There are 24 people in the US with my same name...

There are 0 people in the United States with my name. Can I assume this number excludes me?
If I spell my name the way it is typically spelled, there is 1 person in the United States with my name. That would be my uncle.
If I enter my middle name, which is the name I normally use, there is 1 person in the United States with my name. I think that might be me, because the odds of someone else having my name are low.

There are 390 people in the United States with my last name according to that site.

Edit: Nevermind, the site appears to just use probabilities... The wording implied that it was an actual number, not a calculated number.

I am fairly sure that this site is not running off of a list of 300 million names and that it is instead running with a list of the most common names and extrapolating the results.
 
0 people with my last name in the database, and I think I'm the only person with my name overall.

That site is bunk.

That's what I assumed at first, but the wording threw me off. 😱 I figured it out. 🙂
 
7 according to that site. And 1 of them is my Dad. My grandfather and great grandfather also had this name, but they are dead, I'm not sure if counts those. So if does count them, then 4 of the 7 are me or someone I'm related to.
