Poll: How common is your name?

[Angry Camel]

For some reason, Ryan was a very popular name in the Philippines in 2005. It was also the most popular first name in Scotland for the 90's. Most times I hear it elsewhere, it's a surname.

 

[MrMixelPixel]

Fairly rare...

Especially since I went on the internet and killed everyone with my name via a death note. >

(Mostly Facebook people... so I could get a picture... >>)

Callum is a Scottish name, I don't know many people with my name where I live, so I guess uncommon. My last name however is Jackson, which is a fairly common last name. I know a lot more people with Jackson in their name than Callum.

 

[Aetera]

My first name, Kristin, is the 397th most popular first name. My last name is the 7631st most popular. One other person in the US has the exact same name as me. This is according to How Many of Me.

 

[chstens]

Christoffer is common enough over here that I meet people with that name every now and then. But rare enough so that whenever I hear someone say it, I almost automatically turn to face that person, or say "Yes?"

 

[kenethovnorge]

In the last year I've changed it, but my original first and last name felt so common, especially together, it felt like an alias; which was, Kenneth Smith.

 

[Sikratua]

There are 208 people in the United States with my full name.

 

[Romidude]

Well my name actually is Romi, it's an adaptation of an already butchered translation from a dialect of Arabic. It's sorta part of being half Arab :s

 

[Darby]

Darby. 'Nuff said.

 

[Trivun]

As far as I'm aware, I'm the only person in the UK with the name Trivun Luzaic, though I don't know how common it is in Serbia, where the name comes from (fun fact - I've never even been to Serbia, I'm only called it after my late granddad who came from there to the UK years before I was born...). So yeah, I'd say my name is unique to some degree (if that makes sense), unless it turns out to be a common combination in Serbia. Trivun apparently means Trevor anyway, according to my dad, though a Google search has yet to confirm this...

 

[DazBurger]

Rasmus, very common in Denmark, not seen anywhere else.

 

[Robot n.o 9124791234]

Name: John. yup, really goddamn common.

 

[Jadak]

According to the "How Many of Me" site, 7th most common first name, 6th most common last time.

So overall, I'd say pretty damn common.

 

[lettucethesallad]

Ellika tends to raise a few eyebrows wherever I go. It's a German name, and apparently not too uncommon in the Middle East, but I'm yet to actually meet someone who has the same name as I do.

Made playing Prince of Persia rather awkward, I couldn't get my head around people yelling my name all the time.

 

[CupboardNinja]

Hmm, Nikita, bet that's pretty common in Russia, I know the soviet leader was named Nikita Khrushchev, but here in America? It'd be lucky if I met another Nikita my whole life.

 

[Polaris19]

1,831st most popular name in the states. So I'd say I have a fairly unique name.

 

[DanielBrown]

Fairly-Very common I guess. It's very seldom I meet people with the same name though...
It's Daniel, for those that were wondering!

 

[lSHaDoW-FoXl]

Joshua
Kyle
Targett

Right, both my middle and first name are pretty common meanwhile my last name made my life suck just a tad. My first two names are kind of awesome though so I guess I don't mind my last name too much.

 

[Quijiboh]

I have never met or even heard of a single other person named Collin in my entire life.
I've lived in the USA all my life, so I have no idea about it's rarity outside of America.

Colin/Collin's a pretty common name here in the British Isles, particularly in the Gaelic parts like Scotland and Ireland.

My first name, 'Nick', comes up fairly frequently. Hell, the deputy prime minister has my name. Surname, 'Devine', doesn't really occur very much outside of areas where there's a fair amount of Irish people (it's an Irish name).

 

[Scarecrow]

I would tell you my name...but I'm afraid I suspect one of you of being Kira. But trust me when I say it's very rare.
