I was not wondering.
But now I am troubled.
Under my actual name, there are fully 373 of me. And while I thought I had a rather manly Viking sort of first name, apparently 0.37 percent of people having it are women.
Women.
I'm so disturbed.
Meanwhile my barely pseudonymous screen name is shared by only 23 people. And only 0.01 percent of women go by the first name 'Jake.'
And I really want to meet her. |

Including the common variants of my first name spelling (Jeffrey (mine), Jeffery, Jefferson, Geoffrey), there are 632 people in the US with my name.
Well, as they say in Highlander, "There can be only one." Time to get to work.
This guy made a movie out of looking for the people he found on Google that shared his name. |

No one has my name. No one.
Me too. Not even me, apparently. |

No one has my name. No one.
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions.
Q: Why isn't my name on the list?
The list of names from the census bureau isn't complete. For privacy reasons, names with relatively few responses were not included in the list. We used this data to create this site. Our site can only be as good as the data we have to work with.
* Around 1 out of every 10 people will have a last name not on the list.
* Around 1 out of every 10 people will have a first name not on the list.
Using the same statistical fallacy this site is known for, that means about 81% of people will have both names on the list. In a mathematical coup our scientists have determined from this information that about 19% of people will have either one or both names missing from the list. |

| Can't be too accurate. Says no one w/ my surname. But, it's obviously missing my dad, stepmom, mom, brother and two sisters. |

It says that for privacy reasons, less common surnames are not included. |

| It said there is only 1 person with my name, but I know that there is another "me" out there -- she's a minister and I've gotten her mail before. |
