The AnswerMug Challenge Series, Win Points For Your Name Edition:

How many letters in your (real) first name are there in common with your (real) surname?  Win points for the highest number, BUT, you have to follow the complicated rules below.


RULES
1.  This challenge is based on your current real and legal name. You are NOT being asked to post your real name, that information is private, we don't know your real name, so your honesty and integrity are key here.
 
2. If you have a middle name, nickname, pet name, stage name, pen name, alias, etc; they cannot be used as part of this challenge. Hyphenated names, either first or surname, can be used (Mary-Kate or Martinez-Gomez).

3. If you have ever legally changed your name, either first name or last name, you can only use one first name and one last name for this challenge.
For example, married women who took their husband's last name may choose between their maiden last names or married last names, but not both. Subsequently, with multiple name-changes based on several marriages, only one surname can be used here. People who legally changed their first names because of immigration or other reasons must also select one name, either the original or the new one, but not both. 

4. Letters that appear multiple times in one name each count separately, such as Sally Wellingham -- letter L = 4.

5.  The lowest possible score is zero (no letters in common), the next possible score is two (at least 2 letters in common).

6.  I think the rules are confusing enough: let's play. 


My score is 2.

    54. I'm not sure how the math works on this and, after seeing all the confusion about how to tabulate a total, I'm even more confused. I'm going with 54. Final answer.

    Just Asking, you have been warned many times not to wear the sports bra made of bacon and not to whisper sweet grammar nothings in my ear when you participate in my challenges, it's just not fair to the other players. I didn't want to have to say anything here in public about your attempts to sway me, but since you won't meet me in those low budget motel rooms any longer to discuss it, I have no other choice. Resorting to steroids to up your game is just as bad or worse. Please seek help before joining the fracas anew; 54 letters?  Please, Woman!

    Love it. 54 is such magic a number. You're in the lead. Please keep me posted when the winners round will be given. I don't want to miss out on more cheers. Mhmm.

    JA used performance-enhancing drugs to calculate her score and has been eliminated from competition. I don't believe it's such a great idea for you to converse with her, Sapphie, if you want to remain in first place. Birds of a feather, you know . . .

    No, no, no. I won't ignore her when I finally converted her to one of the team the other day. I don't treat my sisters like that. Sorry pal, won't do.

    Wait, how do I know you've really joined?  Videos or it never happened. (And none of this "silent partner" jazz; I want to see some action!  Cough, cough.)

    It's true. I admit it. I was on the bean, but everybody is doing it these days. If you disqualify me, you'll have to disqualify half your contestants and then where will you be?
