    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!

    My daughter's name isn't in there for either female or male. Guess it's kinda rare no matter what. Her name is Remy.

    edit to add that my name was the #16 most common name: Sandra

    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:

    DORIAN is the #2165 most common female first name
    0.002% of females in the US are named DORIAN.
    Around 2450 US females are named DORIAN!

    My daughter's name is ranked #396 and my son's name is ranked #173 (but I bet most of the people with my son's name are significantly older than my son). My husband's first name didn't even have enough to have a number.

    Our last name is quite rare, with only 0.0005%, or ~1250, with that last name.

    Erika- #298

    Lynne- #378

    However... My real name is Erikalynne (all one word, no spaces, no hyphen):

    "ERIKALYNNE is a very rare female first name

    Very few female first names in the US are ERIKALYNNE

    Be proud of your unique first name!"

    Go me? lol. It doesn't even have a # :P

    First: 369
    Second: 46165

    However if you found stats for Ireland....I imagine the outcome would be somewhat different. Both my first & second name derive from Ireland.

    LARA is #695. One thing I have noticed though is most people I meet in the States pronounce it Laura and that bugs me to no end. That never happened in England! I don't get it, you don't call Cara Caura, or Zara Zaura. *mini rants * :P

    My name is #29 most common currently but I'm pretty sure it was a lot higher on the list when I was born in the mid 70's

    It annoys me that I know two Laras who DO pronounce it Laura. I always wonder WHY! So weird. LARA is a whole different name in my opinion.

    It also annoys me when Rachelles pronounce their name Rachel. I just don't get it. Rachelle would be more like Rochelle, right??
