Well it's probably not 100% right but this website might give you an idea www.yournotme.com

I think they take info from the census but I'm not sure. It's supposed to show everyone with a specific name in the UK (you can search by first name, or surname, or both).

e.g. there are 40 people with the surname Bastard ... and 23 festive people with the surname Snowman ... I could amuse myself for a while on that site!

If you want to find out how many babies were given a specific name, have a look at the ONS list of all baby names. It lists ALL (well, all those that were used at least twice as a first name) names given a a specific year.

Kdiddy what a fantastic site! I now know that when I get married I will go from being one of 30 to one of a kind!

But the squirrel quotations are freaking me out

Nor does my dd...and apparently there are only 315 people with her name in the whole country
