Wow! One of a kind.

I thought this was pretty interesting. The website claims that only 420 people in the US have my last name, and that no one has my first and last name.

Oops, their code didn’t work. Anyway, this is a website where you can put in your name and it will tell you how many people in the country have your name. Pretty neat!

    How many good-for-nothing, thieving punks ripped off your name?

    Sigh. I’m only one of 94 of a kind. In fact, there are 587,938 people with the name “Patrick” and 47,995 people with the last name “Chan” in the United States.

    If only I were named Fruit Chan instead. Although at this point I’d settle for Vegetable Chan.

    Is Fruit Chan a synonym for Melon Chan? If so, I’d gladly exchange names with you. Mine’s not so special anyway - it was just bestowed upon me by a not-so-loving older brother.

    And now I must find them… and destroy them.

    There can be only one.

    But you are so very special in your own way. Don’t let Mom tell you otherwise.

    It says (though I know it’s inaccurate) that zero person has my last name in the U.S. :( And yes, I live in the U.S. :D
