There are 299,968,595 people in the United States of America. If everyone in the U.S. lined up single file, the line would stretch around the Earth almost 7 times. That's a lot of people.

The U.S. Census Bureau statistics tell us that there are at least 88,799 different last names and 5,163 different first names in common use in the United States. Some names are more common than others.

There are 49,535 people named John Smith in the United States. There are 1,048 people named James Bond, 113 people named Harry Potter , 503 people named George Bush, and 2 people named Britney Spears (don't you feel bad for the other one?). However, Johnny Cash (39 people) songs aside there are, statistically speaking, no boys named Sue.

There are 106 people named Chris Griffith (don't you feel bad for 105 of them?).

What about you? How many people share your name? Enter it and find out how many of you there are.

Chris, I do not know which is scarier 1 Marc Blasi or 983 of me (it looks like I am winning in the number of clones). As Marc would say in his Yodism, "Begun the clones wars have."

Jeff, is there something that we should know... according to your number "0" the census bureau would think that you do not exist. Unless, you are really "the one and only" Jeffrey Belonger. And yes, I do mean "one and only."

I do feel sorry for the other Chris Griffith's (j/k) - I'm the only Ines Hegedus and Ines Hegedus-Garcia, although if I would have dropped my maiden name - I would share Ines Garcia's with 34 others - I think I made a good choice. Very creative e-mail Chris - we need to be individuals and at the same time think of our role in the BIG picture.

This is such a fun post Chris! There are 7 Pam Ivey's and 62 named Pamela Ivey. It was really suprising to note that there were nearly 30,000 Ivey's in the U.S. I had no idea it was such a common name! Thanks for the great distraction on a Sunday morning. :-)

Too much fun Chris. I am told that my last name (even though I am Mexican/American on my birth certificate) has a Greek origin. This has been confirmed by past Greek clients I have had but my family has not been successful in tracing the roots. I have to say I may be the only one you know who has a name no one else in the world has which is George Tallabas.

Jason: You have just proven that you are an uber dork and then blamed it on Marc. Nice!

This is a fun post. The site tells me I am the only one. However, I know I am not because there is another in Pasadena CA and one that works for Cone Foods, they come up when I search my name on Google.

This is shocking news -- I tried the site and found that I don't exist. Neither does my brother, my cousin, my aunts and uncles. Does this mean we don't have to pay taxes either? To be or not to be?

What a fun post! So, there are 3 of me, but I already knew of one. He played football at Grand Valley State a couple of years ago and any time someone Googles me, they get articles about him too. Thanks for sharing!

Neat post. 71 with my first and last name...I just wish I could get one of them to come and help out with all my "to do's".

Jennifer: I have a Jennafer (daughter) and it states there are "0" Jennafers but the "Griffith's" holy smokes!

Those numbers are incorrect, I believe back in October we reached the 300 million marker and I am sure by now we have gone way over that. I also searched my name and it said there are "0" listings of my last name, I know that is crap because I have family with the same last name. LOL!!
