Poor buggers!

Boneman has a fancy doo-dad on his site that lets me go off and find that there are 216 people with my name in the USA. How common!

But what caught my attention was the next little window:

Am I showing my age? I would have thought John F. Kennedy would rate in top 5 famous Kennedys in the US. No offense to Adam, George and Jimmy but I have never heard of them.

JFK, RFK and even JFK jr appear in the 'click to see 4 more' list.

  1. I guess JFK was not such a popular President then..the next name to extinct will be George Bush!

  2. A toy to play with! There of 17 of me, 19,846th most popular name - I'm obviously not trying hard enough.

    Is there ever a popular president?

  4. My name is nothing unusual, and yet there is only one with my name. Seems most unlikely. Perhaps the famous names are generated at random, not in order of most famous.

  14. 'course, there's a second "key" to this business.
    It's only telling us the names that are somehow "connected"....
    Lord knows, there may be an entire city of folks out there with my name. only they never leave their city and never use the interweb and don't even watch tv.
    On that last thing, they are probably very happy.
