Here's a fun thing to do. Check your name...

[RushIsRot]

and who else might have it.

http://ww2.howmanyofme.com/

[unsavedtrash]

1. 13 of me in the U.S. n/t

[RushIsRot]

3. Only 3 of me... Who knew?

[Chan790]

2. Holy Crap

I don't have either a very common first nor last name...but there are 213 of me in the US.

[RushIsRot]

6. That'll take the wind out of your sails...

[Lautremont]

4. Before checking, I'm going to predict: none of me.

I'll get back to you...

[Lautremont]

7. ...and I was right. 0 and 0.

[lizziegrace]

5. 0 of me

Guess I'm flying under the radar. :shrug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

12. I don't exist either.

Even though there are 26,997 people with my first name and 4,350 with my last name and obviously, one person with both.

[oxymoron]

13. 0 of me too! (nt)

[recoveringdittohed]

14. I don't exist either

While there are 488,949 people in the US with my first name, no one in the US has my last name! (it is an unusual last name but I know that I and many of my relatives do in fact exist)

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

8. Datebase is QUITE incomplete

It says there's NOONE in the United States with my last name, which is kind of funny because I can name several not even including my relatives. And a google search always turns up quite a few both related to me and not.

[RushIsRot]

11. Picky, picky...

[Katina]

53. no one with my last name

and 1/2 million with my first name. The FAQs say that 1 in 10 will not have their name in the database so this is a far from complete source.

[mark414]

9. 1,144

i have a pretty common first name though...and sullivan is the smith of ireland...

[deadparrot]

10. Just one of me!

I'm assuming that would be...me. :)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

22. You must be Dndrlsxy Chmoznomvlch

[ruiner4u]

15. guess im dead common,

cause there are over 100k of me

:)

[Floogeldy]

16. Go ahead. Match your name with your IP address for the site owner.

Are you out of your fucking mind?

DO NOT ENTER YOUR NAME INTO THAT SITE.

}(

[Richard Steele]

18. Great- NOW you tell me!

:rofl:

[Richard Steele]

17. 896, allegedly. But a DAMNED odd thing:

QUOTE:"There are 2,560,232 people in the U.S. with the first name Richard.
99.77% of people with the first name 'Richard' are male"
So they are claiming that there are 5888 FEMALES in the USA named "Richard"? :wtf:

Sorry, but I think something's WRONG with that site!

[Nicole]

24. I know a woman named Richard

She was named after her father. She goes by Char though, no one calls her Richard. I don't think many of her friends even know her real name.

I can't wait to tell her there are 5887 more female Richards out there, she was sure she was the only one. :rofl:

[Richard Steele]

25. Ok, that's a new one on me!

5887 to go!

[qnr]

19. 563 of me. And apparently there are errors in my Windows registry db

that need to be cleaned. Which is somewhat interesting, as I'm running Linux :)

[ZombieNixon]

20. Apparently I don't exist.

Though I know that I exist...and that there's one other person in this country with my exact name, the impostor. x(

[GoddessOfGuinness]

21. There are 3 who have the same 1st and last names as me...

But I'll bet we all have different middle names.

[Floogeldy]

23. Let me guess your middle name.

Gertrude? ;)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

26. Nope

You want to keep guessing?

[Floogeldy]

29. Yow

Carlotta?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

30. Way easier than that...

I was just thinking that the odds of three people having the same first, middle, and last names are probably pretty slim, especially when one of the shared names is pretty unusual...

[swag]

27. I found out about a woman with my name who died a couple years back.

She was about my age. Her young daughter called her "the best hugger in the world" in the obituary.

The obit was so sad.

I also have a miscreant cousin with the first name spelled differently.

It's odd that there are allegedly so few people with my surname in the country, since I am bumping into more of them of late.

Anyway, I'm supposedly the only one with my name in the US.

Good game.

[flamingyouth]

28. 29 of me.

[SeattleGirl]

31. Wow, 189 people with my first and current last name.

Only 5 people with my first and maiden name.

[u4ic]

32. That's weird...

There are 14,998 people with my first name.

0 with my last name, hence 0 people with my full name.

OK.

Then it lists one famous person with my last name, who is a Canadian hockey player who plays for a US team.

Click on his name, and it states there are 0 people with his name living in the US. :crazy:

[reyd reid reed]

33. Well, damn

There are 222 of me.

[gr8dane_daddy]

34. Fairly obscure.

Only 174 other "me"'s

[Guava Jelly]

35. 150 of me in america

:)

[Random_Australian]

36. ZERO. 0. None. I win the americans lose.

[Kutjara]

37. 7,936.

