What's in a Name?

211
people with my name
in the U.S.A.

How many have your name?

According to this website, there are 211 people that share my full name (and they probably all have poor credit ratings!) We once got security called on us when we trying to pay with a check in JC Penney because "I" was on their list of bad check people. Only after the security officer checked our ID and confirmed our address were we allowed to pay and leave. "Troy" is not a common name (until High School Musical came out), but even fewer "Sanders" with that name. I hope all of these 210 people live somewhere else.

I've tried this before, just imagine living with the last name on Harris, even my least common kids name was found 100 times. Of course poosr Mike had like 11,000 and even I had about 3000 . . . but I guess all you need is ONE bad credit person and there may as well be 11000 with your name.

So there are 0 of me. I find that odd because the SF clinic billed me for invitro fertilization... TWICE...and said "oops, the person who had it done has a very SIMILAR name". Ya, well...not exactly the same and did you ever think to check birthdates! Anyway, No invitro for me and I'm still as unique as I'd always hoped to be. No one running around messing up my name (I hope).

There are 1,158 of me, but Kimberly will be relieved to know there's only 33 Lukes, 55 Claires, and 35 Gwens.
