#1714, but we are trying harder to be #1713. Actually, my kids don't seem to be trying. :laughing:

 

[MoKelly]

Wow. Interesting. #69 and if those who put an extra E in their name spelled it correctly, we would be #61.

[tlm720]

#6. I knew it had to be near the top. Scary thing is how many are actually related!

 

[tcreeley]

I gave up after checking out the first most common 10,000 names. Not there! I know we are the one of two or 3 (summer home)(all related) in the state. I have a cousin an hour away, but no other relatives. NH and Mass have a few- back from the 1930's split (related), but otherwise we are on our own.

...ok looking more I found it: 91,404th 187 estimated living in the US

 

[fordmantpw]

Number 10 here. And with only one son, who says he is going to be a priest (he's only 8), we may be finished expanding.

 

[George2615]

Number 31 here. First name is number 16 on the list.

 

[LJH]

Number 34,630 on the frequency list, 618 counted in the 2000 census. Wonder if I'm on some endangered species list somewhere?

Bruce

A total of 587 of us in the States.

My given name and surname in scandinavian means "Ever Ruler of Rivers and Lands." As I'm 50% Swedish, I know my parents knew they were giving me a name with a royal lineage.
