How Many Of Me?

65. That's how many Randi Andersons there are in the U.S.
I've just been to howmanyofme.com- you should go, it's fun. I found that there are 23,051 people in the U.S. with the first name Randi making it the 1,219th most popular name. 99.9% of people with the name Randi are female. There are 868,628 people with the last name Anderson making it the 12th most popular last name. Frazier, however, is the 314th most popular last name with 100,632 people who have it as their last name. There are only 8 people in the U.S. named Randi Frazier so marrying Josh made me considerably less unique. There are 670,026 people named Joshua in the U.S. (the 72nd most popular name) and 1,894 Joshua Andersons + 100 people who are just named Josh Anderson. There are fewer than 1537 people with the first name Frazier and 4 or fewer Frazier Andersons..though there's a disclaimer with his name that says the estimates for it are not absolute and there may be fewer or no people with that name in the U.S. So, basically, the chances of Frazier meeting someone else with his name? Slim to none. Mission. Accomplished.

  1. Fun site....yep, same thing happened to me adding Anderson. There are 100 Debbie Wellses out there and 682 Debbie Andersons! I checked my little 6 year old friend...Anderson James Frazier and he comes out with the same stats as Frazier. Then I tried some strange names and there are more Acorns out there than Amitys. haha...I could do this all night. Seems Italian names make your name frequency go way down...but if we all change our lasts names to an Italian name it will hurt Jim's feelings so we'd better not.

  2. There are four or fewer Anniston Martins too! Mission accomplished here as well :). Thanks for the site...very entertaining!

    Also, I'm glad you had such a great time at MOPS and that you have met some wonderful friends through this new mommy-stage. I can tell, like you, that it makes such a difference being surrounded by encouraging women!
