I have the 51st most popular first name (actually, it's my middle name) and the 14th most popular surname.

2305 people in the US with my name. I'll bet it's higher.

I thought the same thing, so I started putting in friends' names. Turns out my buddy's 12 year old son; apparently nobody (not even him) has his name.

That's going to suck when he tries to go for his Social Security Card.

There are 0 people in the U.S. named Kris Fernet.
While both names you entered were found in our database, neither was common enough to make it likely that someone in the U.S. has that name.

Woo, woo! None in Canada too (as far as I know).

0 and 0 for first and Last name... I find that very hard to believe though. A quick google search proves that I am right.

There are 1,278,296 people in the U.S. with the last name Miller.
Statistically the 7th most popular last name.

Geez I didn't think Miller was that huge, I know it is a pretty popular name, but 7th place gives me a WOW

I think that's wrong, though. Might be that it's just too uncommon to mention.

this is how accurate the site claims to be:"

A: More accurate than a Magic 8-ball. Less accurate than distributing and collecting 300 million surveys.
