Grammaticaly incorrect, but interesting. Apparently, I am "like a rare bird, lost and pecking at nuts."

How common are your names?

Without going to the site I knew there would be 0 people with my name... Apparently I do not exist...

Me? I'm rarer than a wombat's wing nut. Apparently.

I don't exist either, not surprisingly as so far as I know I am the onlt one in the world (unless someone has sneaked a baby in somewhere)

Uh - oh - 103 like with my name - but I cannot believe anyone else is like me!

27 with my name, and that's rarer than a wombat's wing nut too, apprently.

IIRC it's taken from the British voters roll. It's got more sponsorship since I was last there!

Do something pretty while you can...

that'll be why it didn't find me I go by the name I'm called (my middle name) not my first which is the official one - yup, just did the search, only one of me :-)

and 182 of my surname who vote

I'm not allowed to vote, only in local elections... they are quite fast to take my money in taxes though...

Depending on which name, maiden = pecking at nuts with 162. Married = wombat's wing nut with 6. How come I've never come across one of the other 162? Are they all hiding in one part of the country? Sorry slight paranoia attack there...lol

Dante - you can back me up here, you know that its not that common to come across our respective first name ;)

58 of me... "More people probably die of poking spoons into the backs of their PC's every yearthan there are of [me]".

"This was willed where what is willed... can get rather silly."

With my legal name I get:

There are

0

People with the name Debora Vanheyningen.

That name doesn't exist. Are you secret service?
Don't hurt me I've seen Enemy of the State.

--
Well, I now know for certain that I'm not on the British voters roll, apparently. Same result even if I use the more common spelling of Deborah, or search for just my last name. And I KNOW there used to be some VanHeyningens in England, because I saw the name on some scientific papers researching cholera in the early '90s.

Nobody with my Medieval name, Magdalena Vogelsang, either, although there are 21 Vogelsangs (rarer than a wombat's wing nut).

1512 of me. There's a lot of me about, I hope it's not catching.

Aha! If I separate it into 2 words, there are 19 van Heyningens, but none with my first name.

(I stopped spelling it with a space between the two, because I got tired of going places and finding my file split between folders under V and H.

belochka - yup! I was quite surprised about the number of them, actually. But there's more than I thought in the BBC too - maybe we're less uncommon than we though. (In which case we should be able to get tacky souvenirs with our names on.)

Well, I looked up Jasper, and as we all suspected, he's one of a kind.

-----
There is

1

Person with the name Jasper Fforde.
This name is unique like a yeti or some form of Magic Chimp.
-----

And for the last name 'Fforde':

There are
41
People with the name Fforde.
More people probably die poking spoons into the back of their PC's
every year than there are of you.

It did, however, find 3 people named Thursday, as well as 5 named Landen and 5 named Bowden. There's even one person with a surname of Hades.

I've found that there are 48 John Constantines, admittedly only of interest if you liked DC Comics 'Hellblazer'. Which I did :)

Dante - With that justification I will now seek out miniature vanity plates, novelty mugs, @#$%& pre-engraved I.D bracelets, bookmarks..... I'll let you know!

I don't exist! (HMMMPH!)
