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

    Cool, so YOU are totally off the grid? Awesome, how'd you do it and still be able to do normal things socially like post here?

    without going into a lot of detail: worm holes.

    According to the white pages, there are 21 people listed with my name. 9 in Texas, 8 in California, 2 in Nevada, 1 in Mississippi and 1 in New Mexico. My first name is Italian from the latin family name Aemilius and was the 1,127th most popular name in the U.S. for 2011.

    Somehow I don't feel it's all that popular...

    My last name is a Spanish variant of the name Tobar and was the 1,661st most popular name in the U.S. for 2011.

    My first name Danielle is pretty common. My last name is pretty average, I can find people with my last name in most cities. There is an author with my same name. My fiances last name is really uncommon in the US; there are 8 people with it, soon to be 9 with me.

    I don't see too many people with the name Shanna {SH-Anna]
    Apparently this is difficult for ppl to pronounce :huh: And I can't find my name on things like mugs; Shana, Shawna, Shane....no Shanna....couple places I have found my name


    shanna_the_she-devil_4.jpg

    Shanna the She-Devil is a fictional jungle adventuress in comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Carole Seuling and penciler George Tuska, she made her first appearance in Shanna the She-Devil #1 (Dec. 1972) and was ranked 53rd in Comics Buyer's Guide's "100 Sexiest Women in Comics" list

    AND

    9780380008988.jpg

    A pact is sealed in secret behind the foreboding walls of Newgate Prison. In return for a night of unparalleled pleasure, a dashing condemned criminal consents to wed a beautiful heiress, thereby rescuing her with his name from an impending and abhorred arranged union. But in the fading echoes of hollow wedding vows, a solemn promise is broken, as a sensuous free spirit takes flight to a lush Caribbean paradise, abandoning the stranger she married to face the gallows unfulfilled.

    But Ruark Beauchamp's destiny is now eternally intertwined with that of the tempestuous, intoxicating Shanna. He will be free . . . and he will find her. For no iron ever forged can imprison his resolute passion. And no hangman's noose will deny Ruark the ecstasy that is rightfully his.


    FINALLY....one of my favorites

    I know when I was a child my name seemed common.

    I am not so sure anymore.

    And it is pretty easy to guess with my username haha.

    Since I graduated high school with about 4 other Erins...it's pretty damn common. Plus I know there's at least 5 or so Erins here on MFP.

    But I'll say that there are a lot of different spellings, so at least there's that...

    As far as my first/last combo? As far as I know, I'm the only one....

    I believe I am the only jenn_a_bean on mfp making my username uncommon, however; my real name -Jennifer is quite common. Jennifer was 10th on the list of popular names the year I was born. Lisa was the most popular.

    I think the only reason I wasn't named Lisa is because my mom was a huge Jennifer Jones fan and named me after her....

    My name - Karen - peaked in popularity about 1960 to the #3 most favored name for girls. It's nowhere near as popular or common for girls born in recent decades.

    Everyone I meet with my name or variations of it are in my age group.

    @Shanna...I never find my name on anything. As a kid I always wanted one of those little license plates with my name on it...could never find one of those either.

    If you ever see something with the name "Emilio"...let me know! :)

    Me too. I am the only me.

    I've never met another person with my same first name either.

    Rarely do people get the spelling of my name right - it's Barbra, like Streisand. Most people have the extra 'a' in there - Barbara.

    On MFP. I reckon that the most common name on here is ......

    Mommy, Momma

    I see that a lot, too! lol! I haven't seen many Rogues, though. Maybe I'm kinda unique. :-)

    My real name, however, has not been in the top 100 baby names, according to the Social Security Administration, since 1941. At it's MOST popular, it was ranked 39 and that was in the 1920's. From 1986-2007, it wasn't even in the top 1,000. :-P

    And that is why I prefer Rogue. :-)

    So far, in my 22 years of life, I've only met four others with the same name as I. It's not common I guess. But famous in that old Disney movie, Halloween Town. :)

    I wasn't the only Elaine in my class, but it's not a common name now. Per Google, the name peaked in popularity in the 1940's and 50's. My last name is quite common in New England and Nova Scotia, but our spelling is rather unique.

    my name sucks and it's probably the most common spanish name ever. I would have preferred Andres or Alejandro...

    According to Google, I am the only one in the US (ya right) with my first and last name. I don't run into too many other Crystals though. At least not ones that spell it normally..

    I'd like to think that my MFP name is pretty unique lol...as for my real name...I don't know too many African Americans named Nanci with an 'i' so I guess that makes me pretty special :)

    I do see Emma a lot now! When I named my daughter, hardly saw anything with her name and within a year, I started seeing her name EVERYWHERE....Still no Shanna's hahaha

    It's funny b/c if people only hear my name, they assume I'm either a red-headed Irish woman (which I am part Irish but no)
    OR
    I'm black....had a friend that moved to a bigger city when I was kid and when I went to visit her one time, her friends looked at me all funny..."we thought she was black - I mean her name is Shanna....that's a black girl's name" bahahaha

    I'd be happy with a coffe mug still...haha Of course I did get the MOM one....

    I so remember that movie....wasn't her name Marnie??

    I believe JoJo may be somewhat common here (or other places where a screenname is used)...but my real name, upon looking it up never even topped the top 200 names used in the country...so I reckon it is not common at all...especially where I am from.
