How popular are you?

alternateorg on June 27, 2001

Or, rather, how popular is your last name? Search and find out. Mine is number 14,666 out of 55,000. So is it a coincidence that my parents’ address contains the numer ‘4666?’ I think not. [Via Timothompson.com]

    Mine is #2,196. How lame is that? I did type my brother-in-law’s name in and it isn’t even in the top 55,000. Nice — I am unique by association 😉

    I am not unique??? with a name like Tai Ram Kahn you would think I would be rare… but no;

    CHECK IT: kahn is surname number 2373 in the USA. However you are the only one with that name of the 10581 visitors of this web page.

    I beat you all: #121. Add that to my first name, and I’m about as common as dirt.
