Frequently Asked Questions |

Where did you get this information from?- This information was obtained from the US Census. The information can be found free of charge- I took the time to add it into a database and then create these scripts to search the database and display it all nice!

How do you figure out how many people have my name?- To find out about how many people share your name with you, we took the population figure as of when this survey was done and then split it into male and female for the male and female names and let it be for the last names. Then we just multiplied it by the frequency percentage!

I don't know anyone with the most popular names!- Yeah, pretty much if you grew up in the 90's some of these names are going to look like there was an error in the database. First off, you have to remember that certain names that we all know well from the 90's were created in the 90s's- so that name hardly even exists for anyone born earlier. Plus the most recent data from the census that is available is from 1990 so that too might be why some of the data looks odd. However, most is still pretty accurate.

My stats aren't on here!- If your information comes up and doesn't have statistics with it, that just means that your name is very rare! That's something that's pretty cool!
