How Many You’s Are There?

There have been many stories involving dopplegangers. Which to me has always been kind of cool – the idea that there is another ‘you’ out there somewhere – evil or not – has a certain chill factor.
And I’ve often wondered if there were a couple of me’s running around as I’ve run into people who were sure I was really Debbie from Minnesota and Sue from Nevada. I even was flipping through a fashion magazine one day and there was a model who had my face on her tall, skinny model body. Talk about double take. It was strange and exhilerating at once.
I wonder though if I really met my doppleganger face to face what would happen? That is fodder for a possible story I think.
In the meantime, click on the pick above and find out how many you’s there are in the U.S. – you may be surprised.
Oh yeah – funny thing – when I input both my first and middle name I discovered in fact I was the only one. Without the middle name I have 73 other namesakes. I guess that makes me semi-unique? LOL – I dunno.

PS: HT to Court Reporting Chick for the link and I have NO idea why this came out green. 
I put my first and last name into it and it said there are only two. I wonder if that’s correct.
I knew my lastname wasn’t common, but I didn’t think it was quite that uncommon. It said, “Statistically the 1943rd most popular last name. (tied with 338 other last names)”
Maybe I’m semi-unique, too.

I’d say so – and for more than just your name hon.
WC
wow I put my first and last name in and was the only one in the USA , guess there’s no hiding out or going on the lamb for a bit. :O
LOL – well I hope there isn’t a reason you would need to go on the lam.
WC
Zero people have my exact name! Woohoo! There’s quite a few with my first name, though.
See, you’re one in a gagillion!
WC
Twenty Four. Fairly unique.
LOL Evyl, your uniqueness has nothing to do with your name.
WC
OMG there are 426 people w/my exact name! Jeez why can’t I be unique. I will try my maiden name and see how that works!
LOL – you’re funny. I did the same thing – I didn’t like that there were so many with my first and last so I went back and put in my first middle and last – that way there was only one – me. Tada!
WC
70 with my maiden name! See Kathleen is way too common!
Still, you are 3 less than me.
WC
Ok, there is only one more of me, and NO Zoe’s, infact apparently there is no-one in the states with her surname!
Kelly
Oooh, you are ultra-unique then. I wonder if they have a similar thing in Austrailia?
WC
I don’t think they do…bugger it!
dang! too bad.
WC
I’m the only one. I am on the lam, I’m screwed.
You are doomed. But I’m sure we can get you fixed up with an alias. Any preferences?
WC
4,634 MM’s.
Scary.

LOL – I had a feeling there were quite a few of you. I wonder if you can add any qualifiers – like how many shave their heads? it’s a thought.
WC
Just one of me laying around!
I’ll bet – I’m sure there aren’t many people named Interstellar –
WC
got you beat….
I went to high school with someone with my First, Middle & Last name (except-no “d”)
who was also an Aries, who’s mother also had the same name as mine…..
ohhhh…….scary…..

That is some serious doppleganger material FC. Did you write a story or discover she was taking clippings of your hair and fingernails whilst you slept? :0
WC
I’M THE ONLY ONE OF ME IN THE WHOLE U.S.A.! YAY!!!
LOL – well I coulda told you that!
WC
Yeah, I think I wil become Ms. Smith. There’s a ton of Smiths. Easy to get lost in that crowd.
Yeah, that’s a good idea. Especially if you choose a first name like Mary or Susan. I mean there must be a bagillion of them, right?
