Stephanie Chan is a popular name.

I’m on Google+ and started to add all of the Stephanie Chans. Today I hit the 50 mark.

Why would I collect Stephanie Chans anyway?

It actually started when Marc decided to do the same on Facebook.

Then Maija decided she would race Marc.

So since I got into Google+ earlier than any on my friends, I thought I would give it a shot on the new social networking platform. So far, it’s been kind of fun. Some of the Stephanie Chans will interact with my posts. And the best part is you don’t have to wait for a friend approval. You can just collect them all! Which will help give me a more realistic sense on how common the name really is!

One thing is for sure. With that many people with the same name, I feel very lucky to have snagged the Stephanie.Chan username on Google!
