The Name Game


HOW MANY OF ME.COM is a fun website. I discovered it flipping through the current issue of Parenting magazine and then logged on to see just how generic Buby & Co. is. The site gives you the exact number of people in the U.S. who share your first name, last name or both. There are 8,732 women who share my full name, a whopping 30,759 with Dada's signature, and only 94 with Buby's real first and last name. Phew.

When I was prego for Buby, I used the Social Security Administration website to see where my favorite names fell on the list of most popular. But their data is several years old and doesn't give you as much detail. This is cool.

This was fun! There are 10 people with my name, 33 with Jon's, and 20 with Grace's name. (I've already heard about 2 of the people with my name, so that means I have 7 more to go...)

Really, only 10? That's amazing! Makes me feel so common :(
