  1. ALISTAIR is a very rare male first name. Very few male first names in the US are ALISTAIR. Be proud of your unique first name!

  4. I'm like Al - but with a gender difference. Not surprising really for the USA - I expect it's similar to here. Of course, in any country that has a romance language as its official language it's a different story.

    As for Bailey-Mortimer...

  7. Wendy is at #115. My surname #119. Makes me balanced? Be careful, though. It is an American site. Our eldest has a name of Scottish origin that is somewhat common in Australia, but I've never met an American who knows the name!
