This seems strange—isn't Andrew one of the most popular names ever? More importantly, however, I can't believe any of this because my maiden name (from when I was a maiden, of course) comes up as a big fat zero, which leaves out my parents as well as all the aunts, uncles, and cousins on my father's side, a number that is at least 35 off the top of my head.

Apparently, there are 0 people in the US who share my first name. However, there are almost 72,000 people called 'Kristy' which probably goes some way to explain why so many people from the US get my name wrong.
