    My name is Jennifer so of course it was ranked #1 from 1982 to 1984 and as of 2012 it is now ranked #163. Definitely wanted to change my name as I was growing up. There were so many Jennifer's in my graduating class. My last job I had, I worked with 3 other Jennifer's. Uggghhh! Be original people!I tried to name my children unique names but my oldest son's name ended up being one of the most popular names. I have 2 sons named Aiden and Toryn and a daughter named Tahllon. Yes that is like the talon's claw. I had to be different and spell it funky. LOL

    As suspected, my maiden name didn't even get a number....that rare. No surprise to me, I was once told that if I ever heard of anyone with my last name, I should know that we were undoubtedly related.

    Robert is #3 - but most roberts are NOT called by that given name.

    I've always been a Bob - #266

    Last name - #19320 1250 people have that last name. And of course one of them doesn't pay his bills and I get the collections calls.

    They RARELY believe me when I tell them it isn't me. Ah well.

    GEMMA is the #1711 most common female first name

    0.003% of females in the US are named GEMMA.

    Around 3675 US females are named GEMMA!

    That is very low! Although the last time I entered the states the lady at passport controlled asked me how to pronounce it as she had not heard my name before in the US, which I did not expect

    When I was born in the UK in the 1970's my name was not very common at all - it has become more so with children born in the 1990's but I don't meet many people at all my age or older than me with my name

    It's only for the US...I have a very British name.

    With you on this one. I'm from the UK - apparently Caroline is a rare name in the US?! The mind boggles :laugh: .. As for surnames I share mine with 1250.

    #338, but it's top ten for the age range I'm in. And I hate that everyone has my name. Hell, my best friend from work has the same one!

    I'm pretty unique... but I'm guessing it's the way I spell my name rather than the name itself :)

    KACEY is the #1893 most common female first name :drinker:

    0.003% of females in the US are named KACEY.

    Sweet - I've never met another person with the same spelling. But now, with Kacey Musgroves (Country Artist), I'm sure there will be more in a few years!

    And my last name doesn't even have a statistic! :laugh:
