Yet another site to waste your time! :-)
HowManyOfMe.com uses the 1990 US Census Bureau figures to give you an idea of how many persons in the United States have the same name as you:
So how many persons in the US are named Vincent Isles?There are 304,085,207 people in the United States of America. If everyone in the U.S. lined up single file, the line would stretch around the Earth almost 7 times. That's a lot of people.
The U.S. Census Bureau statistics tell us that there are at least 88,799 different last names and 5,163 different first names in common use in the United States. Some names are more common than others.

i've tried it, it says I have 0 (zero similar names for both my FN and LN....my name kc is very unique, FN=Cielo, while my LN=sounds very tagalog hehhehe
I think it is your LN which is causing you the zero score. :) I've talked with a colleague who is into statistics and he had taken a look into the site. He said the process is not very complicated but rests on the assumption that FNs and LNs are completely independent of each other (they're not; I will bet you can find very few Juan Bush, for example).
I've also talk to some people knowledgeable about our census here in the Philippines and it seems they don't really have a database of names. I could perhaps get it from the NBI, but I don't know the process. (Yep, I'm planning to create a similar service in the Philippines. :)
that will be great, hope you'll be able to do that...
Hi Cielo,
Hopefully, I would be successful in this. I will inform you when I already have the prototype. No response yet from my NBI friend though. And I may need a server for the script and the database itself.
