there are 36 people in the us with the name kristen bond...and one or fewer with kristen bloszinsky...could i be less than 1 person...some days yes, in fact, some days i'm completely invisible! at least to the kiddies
I believe they are using two databases: one database has only first names and the second has only last names - never the combination of first and last.
Based on the number of observations of your first name and the number of observations of your last name, they figure out the probability of the 2 names being together.
This site is telling you the probability of your name occurring which is how you can have less than one person.

There is one or less than one Jamie Soranno too.
Kristien, I was trying to figure out if I could be less than one person and after reading your explanation it now makes sense to me.
wow there are 19 Maryjo Miller's and 28 Maryjo Jones and I thought I was unique
There is one 1 Sonya Curcio
I've already met two other me's: one was a co-worker, one was a neighbor.
My dentist's receptionist shares my wife's name - and there's only 127 of her.
I can't imagine that if we were all so scarce I'd have already met two other me's and an extra wife.
mmmm.... 'extra wife.'

Hey, I forgot to mention that I know another "Kristen Bond", too.
cool...where from? maiden or married name?
my sister-in-law is "jane" bond
Kristen,
She lives in Whitehall - Bond is her married name, don't know her maiden name.
When I first met her, I thought it was you (pre-blog).
There were 5 Michelle Heist and 1084 Michelle Edwards and actually there is another Michelle Edwards that lives in Whitehall too.
