I wasnt surprised to find that Im unique, you'd have quite different results just going by my surname (Lee) or the search was done in China...

Same here. If the search was in Poland i would be as common as Smith.
But it wasn't so smiley - drunk

2legs - Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side...

There is only one of me, which is probably me.
With this kind of information, I feel that I am, at last able to sleep at night safe in the knowledge that there can be only one.

There are 4 of me's, if I took hubby's surname there would only be 2 which is odd as I've got a very unusual surname (6 consonants 1 vowel) and hubby's is just a bad spelling of a common namesmiley - erm. Maybe it's because I come from a good catholic (and very productivesmiley - winkeye) family (my dad is one of 9, and all but 2 of them have kids).

There are 13 hubby's, and 142 of my sister (that'll learn her for marrying someone with a normal namesmiley - laugh). My mums a one off and my dads one of 3 (both of which are cousins). My grandma (on my mum's side) is one of 319smiley - yikes

166 More people die poking spoons in the back of computers

I know of at least one other in Canberra alone - and with a Welsh surname I am not too surprised about the number

I just checked and there are 3 of my man and none of my daughter.

My man's father has the same name but as we all live in Australia he shouldn't be counted but you never know he is English.

I'm distressed -- family history has it that my dad's people are from England, albeit about 200+ years ago. Yet there's only 36 with that surname.

Hmm -- I beginning to suspect my dad might be CIA!

There's only moi and another 23 folks of similar labelling in the UK. Which means I couldn't even do a 'Dave Gorman' (incidentally there's 146 of them).

Actually, once I went down to the police station to get a security clearance to do volunteer work at a local youth shelter. The proceedure involved filling out a questionaire and leaving it for a while and then coming back in person to pick up the clearance. So, I go into the station on the appropriate day and it turns out that there's a guy with the same name (including middle name) born on the same day who has a Canada-wide warrant out on him. The cop starts checking my fingerprints with a jeweller's loup and gets to the fourth finger before he lets me go!
