Ok, here is the deal: I am a descendant of a single survivor of the plague with a difficult to pronounce last name. His entire family was wiped out. He came to America, married, and had about 7 kids, who themselves had children so on and so forth. Everyone who shares my last name is a relative of mine. Smith I am not. Recently, I went Online and did a Google vanity search, and lo and behold one of my relatives has a child with the same name as I. He is about 6 years old now? I dunno. Now my life... she is a lie! Oh agony, oh Ag-go-Ni. Whine, whine, b****, super-soaker, moan, etcetera, etcetera.
That got me thinking...

Any of you out there share a name with someone interesting?

Any of you share your name with no-one?

Any of you willing to find and forcefully rename a child?

Any of you named John Smith? Bonus points if you have no middle name.


You don't need to give out your name to contribute, unless your name is John Smith, then what the heck are you worried for?
