How many unique names are there in UK?

[ScouseBoy]

If you include middle names, how many unique names do you think there may be?

[Erato]

That's an interesting question.  As a starter for estimating the number, this website claims that the 2000 US census found "at least 151,671 different last names" and "5,163 different first names in common use."

If a person has three first names, it would be easier to be unique?

[ScouseBoy]

Perhaps what I should have said,  to clarify my question,  "Are there any combination of names, including a middle name)    which are unique?

Some surnames may be dying out, of course.

Of course there are!

Off the top of my head:
Fifi Trixibelle Geldof,
Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence Geldof
Phaedra Bloom Forever Cohen,
Astala Dylan Willow Geldof-Cohen
Peaches Geldof

Let's not forget Dweezil and Moon Unit Zappa......

I thought my own name (forename + surname) was unique, but I've found another 3 with the same combination!

But I'm the only one with my middle name - so I'm unique (I think!)

There are a few people with my name, but I have checked my OH and there is only one birth registered for that name and that is him, he has 1 middle name.  He does have a slightly unusual spelling of his first name (the person who registered his birth got it a bit wrong  )

my gt gt Grandmas name is unique,,,,if you search on the BMD,,she is the only one. No wonder it took me 4 years to find her birth certificate !!!   

Due to her surname being misheard,,or her mother having an Irish accent....she was registered as  Florence Ams b 1858 Manchester. Im still not a 100% sure what the real surname should be,,,,her grandmother and father are in the 1841 census as Eames.
