OT-Fun Name Game

Hey - I'm one of a kind, as are DD and DS (but I could have told you that). DH is one of 5!

Cheryl

I personally know of 5 others of me: there's an attorney in San Francisco and another in either Kentucky or Tennessee, a writer for music magazines, one in upstate NY and one in the midwest whom I used to correspond with. We even had the same return address labels, which used to drive her mailman batty!

The website says there are 1491 such copycats.

There are 1,000,395 people in the U.S. with the first name Karen. Statistically the 36th most popular first name

There was only one me, but same as Cheryl, would you expect anything else? lol

There were 229,476 Lucilles

Interesting. It gave me 0 with my first name, 0 with the last name - which is wrong - there are at least a handful, and 1530 with my maiden last name.

That was a fun little quickie.

ellice

There are 238 of me, IIRC. But the funny thing was the statement "99.99% of people with the name Susan are female." Presumably that just leaves Johnny Cash's famous "Boy named Sue" for the other .01%

sue

This is very inaccurate. According to them, not only do I not exist but neither do the more than 300 relatives I have with my same last name.

And there is no way in Hades my name is the 172nd most popular name in the country. My name was at it's height in popularity about 70 years ago and even then it never made the top 20, according to very baby name book and site I've looked at.

Well under my maiden name there are only 19 of me....one I'm aware of is an award winning documentary producer. I believe she also attended my high school prior to me so that always confused folks in the offices.

And according to this web site my married name doesn't exist - although I know if I Google it there is someone with the same name in the Midwest.

If you go back to the page and scroll down to the bottom you'll see that they don't claim to be accurate. They even have an accuracy information page with FAQ's that's fun to read.

They do claim it to be fun and that's what it is.

Lucille

It tells me that my best friend doesn't exist, and neither does my cousin Nancy. I'll admit, it's not the most common last name in either country, but I am positive that there's at least one person in the US with that last name. Either that or Nancy's gotten married and didn't tell anyone!

There are 1,541 more with my name and 3,192 with husband's name. Should have kept my maiden name because there were only 23 with that combination.

Hmmm, it says there are 2 people in the US named Britney Spears. I really feel sorry for one of the two.

Two kids, one of them my neighbor's son (same first, middle and last name) graduated from LHS two years ago. Not related either! Same birth month though.

The first time I went to the University Hospital, they had a file on me

6" thick. I couldn't understand, I'd never been there before and I didn't think that every medical record I ever had would be a pile that large.

It seems that even though I'd told the intake clerk that I had never been there before, there is someone else in town with the same first name, maiden name only one letter removed from mine, EXACT same birthday, so the clerk was sure that I was mistaken when I said I'd never been there before.

Fortunately, I can prove that when my alter ego was in the hospital for months, I was living and working in another city entirely.

Equally fortunately, her medical records indicate scars in places where I don't have any, which is how I finally convinced the doctor that I was brand-new in town and certainly hadn't been an inpatient for that many months.

The name, Mavia, doesn't exist in the database. I guess I'm an oddball! LOL
