There are a mere 69 people with my name in the US. This reminds me of a British guy called Dave Gorman, who travelled the world looking for other Dave Gormans. That'd be a great thing to do.

Edit: Incidentally, anyone in the UK, can check how unique they are at this website. My name's more popular in the UK with 267 sharing my full name.

oh well, it is not 100% accurate. I tried an ex-girlfriend's name (she is a II as in her mother has the same name). It said:

There is 1 person in the U.S. named ....

Anyway, 152,984 in the US with my first name and 350,963 with my last name. 179 with both my first and last name..
