Frequency of use of Trendalyn
Since Trendalyn is a made up name, it seems odd that more than one person (me) would have this name. How would I go about seeing who else has the same name?

I don't know how to help you research other Trendalyns but I will add that I actually went to school with a girl named Trenda. She was one year ahead of me and ruled the school. ;-)

Since Trendalyn is a name which has never been common enough to make the top 1000 list in the SSA data, you will have to try to search this out by Googling (or using other search engines) and seeing how many Trendalyns come up. That will at least give you some other examples. The state of Oregon has a website which gives the name of every child born in that state since 1961, and there have been no Trendalyns at all born in Oregon during that time. But I have seen the name before; with 4 million babies born in the USA every year, many purely invented names will be thought of independently by more than one set of parents.
