There are 1826 Bissetts, but only 7 Carol Bissetts I didnt bother searching the Carols, probably millions

I too am unique for my married name and only 27 with maiden name, hubby is also unique how lucky can you girls get!!!!!

Not as common as my hubby. 2384 for me under married name. 5781 David Thomas's. But under maiden name only 22 Margaret Brownlow's. Maggie

Hi Tracey; You know what a wombat is? (One of those odd looking things that dig horrendous burrows and, contrary to popular belief are not cuddly and do not roam our Aussie backyards!!) You know what a wing nut is? (One of those nuts with the sticky out bits on each side that make it soooooo much easier to loosen or tighten.) You ever seen one on a wombat or ever seen a wombat on a wingnut? It is like a wigwom for a horses bridle as my Nan used to say. A thingamegig or a whatsiehooover, doodad. It is a great phrase. Hope you are now enlightened! lol Sonja

What are wombats wingnuts?

I am unique, the only one. I tried my maiden name and there was 140. Ann Cooke surprised there were so few.

Great site! Five of me! I always thought I was unique until I started tracing my family tree! But how many of them were sadly named after Shirley Temple!!

Try this, how many Tracey Smiths are there? I don't consider myself common though!

Thank god i got married, cos as April Brosnan my maiden name i am so unique i don't exist, i am as rare as a pixie or an elf, and there are only 5 of me married, and i am as rare as wombats wingnuts.

there are 17 using my maiden name and 4 using my married name.im as rare as a wombats wingnut!!!...lol

Hi Alison, I am unique!! With an irish forename and a scottish surname you would think other wise-but it's nice to know that I am the only Sinead Walkinshaw in the UK!!! Thanks for the site- it provides a bit of light relief from all the dates,parishes,parentage and brick walls!! Sinead

Hi Alison, I am unique!!! With a name as long as mine what can you expect Anne-Marie Bainbridge. Good fun will try my husbands now. Anne-Marie

i went to the page and entered my sons name which i thought was very rare and found 185 shays i was very surprised debbi

I'm nudging this up the board as it is just the thing for a laugh! Alison

I didn't exist! Then I remembered that officially I am a Sylvia - now I am unique. 84 Sillinces which quite shocked me. I wont try the maiden name - it was Brown! Sylvie

There is 14 of me and 23 of my maiden name Bannister, There are only 2 of my husband Bryan and 2 of my daughter Lydia, my son Bradley does not exist. O'Donoghue there are 2710, but Bannister there are 8004. I expected more Bannisters 'cause my lot seemed to bread like rabbits!!!! Michelle

Under my married name, there are 3 of us, under my maiden name, there is only 1! and there are only 366 Tebb's on the list and 89 Hounshams! julie tebb:)

I was a bit upset to find that there were 255 of me. So.....I cheated and typed in all of my Christian names. Now I can join Tiff Savage in knowing that we don't exist.

There are well over 2000 of me which isn't surprising. Like Alison, when I had my first baby there were three Barbara Jones in the labour ward. Good job my little boy looks like his dad or I would have been woried they mixed up the babies! My maiden name was Priestman, and there are still five of me!

There are only 36 of me but if your name is John Smith you have 12547 for company !!!! Terry on the Rock
