There are 359 with my surname.

There are 1 or fewer with my first and last names. 8O (probably a few more in Italy I suspect...)

166 with my name.

Funny story - someone with my name is an insurance agent and lives within 50 miles of me. One Saturday morning about 5:30, I got a phone call from a guy who had just wrapped his car around a tree. I tried to explain to him that he had the wrong person (regional phone book - I'm listed above the other one), but I think there was alcohol involved... and it was like talking to a brick wall. Wish I had a recording of that call...

There are 36,903 people with my first name "Tracie"

But, when you combine it with my last name, which is hyphenated...I become the one and only. :D

Guess I'm unique. :D :D
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.

...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.

There are 704 of me. I looked up several friends and one person, also a watcher, is the only one. That's pretty cool.

There is just one other person in the US with both my first and last names. I hope she has good credit! :lol:

When I plug in the first name I was born with, I get "one or fewer" with that name. It's based on the 2000 census and I changed my name legally long before that, so I'm not surprised.

Aaand, just for fun:

* One or fewer with Magickmaker's name;
* One or fewer with Batty's name.
(There are only 114 people with their last name in the US, total.)

One of me is an aide to a Wyoming US Representative. I know this, because I'm constantly getting his email (what a difference a period makes). Another one of me used my email address to register on myspace. A high school kid who's really into video games.

If I had my father's last name (Sealock), I would be the only one. There are only 70-ish total with that last name.

There are 828,777 people with my first name, 2,810 with my last and 8 with both names the same. I should send out Christmas cards and track the resulting ratio of return greetings to restraining orders...
