I see that I can generate name counts based on Surnames, however I have not yet been able to figure out how to do the same for Given names (including middle names).........has anyone tried this or figured this out ?
Thanks !!!

Do a custom report.
select only "Given name" and "Surname"
in options, sort by given name and then surname.
Select everyone in the database, or select by data field and:
Given name -- contains -- the name you are interested in.
Send this to a comma deliminated, "CSV" file and import it into a spreadsheet and do the math.
(the spreadsheet in Works wouldn't seem to import a CSV file, but editing the name and giving it a "TXT" extension made it importable, and into seperate columns already.)
