There are 61 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

And no, if you don't know my name, I'm not saying here.  In spite of the fact that the Census shows over 6,000 people with my first name, it is actually a very uncommon name.  I'm getting better about having my real name on the internet (being a poly activist and media contact kinda makes that necessary), but my first reaction is still to not mention my real name online.

• There are 6,062 people in the U.S. with the first name xxxxx.
• Statistically the 2397th most popular first name.
• More than 99.9 percent of people with the first name xxxxx are female.
• There are 3,049,159 people in the U.S. with the last name xxxxx.
• Statistically the 1st most popular last name.

The result was produced statistically rather than by actual count, so there may be more or fewer people with your name. When I entered my father's name, the result was "there are 0 people with that name" because both the first and last names were rare enough that "statistically it's unlikely that anyone with that name exists in the United States" (or words to that effect).

I've done searches on my name before ... actual numbers notwithstanding, it's fairly accurate in its guesstimate for my name

Hmm evidently my first name is not in their system yet as I have no instances of my first name. My last does come up some
