There's this fun website where you can put in your name and it tells you exactly how many people in the U.S. have the same name as you. Check it out:

2425.

And thanks to the prompt thing, I just realised that Hans is an abbreviated form of Johannes. I'm so very slow sometimes. ^^

907 No wonder myname.com got taken already! Surprising there are so many really, it isn't even an American sounding name (being English).

And like all of them are Polish Americans :D :P

And as for my own name:

There are 1 or fewer people in the U.S. named ***

# There are 23,183 people in the U.S. with the first name Magdalena.
# Statistically the 1219th most popular first name.

* There are 306 people in the U.S. with the last name ***.
* Statistically the 68782nd most popular last name.

I saw this site once. Yesterday I was checking how many people in my own country have my last name - it turns out that there are not much more than 800 of them but I think the number of the people with my last name in Poland is bigger - I must check it on another site too. My last name is not popular but I wouldn't call it uncommon either - just so-so, a normal last name which doesn't sound anything out of the ordinary but it just isn't common - it occupies the "rare" end of the "common" spectrum. I never knew any person with my last name, I think I saw a small mention on someone having it on TV maybe two times in my life. I don't know my father's side of the family so I don't know in person anyone with my surname.

I also checked out of curiosity Michael Jackson which is, after all, a very popular first and last name and the result is as follows:
There are 10,079 people in the U.S. named Michael Jackson.

And when I typed Spellit, for fun, the result is the same.

My form of name is rare, but if I use more international...

There are 576,486 people in the U.S. with the first name Catherine.
Statistically the 92nd most popular first name.
More than 99.9 percent of people with the first name Catherine are female.


Adding all Katherines, Kates, Katrinas and Katjas, it is really popular. But it's obvious.

I'm not American.
From other site, by last name:
Poland: sorry, we don't know (great, anonymous is priceless!)
Germany: 738
Austria: 22
Switzerland: 2


EDIT: Ehehehe, widzę że cała polska ekipa się tu właśnie pojawiła :lol:

One or fewer.

My surname is apparently the 742nd most popular one in the US, so that's... something.

There are 1, 287 434 people in the US with my first/christian name, the 23rd most popular first/christian name, and 249 people with my maiden name...but there is only one person in the US with both. Perhaps we're related! :P
