Hedgecutter Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 My name only had 6 last year whilst my brothers had just 17 and 6 respectively. That's collectively 29 for three names that I thought were fairly common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I know someone who's mum is Finnish and who has a fairly common Finnish name. She enjoys some of the variations of her name that Starbuck's staff put on the cup when she orders coffee. . I'd like to invent a girl's name using a random set of letters. Something like Kasmelia.

SlipperyP Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 what counts as a different spelling and what's a different name? muhammed maybe? mohammet? what about mohmet? how about if you count the different spellings/versions of other names though: lump in all the ians, euans, eoins, owens, johns, jans and giovannis? Personnally i think names are outdated and our robot overlords will find barcodes a much more practical way of managing their bio-resources.It's already happening, in China the biggest email company qq.com just give you a 10 digit number with @qq.com. No such thing as a personal email address.As for the Mohammed names, does all boys from Islam have that as their first name? If so it's not that much...

A few years back I took a tour of the Coors Brewery where we learned about it's founder, German immigrant Adolph Coors.
