A Fun Little tid-bit.......

I found this on a friends blog it is a fun way to waste a bit of time, but who knows how accurate the data is.

First we will do Ryan..... (but I will use his first name William)

HowManyOfMe.com

There are 147 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

And Ryan (as Ryan with first name)

HowManyOfMe.com

There are 20 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

Now my turn (the first one is with Curington, my maiden name, the second one is Wilbanks)

HowManyOfMe.com

There are 3 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

Sarah Wilbanks....

There are 30 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

Now lets do Miriam.....

HowManyOfMe.com

There are 4 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

Other interesting name Stats:

There are 3,734,508 people in the U.S. with the first name William.
Statistically the 6th most popular first name.

There are 507,456 people in the U.S. with the first name Ryan.
Statistically the 109th most popular first name.

There are 771,819 people in the U.S. with the first name Sarah.
Statistically the 58th most popular first name.

There are 100,276 people in the U.S. with the first name Miriam.
Statistically the 526th most popular first name.

There are 11,942 people in the U.S. with the last name Wilbanks.
Statistically the 3117th most popular last name.

There are 1,307 people in the U.S. with the last name Curington.
Statistically the 21778th most popular last name.

Conclusions:

Miriam will likely go through life without ever meeting another Miriam Wilbnaks (and will probably not meet many other Miriam's as well!) William is very popular (I am glad Ryan goes by Ryan instead!)Wilbanks is by far a more popular last name then Curington is. And the more popular your first and last names are the more likely there will be many with the same name. DUH! I could have figured that out without the name calculator - of course it wouldn't have been as much fun!!
