And only 4 of Al.

Boy, they are rare folks! But I thought they said they left out figures with low counts. What do they figure to be low? One? Negitive two??

662,931 for Gregory, though.

If it relies on census names, you'll probably want search with the full versions of names, not the more popular short versions. It is generally the former that goes on documents.

Though Alex is one of the odd ones where you do get a lot of people who are simply Alex and not Alexander. (And, for all I know Greg is a Greg and not a Gregory.)

But this really is a piss-poor system. It, for example, says nobody in the U.S. has the first name of Liam. I personally know three and they are all born and bread Americans. It isn't an uncommon name at all. (Unlike my sister, Arrin, which I still assume is a spelling that resulted from my mom's shock at an unexpected home birth, and also doesn't show up.)

None of me in the states.

....that's cos I'm here, I guess.

My last name isn't *that* uncommon. There are always a couple in the phone book. It's common enough that someone once accidentally picked up our photos back when one had to actually have film developed. And neither they nor my immediate family is related (that we know of) to the well-known music store in Seattle bearing our last name. Bunches came over through Ellis Island. It's apparently a somewhat common name in its country of origin. And yet, it doesn't appear on the site.

There are four in the US with my name. I'm kinda bummed- I thought it was relatively unique. Then I felt sorry for them.

40 people in the US share my name. I'm actually surprised by that.

I'm the only one (in the US), but I'm also a film maker in Germany according to Google

Much like Tiggers; I'm the only one!

I am one of 355(using my full first name Jeffrey not Jeff)....which I find a tad low(I have a fairly common last name). When I was at the DMV a few weeks ago there were 37 people with my same name first and last just in the State of Oregon. I also have to tell people at my doctors office which Jeffrey (middle initial)(last name) I am, using my birth date as there are two of us with the eact same name right down to the period after our middle initial. I just don't think this database is very accurate. How could 1/10 of all the people with my name live in a reletively small state like Oregon?
