There are 137 of me. I know of a couple others that live in the same county in Utah with me - I used to get calls for them back when people used phone books.

When gmail was new, I got in early enough that I could get an email address that was just my first initial and my last name. I thought it was PERFECT. So easy to share with people, so easy to remember. Also, apparently, so easy for other people to use.

I'm part of a little league parent's group in N or S Carolina. I get car rental reservations and receipts pretty regularly from someone in NJ. I get receipts and shipping orders from 3-4 different stores regularly for someone in England, I get bills for internet for some dude in Cali, and there's a woman in Virginia who thinks I'm her aunt. When you use an initial rather than a full first time it really opens the world up as far as the number of names it could represent.

Interesting....there are 8 of me. I didn't think it would be that high.

I doubt the accuracy of this website whose owner is well-versed in html. I just typed in "Applejack": it tells me there are "fewer than 1,661" Applejack's in the US. No doi!

And with the exception of you, they are all black, right?

Only 26 of me. That's kinda cool.

[tooblue]

First name: 1,298,761
Surname: 421,404
Both: 1,648 (500 of those are likely in Utah alone)

I should've changed my first name years ago.

Last name is the second most popular in the United States...

I have the exact issue with Gmail early adoption and my name in the email address. So much crap from other people using my email to sign up for stuff
