Well... I've met only two people with my name, but since my favorite author's got the same name as I do and there's also a *shudder* politician (Not to offend anyone. I just dislike politicians, because the ones I met are always lying through their teeth ~nya.) with the same name so... 5 ~nya.

As for my vote, I voted 7 cause it is easy to find someone with my name.

Went with 5. My name itself isn't super common (although I did work with 3 people in 3.5 years with the same name), but it's also used as a nickname, so taking that into account, it's about mid-range, I think.

For me, it's pronunciation. If I had a nickel for everyone time someone mispronounced it...

It's at the point where I'm actually shocked when people pronounce it the right way the first time without me telling them. Even though it's not exactly a difficult name to pronounce, following basic English rules. >.>

Not even close!
My first name is more common than those three. And the middle name, is generally used with the first one. No more hints... :-X

It really depends for me. Around the world, my name isn't too common. In Israel, there are plenty of people with my name. Then again, Israel is a small country, so I think I'll go with 5.

my name is in the mid 20s on the name popularity lists in the usa and there are a fair number of people in other countries who have it as well, so i'll go with 7. people often call me by a shorter name that is similar (though not quite nickname) and that is also popular.

Assuming 1 means rare and 10 means common...

Name itself: 7 or 8
Spelling: 3

I've never worked with or been in class with another person who spells their name the same way.  No one in my graduating class in high school or college spelled their name the same way.  However, it's not like you never see it.  You just don't see it too often nowadays.

Considering, there were 3 people in my class that had the exact same name + saw others with a alteration of that name :x

I'd go with 3. Well, at least over here. Spelling itself doesn't matter, but reverting to the Latin form and allowing different spellings makes it a 6-7, I guess.
If  ;), :D, ;D, ::), :P, :-X, :o or >:D are attached, that paragraph may not be 100% serious. Seriously.

I'll go with 2. Never met anyone which shared the same name, not even if I counted alternative spellings... ^^;
