With both my first names I'm unique in Sweden, maybe on the whole Earth.  8)

You can speed in a Jag without getting a ticket anyway, because the cowardly cop cars only do 260 km/h. You just have to buy a Jag that does 300 km/h.  :viking:

What if the cops behind you radio ahead to other cops to blockade the street? Then you're screwed.  :(

My last name is unique and I am related to everyone who has it.

My last name isn't really unique, but I'm related to most people in this county who bear it, and it's a county with 1.5 million people.  8)

In whole Sweden there were 14 people with my name the last time I checked, but some spell it differently. My first name is spelt like in English, though I'd guess at least half of the Swedes who bear it spell it differently. In  the 70's, when I was born, international names and international spelling was popular. Now they name kids like old geezers and little ladies were named when I was a kid, like Gustav, Tilda, etc.  :-\

Yes, that's what it's like here...the names are either way out there or really from 2 generations or so ago, that would have been way uncool when I was in high school.

(did I just say 'way uncool'...I'm sure that dates me!)

I've never thought about it, but yes, I think I might be the same.

It would be possible that someone in a German-speaking country had the same name, but I doubt it. My second first name exists in German but is very unusual there.

I try, but my cultural references tend to date me too. On the upside,
I can be a resource for the young people when they have questions about classic rock!  :headbang2:

If you compare these maps of all my names, you see that it's highly unlikely that someone in Germany bears exactly the same name.

Only 53 people out of 80 million Germans bear my second first name.  :viking:

That's a really pretty map! It reminds me of a tree with its leaves beginning to turn in the fall!  :thumbup:

Crazy, I'm halfway to crazy
Suicide would waste me
Homicide would break me
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Oh, is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems
