How many of you are there?

Blue Baboon · 09-09-2008, 07:50 PM

This is interesting. Click on this site link---> How Many of Me and see who else in the USA shares the same name.

There is only one of me with my married name.
There are 208 people with my maiden name.

(just an idea for the Bubbler...how about making clickable links a different color?)

Pretty fun.

There is 185 of 'me's' running around. lol

I thought this would be fun to bump up for some of the newer posters.

CindyLouWho · 02-02-2010, 05:06 PM

There are 120 people in the US with my maiden name. But I am the ONLY one in the whole US with my married name. I always knew I was "special". LOL

How 'special' would you feel if you had one of the following:

There are 5,064,252 people in the U.S. with the first name John. Statistically the 2nd most popular first name.

There are 2,123,943 people in the U.S. with the last name Johnson.
Statistically the 2nd most popular last name.

There are 34,865 people in the U.S. named John Johnson.

There are 2,717,551 people in the U.S. with the last name Smith.
Statistically the 1st most popular last name.

There are 44,609 people in the U.S. named John Smith.

pk, I am sorry but you are not real. You are just lines of text on a computer display.

LOL That might explain what it said when I looked up a couple of my relatives names. It said "There are one or LESS of people with that name in the US"! How can it be less than one? Wouldn't that be none then?

Even worse, can you imagine trying to do genealogy research on relatives with those last names? What a nightmare that would be! I'm sure glad I don't have to worry about that. I'm not related to any Smiths or Johnsons or Jones either.

Cool! When I searched both of my son's names, it said there was only one of each of them. But I know there are more because they show up on both Facebook and also when I google their names. So there is another one of each of them out there and one of them is actually pretty well known.

I have to wonder how many more are out there now with our names since this program was based on the 2000 Census.

I never used to show up on google at all. Now I'm on there due to my job hunting activities. Watch what you say on Twitter since it shows up on google.

There are 24 people in the U.S. named David Gridley.

LOL I like funin'. It makes me smile. Then it makes me chuckle. Then it makes me giggle a bit more. It could even make me laugh. Then it makes the cat look at me weird and then it starts all over again.

Then...

oh, guess you get the idea.

Funin' all you can John.

urbanideas · 02-03-2010, 08:49 AM

That is a cool tool. Only one of me with maiden name as well as with married name!
