I would like to find out if anyone has this name. The name is not even in the name statistics web-site. There is no way to verify where this name ranks at all. It is not a made up name at all. The name is a greco-roman name for "herodias". “Aradia” is my child’s name. I would like to find out if anyone has this name. The name is not even in the name statistics web-site.

I'm sure the combination is pretty darn rare, though I've run into at least one other person on the net with the same first and last names, and there's a famous historical figure with the same first and last names as well. I have to wonder if my name is unique or not when you add my middle name into the picture, though. My name is the #416 most common male first name and the #255 most common last name.

Janet is #45, but Jan is #340 for women and #489 for men. My last name is difficult in that there are so many ways to spell it. (And the way I spell it is "very rare.") Of all the different ways to spell it, the most common was #6900 (which is the way my uncle spells it). Pretty cool. Janet is #45, but Jan is #340 for women and #489 for men.
