I know that there are at least two other peole with my name out there, however, when I tried it with my Grandmother’s name it states “While both names you entered were found in our database, neither was common enough to make it likely that someone in the U.S. has that name.” That changed it for me. I though maybe they were using Census data and telling actually how many people with the same name there are, instead it’s just using statisical data to guess how many there likely are. It was a cool idea though.</p> I was really excited about this.
