How many people are named Michael Cleverly?

Via Phil Windley's Technometria I found HowManyOfMe.com:

How many have your name?

That sounds right to me. The four Americans with the name Michael Cleverly that I am presently aware of:

  1. Myself
  2. An artist and columnist in Colorado
  3. J. Michael Cleverly who is (or was?) U.S. Deputy Chief of mission to Greece
  4. Michael (Mikael) Cleverly, also with the U.S. State Department, who is (or was?) positioned at the US Embassay in Helsinki

I suspect J. Michael and Mikael are related (father/son) although I do not know that for sure. I think Mikael was at BYU at least part of the time I was; I occasionally got mail & phone calls for him.

I tend to use my middle initial online to avoid all the confusion of keeping us various Michael Cleverlys separate (though—as of today—18 of the first 20 Google search results for Michael Cleverly are about me... :-)

I would guess there are others of us living in England as that is where the ancestors of modern American Cleverlys immigrated from.

There are 9,943 people in the U.S. named Matthew Smith. I guess I won't list them all. Suffice it to say 2 of us work on the same floor here at work.

I'm unique! There are several of me with the more common spelling of my first name, but I'm the only one with my *precise* name.

I'm feeling pretty special right now. ;-)

Uhhh I don't exist. Unless I go by Michael Hoff in which case there are 238 of me.

According to that site, there are only two of us.

I used to email an Eric Hoth in New Jersey, he was very interested in genealogy and wanted to know where my family line came from. I of course had him go check out the nearest church family history center and meet two friends who would introduce the church, he said he'd already been there and couldn't believe how nice and helpful they were there, and they let him use their stuff for free. The last time we talked was a few days after 911 - I just wanted to make sure he was okay.

I thought there were two other Eric Hoths out there, both in the midwest somewhere. But I guess the US Census doesn't know about them.

I once got a Staples receipt for another one of me sent to my old gmail account, I tried forwarding it a few other similarly named mailboxes, never got a response.
