I always wanted to know how many people considered my name as a potential child's name, but eliminated it because of me.

I'd want to see my stats compared to all the other sperm I beat to the egg. Like a table comparing our quality of life stats, how long we all would have lived, where we would have settled, how well we would have done. How different our lives were.
