I'm the only one of me other than my son(he's named after me....wow that's cool. The reason though is that the spelling of my first name is not common at all even though there are people with the same pronunciation of my first name.

BTW, you can see how many people in the U.S. have a particular name here: http://howmanyofme.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

There are 1,224 people with my legal name. There is one other in the phone book in my city.

There are only 9 in the US with the same name as me. That number jumps dramatically on a global scale...i assume most in Italy.

Apparently there are "1 or fewer" with my name in the US. I was hoping to at least qualify as one!

When we lived in OKC, there was a couple that lived on South... and we lived on North...

There first and last names were the same as ours. And our name isn't Smith or Jones either!
