Unique

When I was single, there were quite a few of me:

164
people with my name
in the U.S.A.

How many have your name?

Later, when I married the Hermit, I knocked that number back a fair bit:

20

in the U.S.A.

How many have your name?

Once I began blogging and moved to Australia, I became unique:

How many have your name?

Thanks to Jeff for putting me onto this!

So did you change your name again when you moved to Australia, or were you looking up Mooselet?

That's interesting. I plugged my name in and found that in the U.S. 1,005,986 have my first name and 54,706 have my last name. However, an amazing 181 have them put together. Luckily my son's name is fairly unique. There are only 2 with his full name.

As a child I was one of 69 - in my middle years there were 138 of us and now there are 86. Of course, if I hyphenate then I am truly unique.

I must admit I searched for Mooselet, and would have fallen off my chair if there was one. Then again as you pointed out, Jeff, there are several Jesus Christ's and kids are named after online sites now so who knows!

My first name is fairly popular, with 685,355 sharing it with me and making it the 68th most popular first name. Apparently, there are 0.1% of men walking about with it as well, which is a shame as it's a very feminine name. Sucks to be them.

Clive and Her Majesty are unique as their first names are not listed, even if they are spelt in the traditional manner and not as we spell them. And in their case I do mean their actual names are not their blog names. :-) Miss Thing is more popular than me (not surprising) sharing with 702,071 others and ranking 66th. Sparky is less so, sharing with 557,706 others and ranking 94th. The Hermit wins, sharing with 2,101,654 others and has the 11th most popular first name.

Geez, this comment is longer than my post! :-)

I RULE!
Zero people have my first name in the US and Zero have my full name.

Now... here's the funny thing. If I switch my first name for my Hebrew name, there's 28 people in the US with my name.

I found 293,293 with my first name; 45,590 with my last name and 44 with my full name.
I did searches on two nicknames and got no results.

Mooselet said...

Gabe - I did do a search on your birth name and saw you were unique right from the start. Why am I not surprised? :-)

The 0.1% of men are probably french. There is a french way of spelling your name that is pronounced the same.
