Wedding Name Double

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.

Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.

In May 2009, before my husband and I were married, we went to go and look at a venue for our wedding reception (Wilbraham Barns, Great Wilbraham, Cambridgeshire). We turned up for a 3 o'clock appointment and I told the events coordinator Simon that my name was Lucy Harrison and we were due to look around the venue. He looked a little confused and it turned out that another 'Lucy Harrison' was also looking around the venue at the exact same time! We introduced ourselves, it was very strange meeting someone with the same name as me! I did have to check that we weren't going to have the same surname after getting married!
