My first name is Curry, and it's as strange a name in Sweden as anywhere else. To be precise, there are four of us in the entire country. If you will believe this: one of the three others also carries the same last name as me (Bäckström). We are not related, I don't know who it is but he's right there in the telephone directory. The really weird thing is that he some 15 years ago lived in the neighbourhood where I live now. There are people here who knew him and who can't believe they've met two different people with this (should be) unique name at the same place.
There really ought to be more of us, so please Russ, take the name Curry into consideration if your child is a boy. Oh well, it may be OK for a girl as well. You can try to persuade your wife to accept it after she's breathed some laughing gas at the maternity ward π

Then again, it may be easier for Russ to run a simple query against the database:
select first_name, count(first_name)
from players
group by first_name
order by 2 desc
π
-Ray.
-Russ
Originally posted by kirksey957i would prefer, at this stage anyway, to have people post directly into this thread. if i enter the names you mentioned there is no official record. also, if they post afterwards that will produce an erroneous result with skewed consequences.
Prad, did you want to hear individually from the person? On my clan I have a Rui, Fernando, Bryan, Tim, Aaron , Tony , and a Daniel. Some of the others I have forgotten. Also, you left out yourself and your family.
thank you for thinking of my family, but we haven't posted here - so we don't get in till we do!
besides, suppose i put us in and then we post afterwards several times! then the place will be flooded with prads, ranjanas and kyrons - we really can't have this sort of thing!
in friendship,
prad

i propose that anyone who wishes to volunteer their first name, do so on this thread. .
My first name? I prefer Fjord, but if you insist, you can call me Frans.
