your real name--is it common?

[enree erzweglle]

Do you have a common name?
Have you googled it along with your city to see what comes up?

There are several people in my city with my same first and last name.
One of them is a reporter for our local paper. My friends make fun of me for that.

But there are several people in my city who have my exact name (first name, middle initial/name, last name).

There's a woman with my exact name buried at the cemetary where I run.

There's a woman with my exact name who runs the same road races that I do, but she's in a different age group.

And I just found out that another woman with my exact name goes to my doctor. I found this out when my doctor called me with her test results. (!)

What about you?

[wavin_goodbye]

not at all common.. at least not on this continent

[teenage dirtbag]

no. none of my names are common. anywhere.

[Freebasser]

Never used to be, but is now.

[voltanapricot]

My first name is more common now due to incresing popularity since the year I was born. Middle name is very common. I've never met/seen anybody else with my surname, so nope.

[Tone Capone]

.......... the cemetary where I run.


:eek: :eek: :eek:

[Chicka B]

My first name is common for older people, my middle name is common, and my last name is common too I've heard it before.

[Loppfessor]

There's so many people with my first and last name....take my dad for example. But seriously my name is very common....damn non-creative Mexicans

[enree erzweglle]

:eek: :eek: :eek:
I always have to resist the urge to lay down on top of it to see if worlds collide.

[Nuzzolese]

My name is very close to that of an actress. Besides that it's only medium common and people often mispell my first name. But more and more people are giving it to their children, often with some atrocious phonetic perversion.

[Yorkshire~Rose]

I googled name and town but no results.

My first name is common now but with different spellings.

My middle name is common.

My surname (married name) is common. My maiden name...a little less common.

What can i say - i'm common as muck it seems! :D

[Bob]

pretty common

[Tone Capone]

I always have to resist the urge to lay down on top of it to see if worlds collide.

They don't collide but, they get real real close. ;)

[Chicka B]

Prudence Ann Smith is your name, right?

No, since there's so many people with my name I'm just gonna say it, Michelle Elizabeth Payne. I know I shouldn't say my name on the internet but I don't care. :D My dad was gonna change his last name to Reitz after his grandfather because he hates his father, so don't make fun of my last name. :o

[redhead]

my first name (Karla) is not that common, except when I was going to school there apparently were a lot of mom's the same year decided to name their girls that...in my 7th grade class there were 4 Karla's and a Kayla...got confusing by times.
when I googled it I of course got a link to a page about the serial killer Karla Homolka.
middle name, pretty common.
last name, pretty common, more so in Ireland, I would think. Dirty Harry had the same last name...

[Chicka B]

Any chance you're father's name is Max Payne?

That's what I was thinking! His name's Mike, pretty close. :D

[HEIRESS]

heck no

[ToucanSpam]

Patrick is not very common.

[pip07]

My dad was gonna change his last name to Reitz after his grandfather because he hates his father

:confused:

[enree erzweglle]

Patrick is not very common.
I grew up in a predominantly Irish neighborhood.
Patrick was buried somewhere in just about every boy's name.
Most boys whose first names were Patrick wound up calling themselves by their middle name, which was usually Daniel or Michael. :)

Mine is Gerald, and I dont want to be Gerald IV.

[enree erzweglle]

Mine is Gerald, and I dont want to be Gerald IV.
I think that's a gorgeous name. And you don't hear it too often.

I know some people from Cuba and they have a dozen or so names between their first and last names.

[ToucanSpam]

....mom? :confused:

[teenage dirtbag]

Patrick is not very common.

i sat next to a kid on the bus whos name was patrick. he stabbed me, threw my cd player on the ground, and almost broke tt5b. so i kicked his scrawney ass and threatned to break his neck. but he did it again, so i threw a knife at his dick.

[bigblu89]

My first name is as common as they get for a guy (Michael).

My last name isn't common at all. Up until I googled my name, I never knew anyone outside of my family that has the same last name.

[enree erzweglle]

....mom? :confused:
son?

