Default YourNotMe

(For those in UK only)

Find out how many share your name in the UK. I got 134, and there's me thinking my names unique - talk about a spanner in the works.

Edit; whoops forgot the link:http://www.yournotme.com/

Edit#1: Google is my friend, yournotme.com!

Edit#2: 14 for my proper name as on birth cert., 23 for my abbreviated forename.

Edit#3: The wife is unique!

Good to know that I do not exist in the UK at this very moment. That would be very confusing.

2 for me, which is a surprise considering we were once told by one of those name historian types that our family was the only one in England with this surname and as far as I know there is no one in my family that shares my 1st name... I have clones!

Oddly, I thought there'd be a lot more of me, my name is ridiculously common

All the more ironic since I don't have a drop of British blood in me (last name snuck in via Nordic/German connections rather).

Well, when the first Bradfield came to America in 1780 he apparently left behind enough relatives to have four of me running around the UK today.

You'd be suprised just how popular Adam Ant was in his heyday

Oh! I didn't even think of dividing them. 208,791 Stevens, 12,825 Steves and 1075 Bradfields.
