    What can you find on your name?

    So for the first time in 22 years there is another with the same name as me in the USA. Hmmmm, she better behave herself!!

    Is that so you can tell yourselves apart :whistle: :)

    I have a very common name and I usually have to give my address or DOB when booking appointments or hotels etc to differentiate from the others. My son played on a soccer team one year and one of the other kids father had the same name :doh:

    I can honestly tell you I have never googled your name! :rofl: :lol:

    But as far as another person with the same name goes, just the other day a guy was telling me about his gramps being in the Navy and was taken into custody and placed in the brig with charges of murder! Finally got it straightened out and released. Another guy with the same name.

    A number of years ago, there was a prominent politician up here found guilty of corruption and put in jail, if you can believe that, and I have been asked on several occasions if I'm him.......................since we share the same name. Amazing part is that he was from the opposite end of the country......

    A friend had the FBI show up at his house once, and his name is not real common. Took a while to straighten out.

    There are many with my name. Same middle initial even, right in the same community I live in. What's creepy is while reading the obituary page of the paper, there's your name.

    I personally know of 4 others with my name. One time we almost got into trouble because of another with my name. I told him to quit using it. Another time we got a whole bunch of money put into our checking account. Turns out the fellow just went to the bank on his way home from work on Fridays and told them to put the money in his checking account. Dummies just brought up the name and put the money in. Trouble was, my account happened to be the first one pulled up! Interesting but I did return the money.

    There was a baseball player. There are 25 with my name on Linkedin; 5 on Facebook.

    Not sure, guess about 1/2 my age? Something about a counselor, which ties me into when my husband was getting emails mixed up with another with his same name, guess he's a psychiatrist, so not a far stretch that the new me is probably his daughter.
