One and Only

While visiting my friend Val's blog I came across the following. I found hers interesting and thought I'd try it out myself.



Well, I took the quiz above using the name given to me by my parents. In addition to learning that I'm a possibly real, possibly mythical, possibly misunderstood sea creature, I learned the following:

Your 'Numerology' number is 9. If it wasn't bulls**t, it would mean that you are multi-talented, compassionate, and impartial. A humanitarian, you seek opportunities to help others.
According to the US Census Bureau°, 0.001% of US residents have the first name '[bizarro first name]' and 0.0079% have the surname '[English origin last name]'. The US has around 300 million residents, so we guesstimate there is only 1 American who goes by the name [my real name].

Yep, I'm an original alright.

I checked out a few other variations of my name, like using the first name that I go by rather than the one my parents bestowed in combination with my current last name (W's), my original last name, and for jollies even with BJ's last name. Interestingly enough I preferred my original results to any of the others. Go figure.