Fucking marvelous. I feel so special. Blech.

[MissHoneychurch]

38. 5 of me in the U.S,

WOW. And I am having quite a German name (considering that I am German and live in Germany)

[sakabatou]

39. 396

[Kutjara]

40. Apparently, there are 503 people named George Bush.

Suddenly, the task seems far more acheivable, doesn't it?

[Sugar Smack]

41. 6,035

Good Grief!

[VOX]

42. Something I apparently share with 2,316 other Americans...

I suppose it might come in useful if trying to disappear in a crowd...:)

[NewWaveChick1981]

43. 386 people with my maiden name. 10 with my married name.

:hi:

[wildhorses]

44. ....

There are:
1,765
people with my name
in the U.S.A.

[miss_american_pie]

45. 58

There are 1,397,854 people with my first name.

[Phillycat]

46. Only 25 of me.

And I have a very common first name.

[kmla]

70. Lemme guess.... Your name is......

....Earl.

Am I right?

[Phillycat]

73. Hee.

It's not Jane either! Long story. :D

[nosillies]

47. As I guessed, 0

It's a double-barreled last name, so I would have been shocked to find others! It's kind of neat to know of everyone with your last name. For me, they're all in England (some kind of famous, some kind of infamous!).

But at least I have some company with my maiden name -- 108 others!

[BarenakedLady]

48. 10 of me

:)

[MrCoffee]

49. There's 2 of me...so where's the other one, ya sneaky bastid!

Show yourself!

[trof]

50. I don't exist.

:-(

[supernova]

51. There are only 2! Two! of me!

in the entire US! Weeeee!

[Divameow77]

52. There is only one person

with my first and current last name, and 22 with my maiden name. That's funny, I think my current name is much more common then my maiden name.

[trackfan]

54. There are Zero of me according to that site.

In reality there are 2 people in this country (or world) with my name.

[Radical Activist]

55. 41 thieves have taken my name

[XNASA]

56. 7,231

And all of them are complete bastards.

[bridgit]

57. There are: 19 people with my name in the U.S.A...

:)

[bigwillq]

58. There are 22 of me

with the same name. :wow:

[insane_cratic_gal]

59. 80 of me but the program is under accuracy states this

Which is quite hilarious! basically saying Hey we ain't accurate at all it's a probability

I have a spanish first name and an Irish last Name I know my name has to be rarer then 80 people! Not a common on the spanish side of things like Maria or such.




Accuracy:

Q: How accurate is this program?

A: More accurate than a Magic 8-ball. Less accurate than distributing and collecting 300 million surveys.

Q: No, really. How accurate?

A: Well, it's hard to say. In order to determine how accurate this program is, we would need a program that was completely accurate for comparison purposes. If we had a program that was completely accurate, we'd use that program instead of this one. At that point, discovering how accurate this program is would no longer be worth the effort. Therefore, we can fairly confidently say that it is impossible to determine how accurate this program is. (Confused? We're just warming up.)

In our completely non-expert opinion, we say that the program gives a decent ballpark estimate, but it shouldn't be used for anything more than that.

Q: Why isn't it more accurate?

A: There are a number of possible sources of inaccuracy:

First and foremost, the program is based upon a convenient fiction. Without getting too technical, the program makes the assumption that a person's first and last names are independent of one another. What this means is it assumes that the probability of a person having a particular first name is the same no matter what last name they have. It isn't.

So, for example: The program assumes that the chance that your first name is "Juan" is the same, regardless of whether your last name is "Arteaga" or "Epstein". Episodes of Welcome Back Kotter aside, we would hazard a guess that there are not that many people in the U.S. actually named "Juan Epstein". Depending upon what your family name is, it makes certain first names more likely, and certain others less likely. The program cannot compensate for that.

Fifth, we failed to make the required blood sacrifices to the gods of programming and statistics. Surely they will plague our endeavor with errors and inaccuracies


LOL it was funny read none the less

[bikebloke]

60. 869

I would think there would be many more than that.

[joneschick]

74. 6,212

my husband is even worse. and there are other couples with the same first names......

[hedgehog]

75. If the program has a list of the first names and a list of last names,

how comes it doesn't have a list of first and last names? That sounds more straightforward to me than attempting a statistical analysis.

[ronnykmarshall]

76. Only 8 people

with "Ronny Marshall" as their legal name.

[Reverend_Smitty]

[jus_the_facts]

88. There are 0 people in the U.S. with the first name Amberley......

This name is not found in our database, this means the name is relatively uncommon.
