    I was in specsavers before when the optician called out my full name and two of us got up at the same time. What are the chances of meeting another person with the same name as yours. With the same appointment time too.


    Something similar happened me when I was in hospital having a hip operation done. The nurse looked at my file, then looked at me, then back at my file...

    "How old did you say you are again?"

    Turned out she was looking at my old man's medical files, they got mixed up, and the only difference between us on file was our date of birth!

    I should've told her it was the oil of ulay every day :pac:

    That site is completely unworkable on a phone in the pub whilst drunk.

    I do know that a famous stock racer in the states has the honour of sharing my name

    Dick Trickle?

    Only four of me. Surprised it's that low, I've a very common first name and a fairly common second name. I know there are dozens of me in Ireland.

    A lot of Americans have phonetic Irish names.

    There isn't anyone called that. I've been messing around with different names.

    For ridiculous first names, for example "Fuckhead", it will always say 1600 or fewer. For a ridiculous second name, for example "MacSweatyBalls", it will always say 119 or fewer. Combine the two and it will always say 1 or fewer.

    Combine one of the above with a real first/second name and it will always say 2 or fewer.

    It's a shitty algorithm that for a brief shining moment had me believing that a man or woman named Shithead MacSweatyBalls existed in America.

    37,063 - Surname

    2 with a combination of both.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,709 ✭✭✭Badly Drunk Boy


    That site is rubbish. I got 18 people with my name, but 1 or fewer people have my brother's name. I searched his name on Facebook and there are loads of Americans with his exact name.

    1,045

    2,731,964 with my first name. 122,472 with my last name.

    Sheldon's an idiot!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    40. Unique enough I suppose. Actually had American visitors a good few years back tracing their ancestors, their name and mine is similar, turns out the divergence came from a misinterpreted squiggle of an Irishman's signature during the American Civil War, and has led to a massive number of the slightly different name currently in existence in the US.

    Nice people. Were so accommodating when here, and after they went home, sent us a a massive shipment of gifts as a thank you for showing them around the locality.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,578 ✭✭✭Markcheese


    12 of me in the states- with about 2500 of my surname - Mind you there's 3 or 4 with my name in cork alone - including another lad in the same parish ( completely unrelated ....)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,673 ✭✭✭AllGunsBlazing


    Fewer than 1600 with the name Joeyjojo. Fewer than 119 with the surname Shabadoo.

    But nobody with a combination of both. That makes me sad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    1 or fewer.

    I'd probably be found pretty quick then :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,365 ✭✭✭ceadaoin.


    1 or fewer for my full name. I'm in the U.S. but haven't taken part in any census so it isn't me! 4800 with my first name, 16,000 last name.

    123!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,597 ✭✭✭Witchie


    No one has my version of my first name and just over 5k have my surname. I put my dad's name in and it said there was 1 of him there....guess what....it's him! :D He has a business over there so is registered.

    None have my son's exact name combination either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,616 ✭✭✭✭errlloyd


    About 4700.

    The most famous person with my second name, also has my first name...

    1 or fewer. Boo yaa mutha*uckaaas.

    I'm moving there, as i know of 2 others in Ireland, one of whom is a dentist whose emails i keep receiving despite telling his monumentally thick and vacuous secretary to sort out her sh1t.
