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

    Yes, Marnie. :)

    Season 4 of True Blood had a Marnie as well hahaha

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

    I get this alot.

    I like to think Icelandic Saga is pretty unique for my name here. However my real name Tara is pretty common. In America at least :) My little sis got the cool name Siobhan. My mom has a slight obsession with Ireland lol

    Never would have guessed

    Funny man ;)

    My given first name, Maggie, is very rare in the states like. %. 005 people have it, haha.
    Oddly, my real first name, Joyce is a lot more common. Such an old lady's name! It flows nicely with my middle name that became pretty trendy about 20 years ago (actually, I was named after an old lady)
    My married name is very uncommon in the states. Funny, there are 2 of us in town.. He lives less than 2 miles away.
    My maiden name is super common. Much easier as a signature, though!

    My first name is fairly famous in educational establishments but is almost never used as a first name. Middle name is run of the mill, last name is the most common in the world (there are a whole bunch of Chinese, and "Smith" aint got nothin' on our last name's frequency).

    My name is pretty generic and easy to pronounce, but I never went to school with anyone with the same first name as me. As an adult I've met others with my name. Not many though, less than 10 I'd say.

    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.

    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

    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.
