inspired re. uniqueness of name

[deliakate]

here is a good place to check how popular your dcs' names were in the past. Ds has two middle names, and it seems there has never been another registered with that combination. But christian name + surname... there are thousands of him!

My ds is the only one with his name too!

My ds is also the only one with his name (first, middle and surname) .

Great site!

DD is the only First name + Surname :)

DH is unique, so are DD and DS. There are hundreds and hundreds of me. I must have a great name.

Umm, there are quite alot with my first name, middle name and surname

Unique = unpopular.

There are thousands, if not millions, of records for DD's first name + surname.

Remember though that some of the records will include duplicates - the census records, death records, etc, may well include more than one or two records per individual person.

"Unique = unpopular"

Yes, but do you want to give your child a popular (fashionable) name? I don't. I'd rather give my children classic, less common names so that they aren't one of many in their class/school/life.

No others with DS's combination of 3 x given names + surname.

D'Oh I have just said to DH "Oh look, there is someone else called MyNAme, married to someone else with Yourname, and look, they got married in the same place as us!"

DH said "Did they get married on the same day as us by any chance?..."
