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.
Guess I'm unique.

And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.
~fly fly little wing, fly where only angels sing~
~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~
...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.

There is just one other person in the US with both my first and last names. I hope she has good credit!
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.wayfriend wrote:I know from previous experience one of me has very bad credit.
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.