[ToucanSpam]

son?
im sorry but you remind me sooooooooo much of my mummy.

[Chicka B]

:confused:

Hehe. :p My dad hates his dad (Dave Payne) and didn't want to have the same last name as him, but he loved his grandfather so he wanted to change his last name to his grandfather's last name which is Reitz. You know what I'm saying? :D

[enree erzweglle]

im sorry but you remind me sooooooooo much of my mummy.
I am such a goddamn maternal icon it scares me.

Will you be my board mom?

[Bob]

[enree erzweglle]

Will you be my board mom?
The stuff dreams are made of for any woman, really.

Oh fuck. Sure, I'll be your board fucking ma.

[enree erzweglle]

Do Bob and I need to meet?

[beastiegirrl101]

My name is common..but not that common. Natalie Wood was my pop's fav actress and she was on TV while my mom was in labor (love with a proper stranger)....my name was supposed to be Jacqueline...but I like Natalie....

[ToucanSpam]

Do Bob and I need to meet?

I recommend it, yes.

[enree erzweglle]

My name is common..but not that common. Natalie Wood was my pop's fav actress and she was on TV while my mom was in labor (love with a proper stranger)....my name was supposed to be Jacqueline...but I like Natalie....
I always wanted to be a Natalie. Jacqueline was a popular name when my sister was born. There were a lot of Jackies in her class. Natalie is nice because you can't really abbreviate it for a girl. It's not like they'll call you Nat or Nate...nice name.

[ToucanSpam]

I love the name Natalie. It comes out so easy and is phoeneticly pleasing.

[enree erzweglle]

I recommend it, yes.
Bob, you take him weekdays. I'll take every other weekend.

[TAL]

I don't think anyone else in the whole world but me has my first name.

AHA HA...I hate it when people call me Nat it makes me think of gnat...my family calls me Nat-Nat...my friends call me Nate...

[beastiegirrl101]

No mother's day gift for me? :D

[ToucanSpam]

No mother's day gift for me? :D
if by gift you mean flaming bags of dog poo flung via catapult from Canada into your home, then yes.


Happy mother's day :mad:


On an unrelated note, I am looking for a new board mom.

[adam_f]

No, my name isn't Lonnie Lynn.

I get it and I really don't care if you do.

[sjp]

yeah i think it is common.

[paul jones]

I think my name is as common as donkey shit

[marsdaddy]

I am so getting shafted in this deal.Bob's gonna get lucky, again?
No, my name isn't Lonnie Lynn.

I get it and I really don't care if you do.I wish I didn't get it, but I read Vibe last month, so I do. I'm street, yo!

Yeah, my first name is really common -- most common name? I used to think my last name wasn't common, but it is. Many immigrants had their names shortened when they immigrated to the US and -- viola -- they got my name. My family name was shortened, too. Assimilation rules!

There is someone with the same name as I who has skipped out on college loans and tax bills. I've gotten collection calls for him. I also used to get collect calls from Japan for him, years ago, at like 3 in the am -- luckily, it was in my party days, so I was probably up already.

[ericlee]

Eric Lee Smith- not common

[CrankItUp!]

Very Strange and uncommon for me ! My real name is Oswald Cobblepot. The only part that I like about my last name is that it has the word "pot" in it . Otherwise , I hate it ! My friends just call me Oz.

[Lindsey_1535]

I know 2 other Lindsey’s oh and some Lindsay’s so I guess it’s common. There are 3 pages of my last name in the phone book. Damn Mennonites.

[QueenAdrock]

Very Strange and uncommon for me ! My real name is Oswald Cobblepot. The only part that I like about my last name is that it has the word "pot" in it . Otherwise , I hate it ! My friends just call me Oz.


Isn't that the same guy from the Goonies?

..wait, that's Chester Copperpot, right? I don't remember anymore:(

Anyways, I'm Diana Lynn. My last name means "field" in Finnish (their last names are geographical usually), so it's not very common. I googled my first and last name and only came up on one John Kerry petition, under a very obscure search engine.

