I do not exist in the UK, nor does my surname.

Guess I still know all 6 people in the world who have my family name.

Not a single person with my full name. But there are 145 folks with my last name, and 2 with my mother's maiden name.

My real name is shared with 6 others, but the name I actually use (which is a perfectly normal first name) doesn't exist.

There are 10 of me. Actually, I am surprised it's not more considering my last name is originally British

24 of my full name, 13 of my shortened name.

Although 1 of those 13 is the producer of QI/Hitchhikers/many awesome things.

3 with the same spelling in the UK... 6 with a different spelling.

Which is odd. I personally know more than 3 of "us" in the U.S. I used to live a mile from one of them. (no relation)

There are fourteen "pretenders" in the UK gallivanting around with the chosen form of my first name (Max). There are zero that use my full first name.

I thought I'd find one, since my surname is fairly British, but weirdly, I didn't.

There are 28 of me, I'm honestly surprised. I kinda expected there to be more Jordans in the UK.

I guess it's more of a North American name.

Apparently only 38 people with my last name.

On howmanyofme.com I got 1 result.

There seems to be 43 of me in the United States only one more than in the UK. Considering that my paternal grandfather was born in the UK this is not surprising.

One of my full name in the UK, one of my first, more formal nickname, and 0 of my exclusive, good friends only nickname.

One of my full name in the US (me), one of my first nickname, and one of my second nickname, all me.

That's all including my last name, which, let's face it, E then I? Not surprised.

Also, I have serious doubts about the accuracy of these numbers.

This is always first and last only, even though I no longer go by just my first and last name in almost any context.

My Name: 0
My Name Anglicized (Translation 1): 13
My Name Anglicized (Translation 2): 3

Here's where things get a little weird:

My dad's name: 0
My dad's name Anglicized 1: 13
My dad's name Anglicized 2: 1

Oddly enough, my brother's anglicized names are wildly more common than my dad's and mine, having 134 occurrences of translation 1 and 23 of translation 2.

Dear God, I'm so...COMMON...

Funny thing, I got this comparison:

"...if you had that many Playstation 3 Slims they would weigh 5.80 tonnes thats heavier than 16,605 Coke Cans"

That's WAY more than 3 PS3s...

Using my full name, there's eight of me. Oddly, the shortened form doesn't change that number. Also, there's only around four thousand people with my surname which is somewhat low given how common it is.

61 with my first name in the UK. And 3 with my last name. None with the combo of the 2.
There's also none in the US with the combination. 158 with my last name and 1558 or fewer with my first name. (And those 158 with my last name are very likely directly related to my family, given the history we know)

There are 96 people in the UK with the same first and last name as me; as for legal full name, the website does not allow for middle names.

Kinda surprised as while my surname is as common as dirt (about a quarter MILLION Brits with it "if you had that many Playstation 3 Slims they would weigh 794.43 tonnes thats {sic} heavier than 107 Male African Elephants", the first name is rather unusual (only seventeen thousand - 7 Male African Elephants).
