I think looking your name up on Facebook is more accurate than this website.

According to it, there is no one with my mother's name.

There are 3 people with my maiden name (there are at least 5 on Facebook).

There is 1 person with my daughter's name (there are 10 on Facebook).

And yet it says you don't exist. (I just looked you up.) Apparently my high school boyfriend doesn't exist either.

There are 710 of me but only 5 of me with my original last name.

When I first got my current last name I had all these people calling me from Texas asking me strange questions. Then the police stopped by my apartment. Apparently one of "me" was wanted in Texas. They took one look at me and knew I wasn't the one who had been involved in criminal behavior as far back as 1972. I was only 6 years old then!

According to this, I don't exist either. Does that mean I don't have to go to work tomorrow?

This is my favorite line: More than 99.9 percent of people with the first name Rebekah are female. Really? There are parents out there mean enough to name their sons, Rebekah?

My mom really doesn't exist, her first name doesn't even come up since it's so unusual.

There are apparently several million people with my same first name, almost 58,000 people with my same last name, and 710 people with the same combination.

My step dad has a really common first and last name, and there happens to be another man who goes to our dentist with his name! He got an appointment reminder phone call that was meant for the other guy. (Pat figured it out because he wasn't due in for a few months...lol)

168,638 people with my first name (not Lucy)
0 with my last name (that's stupid. I can name a dozen easily!) (oh, and I found 11 on Facebook that I don't even know!)
and 0 with both.

I don't think this is very accurate. There are zero people with my married name (hello! me!) and zero with my married last name (there are at least five of us - father in law made his own name when he immigrated to the US). However, there are three of my maiden name, and that is true! According to google, one is a real estate agent and breeds dogs, and the other is a teacher and runs marathons. The power of the internet!

Apparently there are 1,296 people in the US with my super common name

I tried running a few of my friends' less common names through this and I often got the answer of zero. Oh well.

There are 4 people with my name in the US.

What I found very amusing though is the fact that there are more people with the last name "Dingus" than with my last name. Man, that would suck, being named Dingus.

My names were soooo common. It makes me wonder what kind of beautiful, exotic first names some of you have when you say there is no one else with your name.
