My Monday has been rather boring thus far so to pass time, I present:

HowManyOfMe.com

There are: 155 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

The info generator helpfully says there are another 1,105,275 people named Brian in the US, as well with 41,991 people named Jarvis. The former doesn't surprise me but I never would have guessed the latter.

It would be interesting to know. Come to think of it, I wonder how many Canadians are in the US currently...

A quick Google search comes up with 660,000 (University of Alberta study published in 2000) and 3 million (blurb for the book The Border Guide) on Amazon.ca. That number seems kind of high. It would mean that close to 10% of Canadian citizens live in the US.

There 156 people with my name in U.S.A.

I did a quick check to see if I could find something authoritative but didn't find anything which met that hurdle. I'm inclined to think the UofA number is closer to reality but that's purely anecdotal on my part.

I wonder how many *future* Canadians are in the US currently...!!

If you know what I mean.
