How Many In US Share Your Name
There are 321,829,886 people in the United States and everyone of them have names. Unlike fingerprints, few can claim to own a unique moniker (unless you're my brother, Lamar Adcox).
How Many of Me? is a website that allows you to search a database that shows you how many people share your exact name. There are 6 Kimberly Adcoxs and Shane Kinders (including Monk and myself) in the US and 80 Kimberly Madisons. There are 189 Scott Shepherds. Just-A-Buck Justin shares his name with 462 other Justin Woods.
According to the website, here are some suggestions based upon what other people are searching for:
- Your name: The first suggestion is right in the site name. How many people have your name?
- Relatives: Search through your family tree. Search the names of your parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents, or anyone else related to you.
- Nicknames: Does your name not have many (or any) results? If you're using a shortened form of your name (like Will, or Bill), you may get fewer results than you expect. Try using your full name (such as William).
- Baby Names: Is little Junior on the way and you want to make sure he (or she) isn't stuck with the same name as 5 other kids when he gets to preschool? Try the names out here, see how many results you get.
- Famous people: We've got an extensive list, try movie stars, sports heroes, political, scientific, or historic figures. We've got some of each in there.
Let us know how many of YOU there are.
