[cellio]

According to this site (link found in friends' journals):

The name Monica is shared by ~233,700 people in the USA.
The last name Cellio is shared by ~280 people in the USA.
The First_Name + Last_Name Monica Cellio is not common in the US, with a shared population of around 0 - 10 individuals.
The First Name, Last Initial Monica C is shared by ~13,690 people in the USA.
The First Initial, Last Name M Cellio is shared by ~30 people in the USA.

Note: For populations of less than 1,000 the margin of error increases significantly.



Ok, I understand higher margins of error, but I'd say that "0-10" for "Monica Cellio" is incorrect. :-) That said, the world will probably be a much happier place if there's just one of us...

I tried searching. The first line I got was:
* The Girl's Name Carl is shared by ~2,800 people in the USA.

This caused a "Huh?", and not because of the misplaced apostrophe. :) I was under the impression that I had one of the gender-restricted names. Apparently not.

How odd. I certainly thought that Carl was unambiguously male... (You didn't accidentally type "Carol", right?)

It said that for Kevin too, and I seriously can't think of any female-equivalent that would make sense. I mean, Kevina? Kevinia?

Maybe if there're those parents who decide on the names for their kids and stick with it even if the gender's wrong?

Hm.

Same thing happened with my name, but it wasn't a surprise, since I know of at least one woman with my first name (she was in my sister's law school graduation). On the other hand, it said there were about 30 people with my name; that seems small since whenever I do a google search on my name it comes up with lots of people who aren't me.

Interesting site, whether or not it's accurate...
