Well, there's only one Genealogue -- and 1,556,837 Christophers and 26,997 Dunhams in the United States -- but there are apparently 139 other people running around with our friend's name.
You can play around with your own name at How Many of Me -- but with one caveat. You're out of luck if you have a name like Smolenyak because it only works for the 88,799 most popular surnames. Still, it's nice to know that I was one of the first of the more than 220,000 Megans! (warning: site sometimes sports tacky ads)

I think I'll start spelling my name with an umlaut. From now on, I'm the one and only Christopher Dünham.

I always knew I was unique, now I have proof - according to the site there is no one person in the states with my (married) name and only one person with my maiden name :-) I'm surprised about that as I'd thought irish names would be quite common in the states by now!
BTW Megan, I tried to get through to you on your PM but my message came back to me, I even had a collegue forward the message to you before Christmas but it came back to her too. I would like to get in touch, could you e-mail me again?
