Just a little bit of fun or nonsense here .
Your name have you seen or known about anyone else with your name.
For myself
1 A catholic school in Canada with my first and Surname
2 a serial killer in jail in the US with my first and surname or he was using the name.
3 Was watching midsummer murders on fox last night one of departments art or something and the guy had my first and surname.
4 there used to be a builder in the state and of course his business had my first and surname .
When I was in my teens I met a teenage girl from the ACT and her dad had the same first and surname as my Dad but different middle name.

Anyone else have anything like this happen to them .

Cheers

2 people living in a small country town - both have exactly the same name - but not at all related.
One being my grandfather and one being someone else.

Yes they did get the mail mixed up - quite often even !
I suppose even though the street addresses were different -
The post office people just saw the name and delivered it to the wrong house

As little kids we could not get our heads around someone living in the town with exact same name as grandpa ...lol.

The 39th President of the United States - he should have waited 8 years................

there is a reasonably successful singer(not currently though) in the states with the same first and surname as me, but i definately dont have any of his talent at all!! as he had hits some years ago i only occasionally have people mention the reference.

Im pretty confidant my familys the only one in Australia with our last name...and my first name being a very anglo name i doubt many people would have the same first name as me in the country of origin of my last name.

when i google search it im the only one that comes up with exactly the same name

Hey, that's what we said, we thought that with our family name, there was only the 5 of us in Australia and 1 left in Italy... until I googled my mums name for some reason and it came up with thousands of pages for the most sucessful travel agency in Germany!

Turns out he was a cousin or brother or something of my late grandfather that no one knew about... so mum got in contact and has been over to Germany to meet them since.

My name is so bloody common it's not funny But I have to be thankful in a way... my mother butted in after my father wanted to call me Brandy

Brandys a HOT name!!!

I know my family names from the Czech Republic...but im full blood English coz my dad took his stepdads last name. I really really doubt anyone in the Czech Republic has my first name...but you never know...someone might have wanted to give their kid an "exotic" name...or named their kid after one of the most popular movie stars...but im pretty sure we're the only ones in Australia with our last name coz some guy from the Czech Republic messaged me on Facebook because hes related to my dads stepdad somehow and wanted to know if i was related...

No DW. He said 'hits'... plural...

I'm guessing it's Boz Scaggs...

There is a Real estate agaent, a nightclub owner and a duty manager at that nightclub that all have the same first and surname with me which is pretty wired as my first name is only from a certian area in Italy and same with my surname and no we are not related.

I've got some squeezer from the US trying be my friend on facebook just because we have the exact same name.

Plenty of people that have the combination of a derivative of my first name and my last name.

In SA:

- A very well known SA football administrator, who has passed on.
- A farmer at Taylorville.
- A Barossa winemaker.

I had the weird experience of ringing the daughter of the Taylorville farmer once to set up an appointment, not knowing her father had my name.
The person who answered the phone told her my name and that I was looking to book an appointment.
When she got to the phone, she was non-plussed as my voice didn't sound like that of her father's.
Eventually she realised that I shared the same name as her father.
Once we'd sorted it out she told me she'd thought "what's dad asking for an appointment for, he doesn't have to book an appointment to see me?"
