    I cannot believe I haven't heard of this before!! Perhaps I will go next year. That number seems incredibly small for the sheer number of Elizabeths even in the US alone. I knew of 9 other Elizabeths at my high school, and since it was a big school I am SURE there were at least a few more.

    Yay! I'm an Elizabeth, but I'm usually called something else. I'll totally go to the Elizabeth convention.

    What about Thirty Helens? There's probably not that many Helens anymore. And if there's thirty, and they all agree...Then we have the phenomenon known as Thirty Helens Agree.


    Sorry. Oh and Elizabeth is my middle name.

    A little bit of Elizabeth in my life

    A little bit of Eliza by my side

    A little bit of Betsy's all I need

    A little bit of Libby's what I see

    A little bit of Liza in the sun

    A little bit of Lizzie all night long

    A little bit of Bitsy here I am

    A little bit of Liz makes me your man.

    I've always been thankful for having a fairly uncommon name. I don't think I'll meet 363 other people with my name in my lifetime.

    @BellaNotte: i searched a name database two years ago to find out how many people in the u.s. share a name with me, only to discover that i am (or was... maybe i'm not now) the ONLY person in the u.s. with my name.


    to be fair, that's first and last and i have an odd last name. still though... it's weird!

    I've loved Bette Midler ever since my mom and I watched "For the boys" together and she dragged me to the CD store and started singing "In my life" because she loved it so much and wanted to have it on CD but didn't know where to find it, and the guy at the store didn't know what hit him and I was mortified but in the end we went home with "Experience the Divine" and Ms Midler never left me since.
