Six of each of us

One of the comments Jonas made last night, mostly in response to my comment that I know another Mark Smith was that there are, on average, six people in the country with the same name.
The distribution is probably a bell curve of some sort, with Kitt Hodsdens on one side, and Mark Smiths on the other. Although it makes finding me that much easier, I like having a relatively unique name. As far as Google and Yahoo! know, I'm the only Kitt Hodsden in the U.S.
Which makes me reluctant and not very likely to take Kris' much more common last name. With his last name, I'd probably have google duels with a lawyer in San Francisco, a 22 year old in Germany, a Colorado College graduate, some woman in England and a "Miss Kitty" who died recently in Florida.
And I wouldn't have the cool urls that I have now.
Sorry, Kris. You lose.
