Unique or Common as Muck?

Your not me

Well, their spelling is dodgy, but they can tell you how many people in the UK share your name.

When I tried I found out there was 1 person in the UK with my name,
"This name is unique like a yeti or some form of Magic Chimp."

Me and Dubya, oh yeah...

Bear

Tells me -

There are 272

More people probably die poking spoons into the back of their PC's
every year than there are of you.

I've never met another me, maybe I should organize a club for us.

that

09:02 / 07.04.03

Apparently I am rarer than a wombat's wingnut. There are 99 of me.

Do you think this stuff is correct?

Our Lady of The Two Towers

09:03 / 07.04.03

Yet strangely, 0 Dave Gormans.

He lied to us!

(Alright, there are 146 David Gormans)

Sax

09:43 / 07.04.03

528 of me. That's a little distressing.

Ganesh

09:48 / 07.04.03

8 of me.

I am, t'would appear, "rarer than a wombat's wingnut". Which is nice.

mkt

09:55 / 07.04.03

148 of me. Which is sort of comforting. And yet disturbing. Hmm.
It's not as much fun as typing your name into a search engine and seeing what your more notable namesakes are up to, though. As my name is one which can apply to both genders, there's quite a cross-section of society: I share with a prominent disabled athlete, a violinist, a professor of economics and a really minging 80s porn starlet. Which is interesting.

Kit-Cat Club

10:06 / 07.04.03

516, but that wasn't counting all the variant spellings of my first name, which would take it up to at least 1000. I suppose it means it'll take Them more time to track me down...

Aethelwine Jedi

10:13 / 07.04.03

There are just 2 of me, apparently: Light NakidJedi, and Dark NakidJedi. But... which am I? Will I only know when it's too late?

Sax

10:15 / 07.04.03

There is that, KCC. We'll be okay, while as soon as they start rounding up Jacaranda Oswald Sushi name-a-likes Ganesh is going to be up shit creek.

The Strobe

10:19 / 07.04.03

40 people with my name, plus another 3 with my contracted four name.

The less of us the better, I fear.

that

10:24 / 07.04.03

You should be able to include your middle name too, dammit. Though my middle name is utterly bo-ring. My mum wanted to give me some cool names, Welsh or Russian...my dad wanted to call me Celia, which is, er...novel. Instead I ended up with the first names equivalent of John Smith.

Regrettable Juvenilia

11:19 / 07.04.03

There is only one of me, it seems - I assume it's me myself rather than a doppleganger, cos I do have a poncey foreign mongrel surname that comes from having ancestors who couldn't be arsed to stay in one country, or continent for that matter, for more than a couple of generations...

Quantum

12:04 / 07.04.03

"There are

0

People with the name Benedict Geddes.

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

Welcome to the shadowy world of a man who does not exist...*cue knight rider theme music*

Of course my username is common as muck.

Quantum

12:06 / 07.04.03

...but it is one of my middle names (the other is Fierdash) so I can be excused.

mixmage

12:26 / 07.04.03

hmmm... Quantum - you wouldn't happen to be P.O.Box 23? Seems we be invisible neighbours:

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

naturally, I cannot reveal it to you.
well I could... but only to give my black-clad warriors a bit of fun tracking you down!

... bring them to me, my Hashishin Nin-Jah.

mixmage

12:31 / 07.04.03

This you?

Baz Auckland

12:34 / 07.04.03

7 Andrew Sheddens! I expected more, really. Says there are only 694 Sheddens period. It seems we're in decline, and given my relatives I would say that's a good thing.

The Natural Way

12:40 / 07.04.03

There should be more Sheddens. I'm game.

Turns out there's 479 of me. Not much of a shock - in fact I thought there'd be more.

There's only 1 Mark Mark in the whole country. I mean....what's wrong with the world?

Quantum

12:42 / 07.04.03

Yup, that's an RPG character I had who also didn't share his name... not many Karakatakatis Theodopolopodis Potts around- closest is his cousin Karakatakatis Tangentialist Potts, also inventor and constructor of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
(Please send your hashishin ninja around, mine are getting lax and I need to cull the weakest, they are more hashish than assassin. Stoned ninja are not scary, just funny. I demand more from my elite guards.)

sleazenation

12:49 / 07.04.03

hmmmm, I always wondered...

There are 222 People with the name James Bond.
More people probably die poking spoons into the back of their PC's
every year than there are of you.

mixmage

13:28 / 07.04.03

Sorry Q... I sell the losers off as extras for Tick comix

grant

14:20 / 07.04.03

I'm unique. Which seems odd.

mixmage

14:27 / 07.04.03

Odd? here?!... home of freaks, geeks and the truly uniques.

Come now... three in one thread

Sax

14:37 / 07.04.03

Ha! Whittled the 528 down to three with the use of the diminutive of my first name.

Practically royalty, I am.

fidrich

15:08 / 07.04.03

Only 16 of me. I expected more, as my name isn't particularly unusual.

pointless and uncalled for

15:18 / 07.04.03

I am of the Wombats Wingnut variety. With the diligent use of a few of my ninja cohorts I should be able to reduce that number a little.

Mourne Kransky

15:46 / 07.04.03

No hen's teethiness for me: 1608 of us. Bugger all of 'em. I have encountered more than a few impostors wearing my name as I've gone throughh life, so I suspected this.

With astonishing unfairness, my sister appears to be entirely unique.

Olulabelle

18:47 / 07.04.03

On checking it appears that there are only 2 of me. (Which, having known myself for long enough, I could have told you anyway.)

Rev. Orr

19:35 / 07.04.03

I don't exist. Which I find oddly comforting.

Hugh_DeMann

20:08 / 07.04.03

0 namealikes either - so I don't exist apparently.

Tryphena Absent

20:14 / 07.04.03

I'm rather unsurprisingly unique.

gingerbop

22:13 / 07.04.03

There are 2 of me.
But my nephew doesnt exist. Ok, so hes only one, but REALLY, you woulda thought thered be a shitloada Lazaros Hatziannastassiathis's out there.

You Rock.

Welcome to the grand Scottish family with the surname that means 'hill-rise of the shed dwellers.' I just reek of class, I do.

02:47 / 08.04.03

163. I expected more. There's an Australian golfer with the same name as me. He pisses me off. There can be only one. And one day there will be only one!
