While reading my dailies, and there are many, I stumbled upon
Debbie's blog and how she was 1 of 8. My interest peaked so I decided to join her in the mission to find out just how many of ME there are in this wonderful world. Well, there is only ONE of me with my current first and last name. Imagine that. I am unique. However, there are
28,983 people in the U.S. with the first name Rachelle. Wow. But there are only
580 people in the U.S. with my married last name. When I looked up my maiden name, well all I can say is that it is the
4th most popular last name in the U.S. and it is not Smith!
1,894,602 people carry my maiden name as their last name!!! HOLY CRAP! And with my maiden name, there were
180 of me. Not so unique now, are we?! Now, let ME break down my clan...
Balla: 2
Sydnie: She's the only one!
MacKenzie: Again, the only one!
Jayson: Damn, I did good! He's an only as well! WOO HOO!
I guess our last names make us unique in this family. My girls have a different last name than Balla, Jay and I, in which there are several italian variations but the variation they have has a total of
9,549 in the U.S. I really enjoyed this little tidbit of information. It was fun testing out all the combos. If you all are bored, you should try it, it is interesting to see just how many of you there really are out there. And Debbie, it's ok, someone will name their child Deborah, Deb or Debbie again. It will catch on again, promise! Thanks for the blog idea!
TTFN,

Hey, that's pretty neat. As for 'Mary'....
5th most popular name
and I share with 4,024,236 others. Pretty common! lol
I was the only Carrie at a Catholic grade school. There was no Saint Carrie, therefore no holy cards for me. My middle name was Susan, again no Saint Susan and no holy cards.
It was the only time I really wanted to be a Mary.
RACHELLE...
