    Yeah, my name is Jennifer, my best friend's name is Jennifer, I have a cousin who is named Jennifer, my baby sister's best friend growing up was named Jennifer. I don't think for a girl you get any more common than that in my age bracket. I was never the only Jennifer in any class all throughout school.

    There are only about 1500 people in the US with my first name...Kimberlynn

    my last name, there are only 118

    I'm the only one with both of them together :)

    As for myfitnesspal, my name is shortened version of my first name along with my birthdate...doubt it would be too common

    At school, from 1st to 4th grade, we were 8 in a class of 28 with the same first name... that's how common...
    Wish I could change it today...

    Fairly common in the US (where I'm from), not common at all in Sweden (where I live). It's cool, because I can just use Alison as my user name on Swedish websites, it's never already taken.

    My first name is mostly used as a middle name - Lynn. Don't hear it very much as a first name. And with all the different spellings, I haven't met anyone else who spells it without an "e" at the end with the 2 "n"s. Usually see it Lyn or Lynne.

    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

    Third post on this thread has my same name.. Tara.

    Both my last name and first name are uncommon. Last name is extremely rare, first name a bit more common but practically unheard of. I have never met another person with my first name in my entire life, and I'm 41. I met one online many years ago who lives in Canada, and she started a facebook group for people with our name. It has about 20ish members now and we live all over the globe and range in ages from teens to 60s. And we were all named after a family member! Like a grandmother or aunt or cousin.

    There are 57 people in the USA with my name (wasn't able to check including my middle name). There is a woman in my organisation with the same name as me but with an extra "e" in her surname!

    Obviously not common enough because I didn't have to put a number next to it.

    My first name, not Lucy, was in the top 10 when I was born.
    My maiden name was a last name shared with a popular TV couple. So I always got, " You mean like..." Yes, I'm related to fictional characters. :noway:
    My married name was Americanized when my husbands grandmother came to America. Its a common name with an uncommon spelling.

    My name is so uncommon that if you google me, I'm the only person who comes up.

    I work with a Lynn , same spelling as you, you need to come to North London :)

    I share my first name with the Queen here, so pretty common really.
    My surname's before and after marriage are both foreign and hard to pronounce and spell so a bit harder to find. Altho I share my full name with a few in the US, I think in the UK it may still be just me.

    My MFP name is rare since it's really all of my kid's first initial.
    My real name is common but the spelling is different and in my 36 years never met someone with the same spelling.

    MY first name was the most popular girl name in the year I was born and has remained in the top 20 most of ym life. However if you have my last name you are either related to me (somehow) or your a fictional family from a childrens series
