ellen WAS a common name...like a while ago. So yeah. I am the only one with my name ever - I've googled it.

 

[War Penguin]

I've yet to meet another person named Atticus. And, oh, how I want to. That would be awesome.

 

[The Hero Killer]

My name is Brandon and its pretty common.

 

[AetherWolf]

Miranda. Met only a handful of people with that name in my life time, most of them spelled it with a "y"...

"Statistically the 860th most popular first name.
Statistically the 297th most popular last name."
And there are 15 people in the US with my first and last name...
Knowing that, it's a good thing I don't reveal my last name online.

But I live in Canada, so those results might be irrelevant.

 

[Quaade]

my first name is very common, last name is common as dirt, however due to an unusual middlename,my full name is unique, noone else with it.

 

[SodaDew]

My name is Kurt, but I never hear of many other people in the US with my name, lots in Europe tho.

 

[moosek]

My name is Kevin. My full name awesome.
