Like I even need to look...
Hell if I just yell out the window right now, "Hey Joe Smith!!!!" There'll probably be 8 guys and 3 girls who'll turn around. Bah.
Sea Change: Well, yeah, if you spell it with a "K". I'll bet the "C" spelling does a little better in uniquality.
little boys and old men from ireland share my name. that's what happens when you're named after your grandfather.
bam, bam, and many bams (one of them is my uncle)! Once, in Chicago, I got a package destined, I think, for the football player. My favorite, though not spelled quite right and with an unknown first name, is a character in Conrad's "Youth":
He had a Roman nose, a snow-white, long beard, and his name was Mahon, but he insisted that it should be pronounced Mann.
And so it is with "Mahan".
Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, and (because it's cute:) bam!
Oh dear. I may need to have someone bring this out of pretirement.
I researched this and found several interesting folks with my name. I've been considering creating a one-man show in which I investigate the lives of each. Including:
A famous 1930's jazz musician/composer
A Canadian MP
An Irish Catholic pedophile priest
A well-known Scottish footballer
A NASA aerospace engineer
A 14-year-old British dance prodigy
and a "fake" Vietnam veteran
Un-pretire this and maybe I'll do it.
I'll give a vote to any player who can guess my first and last name (who doesn't already know) based on the info above.
The really annoying things about the one person I've found who shared my name is that she A) lived in San Francisco and B) was the real-life subject of the film Girl, Interrupted...
...which I hated, but mostly because of Winona Ryder. She's awful.
Awww... I love Winona....
hey, where'd my shopping bag go?
Yeah, well I probably dislike her so much because she reminds me of myself. All the things that annoy me most about myself. Except for her finest moment- I never got caught for that.
Theater of Blood, Lank.
Just sayin'.

That's the only one on google that isn't me - it's some American kid that ran in an under 13s cross country race last year - Damn, I'm too rare a name...
Also, my SF0 name comes up with nothing but me and the REAL Haberley Mead, and my full name (oh how I hate it) comes up with NOTHING.
I love how the use of 'the REAL Haberley Mead' makes you sound like you're some kind of evil impersonator who's stolen the real Haberley Mead's identity, possibly for spying.
Also, I am apparently the only person on the internet with my name. I will give lots of votes to anyone who can work out my real name (and doesn't already know it) from the above information.
Oh, and Lank, I would have to go for your name being Joe Jordan.
The only person that comes up with more entries than me on a Google search for my name is a fairly well-known professional drag king.
Just keep saying that…
Eventually you might even convince your self that this is 'another person'
I did this on a grand scale one time:
Once I was going through a mild identity crisis. What does it mean to be BexTheHero?
I decided no one would know better than another BexTheHero (name changed to protect my alter ego). So I made a website to serve the needs of the BexTheHero community. BeccaTheHero.com (now dead). I sent a survey to all the BexTheHeroes I could find. I wanted to know how many out of how many BexTheHeroes had made something of themselves. Maybe if we banded together we could be a significant voting contingent or something.
It turns out the only thing we can say for certain about BexTheHeroes is that they want nothing whatever to do with other BexTheHeroes. (I am, as usual, the outlier).
Oh yeah, and I periodically get mistaken for a famous artist of the same name. Which sucks.
