Add Thomas Covenant, Linden Avery and Hile Troy (and Fish Taco, I guess :lol: ) to the non-existent party, and things are really starting to pick up!

Kaydene, that's actually really cool. I'd prefer to blend in on paper, but stand out in a crown when I choose to.

There are 59,974 people in the U.S. with my first name, and are 4,760 people in the U.S. with my married last name, and just me with the combination. Using my maiden name there were 10 of me. :(

It has to be depressing when it comes up and tells you that there are "1 or less" people with your name. Like it's holding out the possibility that you may be less than a person. :)

Definitely!

I have a feeling there's so many because my first name was popular when the baby boomers were being born. I rarely see someone around my own age with my first name.

You flatter me! In return, let me say that your own droll postings remind me of Adams's wit.

13 years later, that number has grown to 2675. Dad is the one with the unusual first name, yet there are 3 others with his full name. Hopefully they are not counting his father, who he was named for. He’s been gone now for 45 years.
