The data for this for uncommon names seems really off. My last name is uncommon, so the most popular first names shows 10 names, each at 10%, and my name is nowhere on the list. Searching on Google for my last name shows many results about a minor celebrity whose first name is also missing from the list. On popular names this probably evens out, but for uncommon names I appear to not exist here.

Yeah, I wonder about the data itself. A similar site shows that there are 230 people in the US with my last name, and I'm the only one here with my first/last name combo (there is apparently one in Canada). Also my last name is strongly Irish, and it showed no percentage of people in Ireland with my last name, but a lot in GB.

  Its based on the analysis of 45 million names on social networks so it can be biased towards people who predominantly are present on social networks.

    I am present and public on most social networks and my name is still not in this data set.
