I'm Unique, Just like Everyone Else
For some reason, I think there are more than 29 people who have my name, but I can't prove that. I know that at least one of them is a prolific author.

There are 291 people with my name - and one of them plays for the NBA. I'm the clean-shaven middle aged white guy who can't run and dribble at the same time, so we're easy to tell apart.

Welp, looks like I'm the only one of me in the entire country. I returned 0 hits.
Or does that mean that I don't exist?
Existential crises abound with these on-line quizzes.

74 with my name. Not very surprising, since that's almost exactly what I estimated some time back. I've crossed paths with a couple of them, in different ways.
And Alan, one of my high school teachers was an Alan Henderson. Bearded middle-age white guy; had a lot in common with Ned Flanders. And because we were here in the Atlanta area, he'd occasionally get wrong phone calls for the NBA Alan.

I'm beyond unique, I don't even exist! And there's only one of my wife! So at least, WE'RE unique!

David--when I first learned you'd be joining us here, I Googled you and briefly I wondered if you were really the guy who wrote "AREA 51: The Dreamland Chronicles"!
There are 90 of me, which seems too high given the relative ease with which I can usually create usernames which are a form of my name, without including numbers. Hmm...
BTW, the NBA Alan Henderson played at IU.

There only one, exactly one, with my name, as far as I have been able to determine.

Shoot, when I first moved to Newton, Iowa (population about 17,500 at that time), I was the third Gary Petersen there. The other two did spell their names "wrong" (sOn), but still.
