Just a woman who was found not guilty during the Salem witch trials. Same first & last name. Her daughter, also found not guilty, has my middle & last name.

There is precisely 1 other person. He is a big time Florida State fan and football booster type that became a sports media guy. Same name, same age, same graduating class year, just different university. We have never met.

No one with my first and last.

I am related to everyone with my last name in the US.

The only other people I find with my last name are in the Czech Republic.

I am Greek and a first born. So I have first cousin with the same first and last name. We went to school together he was older so he got to go by an "American" nickname while I stuck with my Greek Name.

My name isn't common. The only other person on google I see with my name is a guy in Iowa. We both happen to be firefighters.

Yes, while I was in college there was a female student with my name it caused both of us some problems at the financial aid office in the Pavillion and I would get feminine products in the mail 3-4 times a year.

Yes, next door neighbor when I was 6 years old in Alaska.

My fish year at A&M, there was a 5th year Army cadet with the same name who I got a lot of correspondence for.

Never met anyone with the same name in person again until I walked into a meeting in Sydney and one of the customers had the same name as me.

A couple years later, my company hired a guy in Melbourne with the same name and they sent me his corporate AMEX card to the office in Sydney. I should have partied with his AMEX card.

There is an Aggie the same class year as me who has the same first and last name. I've never met her, but I've received emails and other correspondence intended for her a few times over the years and I know for sure at least one person trying to reach me has contacted her.

Many years ago a doctor's office accidentally sent me some medical information intended for another person who had my exact first and last name AND birthdate. Fortunately it wasn't anything embarrassing and they solved the issue by putting our middle initials on everything after that and it never happened again.

One Sunday afternoon, I decided to walk on and play as a single at the local golf course. The starter paired me with another guy who was playing alone as well On the first tee box, we shook hand and introduced ourselves. We both thought the other was messing with the other. It was pretty funny. Even more interesting was that we shot the same score that day.

My last name is not common. My first name isn't common with men my age, it became a bit trendier in the late 80's and 90's, about 20 years after I was born. I didn't meet anyone with my first name until I was at A&M. There are 8 people on LinkedIn that share both names, and as far as I can tell being in my 50's I'm by far the oldest.

I'm picturing a Fight Club scenario here.

I saw a YouTube short where a comic was working the crowd and picked on a guy who had your name. The comic had a field day with that. I was like, hey another guy has that name.

*not a stalker, I have just been on TexAgs for 25 years*


holy hell that's great. And the dude NAILED the original post I made in this thread. I need to find this dude and message him.

Doubtful.

Not many people have the given middle-ish name Lysander.

Which may be why I am sensitive to parents giving their kids stupid names.

Being reasonably recognizable, and having a fairly unique name, people randomly contact me saying we have the same name, which I find strange, but, I guess, interesting in some ways?

Nope. Stavros and Steve. Stavros actually translates to Holy Cross
