the Name game

[the guy in Control]

ok, this is not really a game, which is why i didn't post this in the Utter KAOS section... but anyway, i found this website sometime ago, www.HowManyOfMe.com, that uses US Census Bureau information to tell you how many people in the US share certain names... i just thought it'd be interesting to see how many people share names with actors/characters from Get Smart.. of course, it's not gonna do any good to search for "99" or "Chief", but i'll tried it for the ones i could to see what i could find...

• Don Adams - 385 people in the US have this name
  
• Barbara Feldon - 2 or fewer people in the US have this name
  
• Ed/Edward Platt - 99 people in the US have this name
  
• Robert Karvelas - 5 or fewer people in the US have this name
  
• Richard Gautier - 15 people in the US have this name
  
• Dave/David Ketchum - 103 people in the US have this name
  
• Victor French - 88 people in the US have this name
  
• Bernie Kopell - 1 or fewer people in the US have this name
  
• King Moody - 2 people in the US have this name
  
• Andy Dick - 7 people in the US have this name
  
• Elaine Hendrix - 32 people in the US have this name
  
• Heather Morgan - 607 people in the US have this name
  
• Steve Carell - 1 person in the US has this name
  
• Anne Hathaway - 31 people in the US have this name
  
• Dwayne Johnson - 729 people in the US have this name
  
• Alan Arkin - 1 person in the US has this name
  
• Terence/Terry Stamp - 10 people in the US have this name
  
• James Caan - 6 or fewer people in the US have this name
  
• Pat/Patrick Warburton - 5 people in the US have this name
  
  
• Max/Maxwell Smart - 12 people in the US have this name
  
• Susan Hilton (fake name given for 99) - 133 people in the US have this name
  
• Zachary Smart - 17 people in the US have this name
  
• Siegfried Conrad - 1 or fewer people in the US have this name

i could have kept going for several other actors, but i felt like i had hit most of the big ones... if someone wants to continue looking these up, be my guest...

anyway, i just thought it was interesting, and this also poses the question: do you know anyone who shares a name with an actor/character from Get Smart? apparently, they are out there, so somebody must know them!

also:

There are 18,308 people in the U.S. with the first name Thaddeus - well known as the Chief's first name.

aye, and 4 named Buck Henry, and 23 named Leonard Stern!

[colly]

well.....

There are 33,565 people in the U.S. with the last name Smart

[Shtarker]

Fascinating!

I wasn't sure if Shtarker was a first name or a last name, so i tried it for either way. "Fewer than 1,526" have it for a first name, and "fewer than 336" have it for their last name...so...whatever that means!

Incidentally, "There are 1 or fewer people in the U.S. named Shtarker Shtarker." ;D

i already listed the results above for "Susan Hilton", the fake name 99 gave to her fiance in "99 Loses Control"... here are the results for other aliases 99 gave at various times throughout the series:

• Melissa Westbrook - 49 people in the US have this name
  
• Greta Braun - 2 people in the US have this name
  
• Connie Barker - 110 people in the US have this name
  
• Bonnie Vain - 1 or fewer people in the US have this name
  
• Rosita Delgado - 3 people in the US have this name
  
• Helen Blake - 283 people in the US have this name
  
• Mrs. Stanley Maxwell - 79 people in the US have the name Stanley Maxwell
  
  they become a bit more difficult here, but:
  
  
• Miss Evans - 430,382 people in the US have the last name Evans
  
• Mrs. Livingston - 51,890 people in the US have the last name Livingston
  
• Miss Primrose - 1,465 people in the US have the last name Primrose

99 also used the names Conchata, Legs, and Ninna, but those are a lot harder to nail down statistics for... all the site will say is that fewer than 1,526 people have any one of those first names, and that there may not be anyone at all...
