    I'm an army of none!

    • You and me both, brother! We should start a zero-man march, or something.
    • I suppose the "army of one" thing would've been a bit inappropriate anyway, what with me being an Air Force brat and all. :-) Still, I don't know if being told that I don't exist is all that it's cracked up to be.

      Maybe this means I can dodge my income taxes and not get caught. :-)

      (I guess that means they didn't get their name info from the IRS.)

    • My girlfriend's last name didn't register, but there are 767 Bryan Thompsons running around out there. 223rd most popular first name and 17th most common last name.
  • Apparently there are people named Jason Jason. Why, I don't know (not that it is my last name or anything).

  • I don't exist. You never saw me. In fact, I'm not even here speaking to you now. Not only am I not real, but no one with my last name is real either. Now I just have to convince the IRS of this fact.
  • I am a Navy of Noooooooone!
    • That's 'cuz you're a dirty, nasty canuk! :-)

      Seriously, welcome back. Congrats on graduating Basic, Congrats on the one X, too bad on the other, I hope your brother has an uneventful tour!

        Thank you on all counts. I'm just glad my ex and I broke up now, instead of after the posting (she's never been out of Newfoundland, I'm being posted at the end of January).
  • Somewhat surprising since my last name ain't all that 'mericun.

    But apparently there are 1,380 people with the same last name.

    I bet 1350 are in Minnesota though.

    It says there are 426 Ryan Russells.

    Frankly, that seems low. I've met about 4, I see around 10-15 on Google on a regular basis. Is it unlikely that I've run across the high a percentage? Or is the observation paradox? I.e. I on;y notice (and track, to any degree) those, because we have the same name?
  • I. Am an Army. Of 3,149!!!
  • It doesn't have the same ring, but it sure looks like a sweet game...

  • ...and I don't even live there!
  • "There are 0 people in the U.S. named Tethys."

    That kinda surprised me. Tried it as both a forename and a surname, but both came up blank. Oh well.

    • on my chosen server (gilneas) in WoW, there is a player named tethys.

      I asked him 'are you tet from slashdot?'

      he said ,"what the hell are you talking about! For the last time, NO!"

      I thought this was interesting, as i'd never asked him before.

      Apparently, i'm not your only stalker.

  • HowManyOfMe.com [howmanyofme.com]There are:
    37,087

    So neither myself or my father are real people. Woo!
  • 156 of me. Which roughly makes me 1 in 2 million. And one of those bastards has my name as a domain.
    604 of my wife. Polygamy 4tw!
    157 of my brother. He thought he had the more unique name. Loser.
    244 of my mom. Which explains how she seemed to always know when I was being bad.
    475 of my dad.
    11 of what will be my son's name. Which is pretty cool.
  • There are 3 of my name that I know of: my grandfather, my father, and myself. My son has it too but I can understand that they don't have a 4 year old up there yet. But the site only says there are 2 with my last name....I wonder which one of us is missing...
  • Hi, I'm Doug, this is my brother Doug, and this is my other brother Doug.
  • I'm impressed. There are 10 of me. And 68 of BBB.
