Names

Here’s an interesting site that tells you how common your name is. For example it claims that 0.736% of men in the US (901,600) are named Brian, while roughly 0.001% (2,500) of last names are Arner.
If my math is correct, these percentages suggest there should be approximately 9 Brian Arners in the U.S. [2,500 (Arners) x 49% (males) x 0.736% (Brians)]. But only know of two other Brian Arners. Here’s one of them. I just want to clarify that I’m that guy so you’ll never make the mistake of asking me to sing for you. A few times I’ve received misdirected fan e-mails thanking me for my music or asking about a CD, and I get a kick out of it every time.
