HOW MANY OF ME?

When I went to the doctor last week, I met yet again another Nisha. Only, she spells her name Neisha. I've been shocked since I moved to Utah how many fine women there are here with my very same name and born around the same time. I always ask how their parents got the name and it's always a random story.

I once thought my name was rather unique (and at one time, just plain weird). I am happy to report that I discovered I am the ONLY "Nisha Riggs" in the United States! Turns out, according to http://howmanyofme.com, there are 1,522 people with the first name Nisha in the US. There are 55 Adam Riggs in the US and you don't want to know how many hundreds of thousands of Adams, as it is the 143 most popular first name. I didn't check how this website gets their info and I don't think it's very accurate, but it provides a few minutes of entertainment in case you are interested in checking it out.

I did that for my name and there is only 1 Tashina Horn and one of each of my girls. I guess that's what happens when you have a unique/different name.

That's cool! We always knew you were one of a kind, right? It said there were "2 or fewer" with my name. What the heck does that mean?! Hahaha..

Very fun. There are 4 of me, 19 of Mike, 1 owen, 1 Luke, and 2 Aarons. I think having a uncommon last name is what did it. There's a ton of Jessica's and Michael's. I've never heard the story behind your name.

I have the same problems with Eliza only they all seem to be little girls. Never had this issue in CA.
