2. I don't even exist!
I'm supposed to look in the mirror to see if I'm really there. I have sometimes wondered that myself.

6. I don't either
but I already knew that somehow.
Not sure what knew.
Hell there's only one person with my last name in NYC.

3. wow
I'm rare as a wombat's wingnuts!

Said there's only 2 people in the UK with my name, which is surprising, as my surname is an English/Irish name, and my first name is a good old Irish name, though a variant spelling.

16. So...
your first name is an alternate spelling of Sean? (seems to be the most popular Irish name to spell differently, with Shawn being the most common alteration...)

22. you win!
You even picked the right variant!

The last name is an English word that was also the name of a US President.

27. Either Carter or Taylor, then...
although so far as I know "carter" is the only one of the two which is in current usage (although possibly obsolescent) in British English, while Taylor, in that spelling, has been a surname and not a word since the mid-late 1700's.

5. Wow! Rare as a wombat's wingnuts
Only 6 with my name.


Very surprising, since in HI there were 3 or 4 of us, i think there are maybe 6 here in NYC, and in WI we had three or four.

But then, mine is a German name, not a UKian name, though I am related to Winston Churchill. :-)

8. Heck, I don't exist and there is only one with my husband's name in
the UK... which is weird, because we can trace his family right back to the originator of the name in the US... and he came from Wales.

13. That is surprising!
You'd think coming from Wales, the name would somewhat available...

But perhaps it was a small family, and either they ALL moved to the US, or have slowly through marriage lost the name. All one needs is one generation of girls, and it's all over.

Edited on Fri Mar-05-04 06:54 PM by Richardo
- and so is my name...338 in the UK!

"Squirrels, Donkeys, Monkeys, these are a few of my favourite things. The chances are a <my name> has eaten one of them at one point. You monsters. Squirrels are chewy. "

10. Ha ha! I typed in John Smith:
There are 12,547 people in the UK with the name "John Smith."

"There are a lot of you John Smith's. Ever thought of mutating into one huge monsterous John Smith? Possible attributes. Shooting fire from ass, production of roaring wind on demand."

11. I don't think, hence I am not.
At least in the UK, which is weird because that's my heritage.

12. OhKay.....
I laugh at you with your strangely common yet weirdly uncommon name. Eh! make me put it down then. Come on! You've got strawberry bon-bons? Why didn't you say. Neeep.

I have 866 British compatriots :)

14. Hmmm....21...
and 1476 with my surname in the UK. Not surprising, considering that it's an English name.

15. Not very
Based on my married name (which is Irish in origin) there are 79 people in the UK with my name.
Based of my maiden name (which is English in origin) there are 200 people in the UK with my name.
Perhaps in say India or China, I could be a bit more unique, but not there.

20. Uniquest of the Unique
You don't exist. Go and look in the mirror. If you see something then we're wrong else you're some kind of magic pixie, elf, carrot or vampire. Sorry.

24. Unique enough
to know that "unique" is not a comparative descriptor. Something either is or is not unique.
