There are 13 people in the U.S. with my maiden name.
There are 59 people in the U.S. with my name during my first marriage.
(what's interesting is I met one, with the same spelling, as a school secretary at Beorn's middle school. But that was obviously after I married Hyperception and my name changed)
And there are 366 people in the U.S. with my current married name.

I've become less unique over time...

And also just out of curiosity:

There are 838 people in the U.S. with Hyperception's name.
There are 1 or fewer people in the U.S. with Beorn's name (that was the whole point)
There are 1 or fewer people in the U.S. with my sister's maiden name
And there are 1 or fewer people in the U.S. with her married name. So she stayed unique.

One or fewer matches for me (first + last name).

Seems more than 99.9 percent of people with my first name are female. Guess the pressure is on now for a sex operation.

18 Americans with my full name...although myself living in Canada, I'm not one of them.

I looked on Canada 411 once, there are three of me up here.

There are 1 or fewer people in the U.S. with my name. I guess that means I might not exist.

There are 445 people in the U.S. named Paul Haynes. I feel special now.

1 or fewer of me. I always suspected there was less to me than I thought...

798,117 share my first name.
1,829 share my surname.
5 share my first and last name.

I wish I could check for middle names as well. It would be interesting to find somebody else with the exact same full name.

Edit: I just googled my name, and got 2,640 results with my first and last names, and zero with my middle name added. I guess that makes me slightly unique.

Either that, or like Sorus and Earthfriend (and me!), you don't really exist. :wink:

Maybe we're all alteregos of other Watchers.

Or maybe it's just that I've never had all of the pieces of my name typed into the Internet at the same time.

We should have a non-existent party! There are enough of us (or are there?).
