#27. Just How Unique Is Your Name?

My parents named me Virgil Brewer when I was just a little baby, so I had very little to do with the matter. I realize that my surname is quite common, but I have always considered my given name, Virgil, to be somewhat uncommon. I absolutely knew without a shadow of doubt, however, that no one else in the entire world had my full name.

WOW! Was I surprised (actually shocked) to find that 32 people in the U.S. have both the first and last name I was born with -- Virgil Brewer!

Then come back and let me know what you have discovered. Do you have an unusual story to share about your name? Let me hear from you -- uh, what did you say your name is?
