There are: 3,246 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

There are almost 1.5 million people with my first name and almost 700,000 people with my last name, and yet there are only 3000+ people with the two names combined? I don't believe it. I have a common name. I'm always meeting people with my first name, or varients thereof, and my last name is almost as common as "Brown."

*shrug*

Anyway,

Most of these are from two years ago. A week before Babe was born, we took a walk through one of the larger cemetaries in town. It's a gorgeous place, especially in late October.




































And, in case you're curious, if you look carefully you can see me, heavily pregnant(honest!), in the blue stripy coat.

More beautiful fall pictures! Loving it!

The name thing isn't all that accurate, to be honest. I typed in my maiden name and it came up a big fat zero with the combination. However, a couple of weeks ago I typed it in in Google images and got a hit... and not only did I get a hit, but I got a hit for a gal that lives less than 20 miles from here. It was very odd because my first and last name aren't the most common names out there. :)

:-) Happy to spread the cheer!

I figured it wasn't accurate. Statistically, it is very improbable. There might be only 3000+ people in the US with my full name (I've met one so far), but...

Sometimes the world seems awfully small, doesn't it?

See, there is something positive about living in NH!

I find the asphalt w/ leaves strangely compelling.

Yes. For four weeks out of the year it is one of the best places in the world. The other 48, however. Actually, I'm reconciling myself to this place. Now that I'm getting out and about it's starting to feel better in my heart.

Great pictures. I love fall.
The name web site doesn't appear to be working anymore.
I went there previously, and came up with 141 people with my legal name, and 9 people with the name everyone calls me ( nickname ) The 9 seems suspect considering that -- about nine years ago, before everyone and their unborn kid had an email address -- I went to one of the free email sites and tried to get myname@yaddayadda as an email address. It told me myname3 was available. That makes me think that at least three people with "my name" got there before me wanting that name (myname, myname1 and myname2). Out of a total of 9 people in the whole country? That's an awful high percentage.

Thanks. So do I.

Yeah. It seems improbable that my two fairly common names combine into a rather rare occurance. Especially considering that I just googled my name, and there were 21,400,000 pages found. Even taking into account that my name will be common in the entire English speaking world, and eliminating 1/2 for that, then judging another 1/3 are repeats of the same person... there's still a fair few more than 3000.

I guess they're counting on people not being able to think logically or mathmatically.
