According to that site, my son doesn't exist.

captainbarnacle · 10/03/2011 13:10

It's rubbish! Says there's only one with my first name...

Don't let the pedants see Shock

Wouldn't trust any business who made such a shoddy basic error.

jimswifein1964 · 10/03/2011 13:19

My first thought too, shoddy Shock

Mama - is he over 18?

MamaLazarou · 10/03/2011 13:27

No, he is one! Is it only adults, then?

Finessa · 10/03/2011 13:47

Hi, I agree they can't spell - apparently it was originally supposed to be called Your R Not Me which is no better imo!

However, did you scroll down to look at the trend graphs for first names? They're really interesting, but sadly only for over 18s.

I keep putting in names from school and they all peak at 40! (I'm 39) I'm talking about names like Jason, Sarah, Lisa, Julie. We had FIVE Jasons in our class at one point Hmm

You can also look up the top ten overall names beginning with any letter which could help if you're looking for a names that's unusual now.

For example, putting in s* gives
Susan, Stephen, Sarah, Steven, Simon, Sandra, Sheila, Sharon, Stuart, Samantha.

Not many names I like here, although I would consider Simon, Stuart and Samantha.

I must get out more Wink

littlepigshavebigears · 10/03/2011 13:49

ds2 doesn't exist, apparently HmmGrin

Finessa · 10/03/2011 13:50

BaggedandTagged · 10/03/2011 14:08

I like the angry squirrel

Carrotsandcelery · 10/03/2011 14:10

There are no adult's with my dc's names. There are 7 of me. I may have to search fb now and see if they are on it!

Finessa · 10/03/2011 14:22

Names ending in y enter y
Names ending in ly enter ly
Names beginning with J enter j
Names beginning with Ja enter ja

EmmaBGoode · 10/03/2011 14:25

Wow Carrotsandcelery, you and your DC's must have very unusual names. Actually, there are 7 people with my first name (Emma is my middle name) but I have never met another. Have you met anyone with your name before?

Helzapoppin · 10/03/2011 14:27

There are only 16 people with my daughter's first name (and she's related to at least 6 of them!)

It's not that weird a name!

MoonGirl1981 · 10/03/2011 14:37

22 people with my first name. :(

Damn! I thought I was unique!

Carrotsandcelery · 10/03/2011 14:38

I have never met anyone with my name. My first name is not unusual but my surname is. I searched fb and there was one other person with my name and she lived where my dh grew up Shock. It felt a bit weird looking at a photo of her. I have to admit I didn't feel friendly Shock Shock and I am a friendly person generally!
I didn't think my dcs had unusual names (they don't share my surname) but maybe I am wrong.
Has anyone met anyone with the same name as them?

DooinMeCleanin · 10/03/2011 14:40

There is no-one who has dd1's first name. Which is odd as last time I checked she did exist Hmm

Carrotsandcelery · 10/03/2011 14:42

I don't think it goes below 18 years - that threw me to begin with as well.

fifi25 · 10/03/2011 15:37

40 people with my full name, 79927 with my 1st name and, 24899 with my surname

psiloveyou · 10/03/2011 16:06

I am unique Grin

MrsBloomingTroll · 10/03/2011 18:20

3 people with my married name, which I'd already figured out from Facebook...but no one else with my maiden name .

ruddynorah · 10/03/2011 18:27

3 people with my maiden name, that's my dad, sister and step mum.
