Mine's not either. I ran a Google search on it once and My uncle and his kids were the only ones that showed up other than myself, and both his children are women, 1 married now, 1 living with her boyfriend. Talk about pressure to keep the family name going!

Wow. Knowing how bad my last name gets butchered by certain types of people, I did not realize that it would be that numerous. To be certain that of 50000 names it would be in the 35000 area, but that makes me think. Great story.

Outspoken, the number doesn't mean that's how many people that have your name.
after all, Smith is number 1.
That's just where it ranks in their database.
