If you would like to know which all streets and roads in America have the same name as you, check this public database of name of boys and girls at Weather Salad.
Alternatively, you may use the following direct URLs – just replace YOUR_NAME with your first name:
For streets with boy names (e.g., Jacob, Wilson, Alexander or Harrison)
http://maps.google.com/?q=http://media.weathersealed.com/data/streets/boys/YOUR_NAME.kmz
For streets with girl names (e.g., Ashley, Sharon, Vanessa or Catherine)
http://maps.google.com/?q=http://media.weathersealed.com/data/streets/girls/YOUR_NAME.kmz
You can currently find details of around 2000 most common first names of boys and girls according to the social security database. Thanks Ambuj for the tip
