As you can imagine with all the vanity URL requests, if your name was John Smith there was no chance of getting it! It must be like trying to get a hotmail account with John Smith.
Some points I would never expect -
Maria being the most popular female name on facebook
The amount of X Smith in the top ten, who’d be a Smith?
Juan Carlos being lower than Joe Smith…
A Singh or Shah not in the top ten
No true Irish names in top ten, you know we are all slightly Irish
