    There are only 7 other people in the world with my first name, and no one with my first and last.
    I love the uniqueness, but hate spelling it all the time.

    Hit us with it then?

    It it often mistaken as Lawrence.

    First name is very common, most likely top 10.
    Last name is not common at all, there isn't anyone in the US that has the same last name as me and isn't related

    No known person in the world has the same first and last name combination as I have.

    Me too - there is definitely only one of me!

    Username isn't that uncommon thanks to simpsons.

    My first name is a very common one in the UK.
    My second name is a very common one in Botswana.
    My surname is pretty unique with only one other person in the world (my mum) sharing it.

    My last names (yes two) are both very uncommon. One pops up in the Philippines (with which I have no common ancestory) but is likely from Roumania or Yugoslavia and means "furrow" or "tea kettle". The other last name is Basque. Combined with a rarish first name which, in it's Spanish version is not really used in English -- well, I use the variant names in different countries because most people mispronounce something.

    i think if I ever publish a book with my full name, most of my friends would not know it was from me. C'est la vie.

    According to namestatistics.com, my last name "is the #6665 most common last name... Around 5000 people have" my last name. My first name, though, seems pretty unique. namestatistics.com says "RINDA is a very rare female first name."
    Very few females in the US have my first name, and according to a couple of other sites, it hasn't been used since 1885, which could have been my great-grandmother. I'm told I'm named after her.

    LOL, I just put my last name into that and it couldn't even give me a statistic. It just said:

    "_______ is a very rare last name
    Very few last names in the US are _________
    Be proud of your unique last name!"

    Ironic considering I'll be taking my husband's name soon and it's apparently the #4 most common last name in the US. Haha.

    "Becca" was also apparently quite popular the year I was born, or at least where I grew up. There was ALWAYS at least one other Becca in every class I had in school!

    Greeks too! Sooooo many cousins with the same name. We usually have to throw in middle names or something to differentiate lol

    It said the same thing for mine, lol. I actually did my husband's name and it said his first name is very rare, too. His name is David. U.U So, I don't trust that site now, lol.

    OK, so I tried whitepages.com and is says that as of February 2011, there are only 782 other people in the U.S. that have my first name, and 4,761 people in the U.S. that have my last name, for 2011. Actual statistics, and it even gives a meaning and origin for some. Mine's English.
