How many of you are there?

No I'm not talking about multiple personalities, I'm talking about people who share your name.

There are only 56 peeps (including me) who share my name.

Ditto about being rare, but not as rare as you. There are 31 people who have my name!
What a strange fact to have at my fingertips!

I am the only me, and apparently I don't exist. It asks if I work for the CIA that would explain the people responding to me in spy talk.

There are 109 of me, apparently. But 109 where?
I mean - I have *photographs* of eight people who share my name on my PC. (Vanity googling...). There's a fire safety engineer, a software consultant, a doctor, and even a film director (who directed an advert for Microsoft Encarta). There's also, in a bizarre coincidence, another person with the same name as me, living in the same town as me, going to the same chiropractor as me. Which weirded the lady on reception out slightly when he rang to cancel his appointment one Saturday, and I rang ten minutes later to make an appointment for the same time slot, for the same name. It weirded me out a bit, too, given that I'm the only person I know with my surname, let alone my full name.
Given all that, I find it hard to believe there are only 109 people with my name... So what is it searching?

Apparently there are only 69 people with my name, which i find strange seing as my mum has the same name for a start, and a famous person also shares my name, and as my surname is very common up north (pages and pages in the phone book)I very much doubt there are only 67 others who share my first name.

I believe it to be the UK electoral register, so anyone under 18 or not registered to vote isn't counted.

I put my married name in and there some 1200 of us.However I put in my maiden name and there are two of us.Not sure I like that-I thought my maiden name was unique.After all I know that everyone with the same surname in any telephone book is related to me.
Oh what was that? My maiden name?Oh it's Messenbird.
Incog.

There are only 7 of me but I bet if I put my surname only into the frey there would be a great deal more! Most people in the UK and Ireland really are related to me. ( Iknow, Ireland Eire- is a different story.

Is there a similar web-site in Canada? In the UK, there are no names which coincide with my 3 daughters. I may only suppose that I named them well and didn't use "fasionable" names of the time. - my brother has always said tdhat his neices names were sexy and bewildering!

There are 4905 of me, working off firstname and lastname. I suspect my middle name would push things most of the way to uniqueness if the site allowed it.

There are 53 of me and only 5 of my other half.
Rarer than a Wombats wingnut the both of us.
As for the little person in the family there is only one, and if it is based on the electoral register it won't be the one. As they say "This name is unique like a yeti or some form of Magic Chimp."
