How rare are you?

This was fun.  I was actually surprised at how low the number was for me.  My last name is very common and there are about 240 of me in the U.S.  Now I'm in Canada and I had to get a new hospital card at PMH which is a cancer hospital.  This was quite a few years ago before I got cancer the first time (6 years ago...I was being screened at the time for ovarian) and, at that time, there were 45 people with my name just at that hospital.

Now, granted the hospital is in Toronto, which is a large city and people go to this hospital from all over the province but still.

Same here Paulette But then, I attribute that to the mangling of my family name at Ellis island.

Ha!  One of me....and yet for Jane: There are 381,026 people in the U.S. with the first name Jane. Statistically the 149th most popular first name. More than 99.9 percent of people with the first name Jane are female.

Has to be the last name  

My dd's name came up with the Fewer than one, so here's what it said about the 'Fewer than One' thingy:

Even if both names are common enough to make our list, if they are both relatively uncommon names, there may be less than 50% chance* -- sometimes much less than 50% -- that even one person has that name. Since our numbers suggest such a person is unlikely, although possible, we hedge our bets and say that are likely "1 or fewer" individuals with that name.

505 of me!!! Wow...I thought my name was sort of different!

Haha this was fun.  There are 1 or fewer of me also. 

Nicki

It's cute - but wrong.

I came out one or fewer, but I know one other person with the same first and last name

She's my sister-in-law

Just one of me in the U.S. -- not "one or fewer", just one.

Ann is the "96th most popular first name."

But there are only 640 people in the U.S. with my last name -- all relatives, I think!  At least, that's what my father once said: "If you ever meet anyone who spells their last name the same, we're probably related."

In Slovenia, I met a woman named "Anja [SAME LAST NAME]."  So I guess that's 2 of me in the whole world...

Wow, there are 68 of me.

1 of my maiden name and first name combo

6 of my married name and first combo

My sister Penni - is one or fewer with her first or last name combo

I don't have a common name but I know that there are 2 other females and at least one male in our metropolitan area with the same name/spelling.   I used to think my name was fairly unique,  I guess not!  I've actually met one of the females and one of the males at a community affair when the name was paged over the PA system for a door prize drawing.  We had to go on handwriting to determine the winner! 

There are 2 of me! Must be because of my hubby's last name.

iodine, sounds like you multiplied like bunny rabbits  LOL

I tried my nickname (Sandy) with both my maiden and my married name, and got ONE.

There was also ONE with my given name...Cassandra...and my married name.  Wow.

Sandy

Only one of me with my married name, 45 with my maiden name.

Only one of me under my madien me, and 2 with my married name!  This is so cute!
