Poll: How common is your name?

[Distorted Stu]

I only know of 2 other people with my name. So i would say pretty rare (for this area anyway, i know the further down south you go the more often you hear it)

 

[Vault Citizen]

Gareth Evans is the welsh equivalent of John Smith.

 

[Smooth Operator]

Well I was under the impression my name is really rare until I went to university where 10 guys in my class and 3 teachers had the same bloody one... that was fucking depressing.

 

[ReaperGrimm]

Daniel common i guess

 

[GraveeKing]

I don't see as many Tobias/Toby's around as I used to, so I within reason, not-so common but not really rare either.

 

[concrete89]

There are 1559 people with the name Love in the U.s, But over there it seems to be a female name.
Weird, but also understandable.
That said, it's rather uncommon in Sweden

 

[Astoria]

Well twice I have been a class where there were four Sams. Yeah my name's very common.

 

[Artina89]

My first name is Gemma, and I only know one other person that shares my name, but her's is spelt Jemma. As far as I am aware, the way my given name is spelt is fairly uncommon, but I don't really know. Most of my friends call me "York" or "Yorkie" because of my accent, so most of the time I am called one of those two things so it feels a bit weird when someone calls me by my name.

 

[Kae]

Afonso is a fairly rare name, even with our first king being named Afonso. I'm portuguese by the way. =)

Are you sure? I mean I know like at least 20 people named Alfonso, maybe that name is more common in Mèxico we call almost all of them Poncho.
I know of 1 person with my name and that's it, my name is XXXXXX I'd say pretty rare nowadays I think it's XXXXXX.

 

[Owlslayer]

Um, well my name(Taavi) is fairly popular in my country, but my country is rather small. But I think that Finnish people use the name, too, but not sure.
Either way, i can't really imagine being a lot of Taavis in the whole world, just in my country.

 

[SextusMaximus]

Benedict. Rare-ish? Plenty of Benjamin's though, and I tend to just go by Ben.

Also, Maverick is a badass name.

 

[Cazza]

Very Rare. I once saw some mail addressed to a person with my name (might have been a last name). That's about it. My first name is normally a last name and still that is rare. people reading a role for a class swap my names around.

 

[DonMartin]

Martin's kind of common, isn't it?

I have a multitude of nicknames that separate me from other Martins, though.

 

[SeksEin]

4th most common first name in the US... "2 or fewer" with my first and surname. I must find them... There can be only one!

 

[Latinidiot]

Joel is a pretty wellknown but not much used name.

 

[Russian_Assassin]

I have no idea what my name is in English speaking countries. In my passport it say Ilya (for all your Christian folks, I believe there was a prophet with that name, wandered the dessert for 40 days or something.

 

[SuperToaster]

My name is Ozzy, I don't know how rare it is...

 

[Raeonn]

Fairly common if you count the various ways to use Steve.

 

[LesCorbeaux]

Fairly rare I would say for my first name, but growing in popularity thanks to a certain disney show. I knew two other people with my name. My last name is extremely rare though.

 

[putowtin]

first name is 80th most popular in america (and I'm British!) but surname well that's special!