[Lindsey_1535]

[QueenAdrock]

I KNEW I HEARD IT BEFORE!

Thank you, ms. lindsey

[CrankItUp!]

Oh well , so much for my anonymity ! Seriously though, my name is Elliot Spencer ....and I have such sights to show you !

[miss soul fire]

When I googled my first and middle name together I found myself, but recently I've found out there's a girl with my exact same first and second name and she happens to be from my family, a bit distant, but still family.:D

My middle name is quite unique. There's only one family in the entire world with this name.

My first and last name are quite sad (http://www.ecgi.org/members_directory/assets/photos/roberta_romano.jpg).:p

And googling my nickname and last name I found out I'm an italian male model and I got my own (http://www.robyromano.com/)special site!:D

[Victor Baron]

First name: Common
Middle name: Common
Nick name: Common
Last name: NOT COMMON AT ALL!

[DroppinScience]

I'm happy to say that Brett isn't all that common. I mean, there's a lot of Brett's around, but thank God it isn't like John or something. I think I've only ran across a handful of other Brett's in my entire life.

[b-grrrlie]

I think my name is as common as donkey shit
So there's a lot of donkeys in Milton Keynes? :p



Anyways, I'm Diana Lynn. My last name means "field" in Finnish (their last names are geographical usually), so it's not very common. I googled my first and last name and only came up on one John Kerry petition, under a very obscure search engine.:confused: What kind of Finnish do you know? I have never heard lynn in Finnish language, and I have spoken it for 45 years (well, almost, the first years were maybe more goo goo). It does sound more Norwegian tho'.

My first name is quite common in my agegroup and there was quite a few in here in Stockholm as well. The most famous is one really good photographer. When I used this darkroom at some sort of community center people thought I was her when I did the bookings with my first name only. When I google both first and last name I only find loads of me, someone who did a childrens Christmas calendar on the telly once and one dancer from the town I was born in. My last name is really common in there, takes several pages on local the phonebook, here it's just less than 10 cm.

[ms.peachy]

My first name is not entirely uncommon, but I was given the less-commonly used spelling variant. In it's more common spelling, though, it could also be a boy's name, or even a fairly common surname.

My middle name is very common, especially here in England.

My surname is both a common last name, and a not-uncommon first name for a boy.

I've only ever found one person by googling though with my same name, not including the middle initial. She's a realtor somewhere in Illinois, I think.

[Trimm Trabb]

First name: pretty common. Definitely since there's a famous dutch singer who's also called Anouk.
Middle name: not so common. Maybe only with afro-american females.
Surname: pretty common in the regions of Rotterdam.

[JBernas]

My entire maiden name was pretty common. My parent's don't exactly get the originality award for naming their daughter Jennifer in the 70's. Once, before I was married, I went to the DMV to get my license switched from FL to VA, and apparently a girl with my exact birthday (one year off) and exact name (first middle and last) had a slew of convictions and had warrants in Miami....they were like "are you SURE you never lived in Miami". It took a couple of hours and verification of SSN to straighten it out.

This is sorta what happened to me with those doctor's results. That other <me> had a series of tests and she apparently needs heart surgery.

After being stunned into absolute silence for maybe 10 seconds after hearing that and thinking that she was talking about me, I was all like FUCK! NO FREAKIN WAY WITH THE EXERCISE I DO!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

It took a minute to figure out what was happening and I swear after that, I probably do need heart surgery.

[Junker]

My name's Paulo. Here in Brasil, every Paulo has a second name. Mine is Cesar. Paulo Cesar. And Paulo Cesar is a fucking common name.

Examples of Paulo's second names:

Paulo Cesar (mine)
Paulo Sérgio
Paulo Roberto
Paulo Ricardo
Paulo Renato
Paulo Rogério

[wanton wench]

my name (gail) is not that common. the way it is spelled is not common at all.
most people spell it gayle. and everyone thinks my name is short for abagail. alot of people know my name cause of crystal gayle, the chic with the really really long hair. which is kinda weird cause i have always had long hair.

