There are 9 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

Apparently I died in Amarillo, TX, in September 2005, aged 87.

And I'm a supervisor at Weyerhauser.

And I was involved in a "unusual" purchase of cattle in Wisconsin in 1998.

And I teach math at Little Wolf High School in Manawa, Wisconsin.

And I'm a sales manager at Matrix Telecommunications.

So that's five, plus me... where are the other three hiding?

This is actually a statistics game. They're just calculating the odds of your first and last name combination. Apparently, there are 1,416,936 in the U.S. with my first name, and only 1,064 with my last name. I'm surprised at how low the first number is and how high the second is. And apparently, there are 5 people in the U.S. with my name. I know of two of them, but one married a couple of years ago and changed it.

I figured they didn't actually go through census records and count all of us up. I've got a rare enough name that 9 might be close to the actual number.
