Who else is unique in the UK?

Granted, there might possibly have been another arrive on the scene since 2001's electoral role but I doubt it. There were less than 50 people with my surname back then.

But I am the only one of me.

Is anyone else on DiS uniquely named?

I'm the only Paul Brown in the UK.

Honest.

Okay, I was lying. There are 2682 of us.

Re: Who else is unique in the UK?

No you won't, only being 18 now. Well you can feel safe knowing you will be unique when they start using a more up-to-date electoral roll! :-)

Re: Who else is unique in the UK?

There's 23 of me. I bet they're all in Wales, or at least Welsh in origin. I found some of them on google once.

Re: Who else is unique in the UK?

Apparantly I'm unique. I should be preserved as a national treasure, like Julie Walters.

Nope., 7 others with my name.

Re: Who else is unique in the UK?

Technically you're not.

You wouldn't have been 18 in 2001 so in fact there's another who's the one in that list.

Marco speaks the truth.

The website tells me I am unique, and I am not going to let Theodore ruin my day, by denying it.

I don't understand your second sentence anyway.

Re: Who else is unique in the UK?

Only 1 of me, and 62 in total who share my surname and I reckon I could account for at least half of those. Strange.

Re: Who else is unique in the UK?

I am unique and so is Mrs knees (I didn't even include my middle name)
My two sons don't exist either, so I guess its an electoral register search, I am pretty certain that Mrs Knees was unique even before she became Mrs Knees

Re: Who else is unique in the UK?

Yeah, if you read the site you'll note that it's based on the 2001 electoral roll. Anyone who wasn't 18 at the time of that roll (you're one of them) will not be represented on the site.

This one's for old fogeys only...
