If you go to this website and enter your first and last name, you can find out how many people in the US census share your name!


782 people share my first and last name!


535,000+ people share my first name (67th most popular)

446,000+ people share my last name (it is one of the top 50 most popular last names).

Apparently 72 people in the US share my name


Also, there's apparently only one Angelina Jolie, and there's 5 Brad Pitt's


Edit: and 790,985 people have the name Sarah, but only 27,532 people have my last name (it's the 1440th most popular).

And apparently there's only about 10,000 with the first name Mohammed, and 7,000 with the last name Mohammed. I find that very hard to believe - it's the most common first name in the world.

This is based on the US census though, so maybe there aren't as many. I've also seen variations on the spelling.

I plugged in the spelling "Muhammed", and got 4,846 people with the first name (third most popular), and 9,178 with that spelling as their last name.

"Mohamed" got 7,510 first names and 6,119 last names...and one Mohamed Mohamed.

I'm one-of-a-kind. There are 84 people with my last name. They're probably all my aunts, uncles, and cousins. I'm not joking. When my grandma passed away in the 90's, I had over 60 cousins.

347 people share my first and last name.
258,472 people have the same first name.
409,913 people have the same last name.

My married last name is a fairly common one.

However, if I punch in my maiden name...
There are only 3 people with the same first and last name, and only 3,060 with the same last name.


Oh well. I love my husband.

It says my first name is the 5th most popular name is the US.
373 people in the US have my last name.
2 people in the US have my full name (meaning one other I guess.)

It's funny, my brother accidentally found someone before with the same first and last name as him. According to this site they're the only people with that name.

There are only 19 people with my full name. I know one of them lived near me, because 15 or so years ago we had the same eye doctor! Thankfully I was from one town and she was from the next so they could tell us apart on paper.
