I just did a search of my wife's first name, Shauntay, and it said no one had her name. Umm, you can google that name, and tons of different names pop up. Interestingly enough a former Miss USA, and a former FBI top ten fugitive. LOL. Not too sure how accurate that thing is.

Aelfinn

Lol, now I know the thing's f***ed up.

My family name has been in the US for 6 generations (as a part of my family tree at any rate), hell, my grandmother still is freinds with members of President Bush's extended family. (Not that those loose connections have done us any good :P) Her husband used to comanage the Bell Ranch, quite possibly the most famous cattle ranch in America. We currently live a few miles from a fellow that shares the same first and last name as my father, and there are plenty more with the same last name around.

And yet... no results

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.

This site does not search actual names in the US, it merely uses statistics to determine a number.



From the site, HERE:

Q: Why isn't it more accurate?

A: There are a number of possible sources of inaccuracy:

First and foremost, the program is based upon a convenient fiction. Without getting too technical, the program makes the assumption that a person's first and last names are independent of one another. What this means is it assumes that the probability of a person having a particular first name is the same no matter what last name they have. It isn't.

So, for example: The program assumes that the chance that your first name is "Juan" is the same, regardless of whether your last name is "Arteaga" or "Epstein". Episodes of Welcome Back Kotter aside, we would hazard a guess that there are not that many people in the U.S. actually named "Juan Epstein". Depending upon what your family name is, it makes certain first names more likely, and certain others less likely. The program cannot compensate for that.

Second, the data is old. The data for this program comes from the U.S. Census Bureau's 1990 census. That makes the data about 17 years old or so. This is the most recent name data available from the Census Bureau (the 2000 census did not include name data), but it's still old, and it's accuracy may be slightly questionable.

Third, the data appears biased towards more formal versions of names. The data comes from forms mailed to the Census Bureau. It appears most people put their full, formal version of their name on the forms rather than a nickname. So, for example people who normally call themselves "Bill" would likely tend to put the name "William" on an official Census form. In fact, the data shows the name "William" outnumbering the name "Bill" 20 to 1. So, it appears that nicknames are under-represented in the statistics, and full formal names are over-represented in the statistics.

Fourth, not every name is on the list. A certain number of instances of a name were required to even make the list. About 10% of all responses were not included on the list because they appeared too few times. So, uncommon names are not represented on the list.

Fifth, we failed to make the required blood sacrifices to the gods of programming and statistics. Surely they will plague our endeavor with errors and inaccuracies.
