Why I never mention my actual first name online.

There are: 0 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

I think they're database is incomplete - a woman from Texas wrote to me about 5 or 6 years ago because she had the same first name.  I guess it's possible that hers was one letter different; the human mind would discount that amount of difference as negligible, but it would not be a perfect match.

I agree. They told me that there was noone in the US with even my first name, much less my whole name.

Hah! Yes, that's patently impossible. Yours is an unusual first name, but not unheard of.

Apparently there are 42 people with my name in the US. :)

Certainly :)

So that was me saying yes, not some random anon. :)

[msliz4857.livejournal.com]

LOL! I've done that once or twice myself. Thanks for the cute icon! :)

Seems as though there should be a few more. But 42 is still enough for you to hide in a crowd. ;)

29 for me using my married name. Only 10 using my maiden name. Which I guess doesn't count because I don't use that name anymore! ;)

You should be able to use either, I think.
