    2 most common last name in the united states and my first name is Amy. I'm sure it's not very unique.

    I wanted to use my usual username "peach sky", but it was already taken. So I used punkyrachel instead. I hate my 1st name because it is way too common. I had 11 Rachel's in my graduating class, very confusing.

    My first name is actually Magdalen, which is moderately rare because it's not Magdalene or Magdalena as usual.

    My first name isn't common at all, I think I've only heard of one or 2 others, it's Julene.
    My last name is not overly common, but you do hear it. I'll give you a clue, an actor has the same last name as I do.

    Not common at all. So uncommon that people really avoid trying to pronounce it mainly because they don't know how to.

    Same boat.

    0.004% of females in the US have my first name.

    #16 most common last name

    0.273% of last names in the US for my last name..

    0.001% of last names in the US maiden name.. last name.

    16 of me in the us.... and I'm the only one w/ my maiden name.

    13,145 of my husbands name..

    So, I guess my birth name is pretty uncommon.

    My nickname is Mickey, or just Mick, because almost nobody ever pronounces my real name correctly - Michele - Italian version of Michael. It's pronounced like Me-kay-el. I'll bet you can guess how most people want to say it.

    According to the how many of me web site -
    There are fewer than 1,584 people in the U.S. with the same first name.

    There are fewer than 118 people in the U.S. with the same last name.

    There are 1 or fewer people in the U.S. with the same first and last name.



    I'm surprised that many people with my last name, it's absolutely unique and I have only 3 relatives with this last name in the USA. I wonder who those other 114 people are...

    my username isn't common at all
    my real name is common, the spelling of it though is a little less common
    my first name is Sara, its often been mis-spelled as Sarah, and there are more Sarah(s) than Sara(s)
    my last name is pretty common, but not so much among white people seriously its more common among black people

    On these forums, I'm pretty sure neither my first name nor my last name are common.
    Where I live, though, my first name is pretty common.
    My first name's Mieke.

    IRL, more common than I thought. I remember looking up my name on a wedding registry and being appalled at how many me's are out there; both first & last name. On MFP, unique because I'm using an actual name.
