I do not have a popular name..by that site it says that there is an estimated 9,577 people with my name. I am not sure how i feel about this...i like having a unique name, but its a pretty name and i don't understand why more people don't use it.

Quite an interesting site and information on it. I checked about my name also i.e. Deepak - it says it is 752nd in American names. It is great to know that Deepak name is used in America too.........LOL! Other information related to my name were also quite amusing. Thanks for bringing this information to us.

Hello Polachicago, This is a terrific discussion topic. While I would otherwise love to contribute, as long as MyLot supports the irresponsible notion that it is reasonable for one person to judge another person’s views, beliefs, opinion, photographs, as either “useful” or useless, then I remain ‘in protest’. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. From the MyLot FAQ page: “myLot members should rate discussions, responses, comments, and photos based upon quality and usefulness. We are very excited about the DRS and encourage everyone to use it. The DRS is factored into our proprietary earnings algorithm” http://www.mylot.com/o/faq.aspx

here is my result from that site : First some popularity statistics: Regarding there were not even a single person with this name, popularity of LITTLEMEL should be less than per million. According to this calculation, we can estimate that as of December.25.2008 00:09 there are less than 435 people named as LITTLEMEL in the United States and the number of LITTLEMEL's should not be increasing more than 4 people per year. this is only the US I wonder about the whole universe :) it would be nice to have unpopular name so it doesn't sound so common

CARLY is the most popular 14673.rd name in USA (... 14671.kovacs , 14672.frauke , 14673.carly , 14674.allis , 14675.meilan ...). One in every 234,068 Americans are named as CARLY and popularity of name CARLY is 4.27 people per million. If we compare the popularity statistics of CARLY to USA's population statistics, we can estimate that as of May.03.2009 17:36 there are 1,310 people named as CARLY in the United States and the number of CARLY's are increasing by 11 people every year. Usage of carly as a first name is 66.67% and its usage as a middle name is 33.33%. The sum of alphabetical order of letters in CARLY is 59 and this makes CARLY arithmetic buddies with words like Learned, Liberal, Sober, Pert, Ironic, Delicate, Joker, Kicky, Limber, Logical, Solid, Moral. I am suprised that there are only 1,310 people named carly in the USA! I thought there would have been way more. What a fun site!

It's cute and funny! But I can't check the popularity of my name there. I am Chinese, and my name only consists of 2 characters, and I was told it's too short to poke.

172,814 people in the States share my first name. I have no idea who shares the shortened version, but it is a bit more and the other version has more yet. No wonder I have difficulty getting a web site with my name on it. I guess I will be known as A===245 or a=-----350 or something like that. So you stand a better chance of getting a web site with your name on it. And at least, you probably will not have people spelling it wrong or ask you "is it one or two Ts" or "one or two es"

Usage in the U.S. of my real first name is 86.49% - I guess that's popular? Also says that its arithmetic buddies with words like Undefiled, Congenial, Gullible, Diligent, Eminent, Pious, Bouncy, Eccentric, Funny, Helpful, Relieved. Actually I just came from answering a post where I said I was relieved! This is fun, thanks for pointing to the site, polachicago. A very merry Christmas to you!
