People with my name...

I'd be a little more interested if there were options for "how many people in Canada have my name" or, even better, "how many people in the world have my name". But until someone puts up those websites, I live with what I get here.
Turns out there are 186 people with my first and last name in the United States. There are 1,431,356 Elizabeths - is that all? If we added a middle name, what would it come to?
Just how many of me are there and why is that a scary thought?

Date: 2008-10-28 04:01 pm (UTC)Actually the site said there are "1 or fewer" people with my name. So they're not quite sure I exist. Heh.
I have a double, though. Walking around my neighborhood, strangers keep stopping me and asking about my baby. Which I don't have. But they're convinced they know me and that I have a baby.

That amuses me.
As an Elizabeth, I could be lost in the crowd.

I wonder if it may be protections within Census data to avoid disclosing personal information?

This is why I don't spread the name around much. *g*

I also know there is an Australian showjumper with my name. But I doubt any of them has my middle name.
