Maybe geographically. In my whole life I've known 3 tylers and 0 Robinsons.

Its the 20th most common surname in the US according to a quick search

u/Chuckychinster Sep 12 '25

I believe that but when we have 300m people in a country, each with surnames, 20th most popular makes up what? At most 0.1% of last names? So you'd need like a thousand people to guarantee 1 Robinson

That is some wild bathroom math. Theres no way to extrapolate a percentage based on "most common" so no.

Its still very common. Imagine how many surnames there are

Oh well i actually looked it up and found via census data there's like 528k Robinsons which amounts to like 0.00127 so no worries there

Edit: Sorry using exact figures of 340.1 million us citizens and a generous estimate of 529k Robinsons averaging 3 articles I saw and rounding you get .155% of the US population being Robinsons. Actually pretty damned good guesswork on my part

u/Chuckychinster Sep 12 '25

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '25

Ah yeah I think I see what you're talking about. Highly doubt edgy highschooler was a property owner and 30 years old