[monkey]

separately, my first name is relatively common. not everyone has it, but people have heard it before. my middle name is common, but more so in spanish or its english version. my last name... not so much. it's the name of a town in spain. and... the only people with my last name ive ever met were part of my family.
all together, i have heard my name is quite... different. i think it's just a very feminine, almost literary name. I was talking about it with my friend yesterday.. how all three of my names sound completely different than jjust calling me by my first and last name. it's like gabriel garcia marquez. his names are common, but if he just called himself gabriel garcia...would you think of him as such an amazing writer still?

yea, when im famous, im gonna be a three name person.

[monkey]

Middle name: not so common. Maybe only with afro-american females.

Nope, its not common at all but people have heard of it.

[jabumbo]

my first name is the classic religious name. i dont know a whole lot of people that have it, but its fairly common i would say

as far as my last name goes, i think anyone in this country that has it, is related to me. i looked it up, and most of the stuff was a shortened spelling of it in polish.

[hpdrifter]

First name, somewhat common. I have learned to love it but as a kid I desparately wanted to be Lisa. Now I can't imagine why.

Last name is somewhat famous. Old Hollywood name. Not common

[mickill]

My first name is likely one of the most common names on earth.

My middle name is traditionally a last name, and is kinda common. Just not as a middle name.

My last name takes up about 15 pages in the phonebook where I live, but I think it's less common everywhere else.

[beastiegirrl101]

First Name: Aimee - Not very common. The name Amy is common, but not the way I spell it.

Middle Name: Marie - Ridiculously common middle name :\

Last name: Extremely Uncommon. there are a grand total of 7 people in the US who have it, and they are all closely related to me.

My middle is Marie also...but who isn't?

[TAL]

[cosmo105]

i hate my name. it's so boring.

i used to have an email address of my name - hotmail, looong ago before msn bought it - and i got so many mistaken identity emails. the funniest was this guy in mexico professing his love for me and wondering when i'd respond to his marriage proposal and when could he see me again? when i was about 13. i got a lot of spam though :\

[b-grrrlie]

My middle is Marie also...but who isn't?

My second name is the worst possible version of Maria/Marie and I loath it so much I don't even use it.

[kll]

I have yet to run into someone with the same name as me... I didn't realize how uncommon Esmerelda really was...

[ShanLY22]

I don't think my name is common. It's Shawna (spelled Shanna, so evvvverrryooooonnne pronounces it wrong. I get Shana, Shayna, Shannon, Shania. It's very rare that someone actually says it correctly. It's frustrating.)

[avignon]

It's weird how names can become trendy. I would try to avoid naming my kids the trendy names. Right now, Aidan is very trendy and Jacob. What are the girl name trends right now? Are we still in the Mckenzie-Zoe-Kayla trend or has that moved on?
My name is not common. But everyone names their cars Celeste. I don't get it. I like having a Cheyenne name too. It's like a secret code or a secret identity.

[Trimm Trabb]

is your middle name shanequa?

It's Charissa.

[dublirie04]

Nope -- I have never met anyone with my same first name and when people hear it, they can never spell it right.

Marirose is what it is..........dont wear it out.

[steve-onpoint]

No. Mine is Stephen.

[Sandinista!]

I don't know any other Mexican guys named Walter...

[Medellia]

I don't know any other Mexican guys named Walter...
Oh, you told me I couldn't tell anyone your real name but you go and post it on the board. :rolleyes:

Oh, you told me I couldn't tell anyone your real name but you go and post it on the board. :rolleyes:

The time was right for a revelation.

[zorra_chiflada]

my first name -susan - is not really that common, not for people of my age anyway. it's kinda an aunt name, if you know what i mean.
my middle name is middle of the road
my surname is quite uncommon. it's not a name you hear often, but there's a lot of variations on it that are more common.

[Audio.]

no. My name is Audio but it's a name I never heard anyone with it.
