there's a guy in Connecticut who has the same first/last name as me... he also studied the same thing as me in college (English Lit) and is currently a teacher.

I've always wanted to stalk him someday.

Only 2 people in the US have my first and last time.

Oddly enough, I've actually met the other guy who has my name. He's a Mennonite in Iowa. Go figure.

Statistically the 4th most popular first name :)

There are fewer than 116 people in the U.S. with that last name.

There are 2 or fewer people with my first and last name in the U.S.A.

Wow no wonder trying to track my family history leads to dead ends.

My last name is kind of tricky because it is a common noun as well, and there are multiple spellings of it in proper noun form. (It's Body)

According to that website there are 2160 people with the same last name. I wonder if they go through the trouble of having to spell it for people all the time too?

I am the only one with my name in the US. 39k with my first name, and 5.5k with my last, but only me with both.

16 people match both names, and 960 have my last name.

...odd.

Website says I'm the only person with my name, and 82,000+ with the same last name, 1,600 with the same first name.


...you have one of them "non-branching" family trees?

:hmm:



:p

EDIT: Apparently, there are 35,359 people in the US named John Johnson, the 2nd most popular first name, 2nd most popular surname.

....yeah, this website is BS. lol.

I don't need that site to answer this question.

There are 8 living people with my maiden name. They are all related to me (parents, two sisters, aunt, uncle and two second cousins) and unless one of my sisters gets married and keeps her name and gives it to her children (unlikely), it will die out this generation.

2,162,401 for first name 35,847 for last name

248 for both

It says 116 for last name and 1,564 for first name WHENEVER the answer is 0. Try just a nonsense string of gibberish, still 116 for last and 1,564 for first.

What is your name?
