How many people in the USA share your name?

How many of me?
There are 315,828,172 people in the United States of America. If everyone in the U.S. lined up single file, the line would stretch around the Earth almost 7 times. That's a lot of people. The U.S. Census Bureau statistics tell us that there are at least 151,671 different last names and 5,163 different first names in common use in the United States. Some names are more common than others.
Four. I talked to the father of a young girl with my same name. It says 94% of the people with my first name are male which sort of surprises me. It is frequently male, but females have the name too.
