You may have already seen this but it's very interesting to me.
- There are 51,648 people in the U.S. with the first name Ginger. (Statistically the 774th most popular first name.)
- There are 1,001,066 people in the U.S. with the first name Matthew. (Statistically the 40th most popular first name.)
- There are 486 people in the U.S. with the last name Eppinette. (Statistically the 53211th most popular last name.)
After I put our names in, I tried to find out the most popular names. I guessed correctly on the last name.
- There are 3,056,364 people in the U.S. with the last name Smith. (Statistically the 1st most popular last name.)
- There are 5,055,457 people in the U.S. with the first name James. (Statistically the 1st most popular first name.)

Hi Ginger:)
If you click on 'statistics' on that web page it looks like Mary is first for girls. Overall though, it comes out as being 5th.

Yeah...I know. That's why I couldn't figure it out.
How fun PoMonkey. I found my first name and nickname are more common than I thought. However if I put in my nickname and my maiden name there are only 2 of us!!! I have to find her, maybe we are twins!!! Oh and using the word "nickname" just made me wonder why we call it "nickname". I will find out and let you know.
Hi! That was fun - how many of the 486 are you related to? (Abbie wasn't very common b/c most are Abigail, and Knaub even less, but more than Eppinette!)
Glad to be one of 286 now and before...I was one of zillions of Smiths. I've gone from one extreme to another. Allyepp
PoMoney I tried a bunch of names and the closest I came was with Mary which they say is 5th. It is driving me crazy now to try and figure out what #1 is.
The site ranks the most popular name not by male or female #1 so John is #1, James #2, I don't know 3 or 4, but then Mary is #5. So it's total people in the that is most popular. So Mary is #1 girl.
There are 22 other Robert Hornaks? I must meet them. And then destroy them.
