FREQUENTLY OCCURRING NAMES IN AMERICA

* *

Apparently, the people at the Census Bureau are often asked about name frequency. They made this nifty little searchable database that will tell you where your female first name, male first name or last name stacks up against the other contenders in the 1990 Census. We'll give you the highlights: Smith is the most frequent last name, and Mary and James lead for first names. However, the real fun is plugging in your last name and finding out how obscure you really are.
