my first name is in the top 100, but my spelling is not as common

****** is the #1184 most common female name.
0.006% of females in the US are named ******.
Around 7650 US females are named ******!

now my last name is a tiny bit different....not common at all.

****** is the #56887 most common last name.
0.0005% of last names in the US are ******.
Around 1250 US last names are ******!

2 funny asides:

1) when I first got on the internet, I found a chick in ID is have the exact name as me, except for 1 letter, her first is spelled just like mine, if I recall correctly, we have the same middle name, it just the last name that is 1 letter off.

2) doing some genealogy research on my family and stuff, just found out that my last name is German in origin (it was between German, French and Scottish...I don't know where we got the idea on French). We had a family reunion a few years back learned some interesting information (most likely my ancestors [on my fathers side] were not slaves) and my ancestral make-up, man my family are just a bunch of mutts). This information, plus the stuff that I recieved last week, just confirms the "rumor" of our last name. I am 99.9% positive that I am related in someway to every ***** (all 1250) in some way, shape or form.
