According to the Social Security Administration, below are the most popular names given to newborns in 2008, and once again, my name is the combination of the male and female names of the same rank.
This same thing happened in 2003, 2004, 2005, & 2006, although I was number three in those years.
So does Madison county (what exactly is the antonym of ‘irony’?).
According to http://howmanyofme.com/ there are 73 people with my name in the U.S.
Have you searched your names’ distribution? There are less Madisons in New York then Herkimer (based on frequency). See how popular your friend’s surnames are at:
