I knew my first name would be popular (or should that be common!!!!) - there's 502056.

There are, however, only 1356 with my surname and a surprisingly low 21 who share both my first name AND surname.

Ah, but there can only be only one........ What's in a name, etc.

or can here?

I do not exist, and neither does OH. However there are two of my older son (not possible, he must be double registered) and they got my younger son and his wife right.

What I want to know is, if I don't exist, how come I have to pay income tax, council tax etc, etc??

Good grief...I can't even get a simple task like this right !!!!!

My 'friend ' Peachy checked me out. She said i was much too 'common' to be unique ( just 'cos there are only 2 of her !)
Well as usual she was right - there are 623 of me. Goodness knows what i did the 1st time to get the results I did ; and I did it 3 times too !

(just to complete the picture, there are 105465 of my 1st name - poor things all of 'em I'd much rather be Boris even if i am a girl; and 265543 of my 2nd name . Peachy was right - as common as muck!)

Well Splodge my full name makes me also 'rarer than a wombat's wing nut' but as there are only 27 of me and 400 odd of you, there logic seems a bit off.

On the other hand my first name gives 134,683 of us which shows

"there are a few of you lot, look theres another one and another, 10p for a cup of coffee, OK but dont spend it on Special Brew"

As for my Irish surname there are 4533 of us and the comment "I laugh at you and your not so common yet strangely common name".

Now I know.

BTW there can only be one ROB in this world. PC would never stand a chance if there were say 1,000 of t hem
