So, I was just throwing out some paperwork; I usually go through my stuff once a year, just after I file my taxes and throw anything over 7 years old that I won't need (remember that there is NO statute of limitations with your taxes, so you MUST keep all that) but I was thinking like copies of my old electric bills, etc. It's going out.
Anyway, I ran across some things that I had printed out for my daughter's shower a couple of years ago. Her married name is very common, and so there were several ladies registered with her first and last name!!! My own name isn't that uncommon, either, and there are three of us by that name in my agency. We are always exchanging e-mails, "I think this belongs to you, because you're in the obesity prevention group" or "uh, this must be yours because it refers to Texas and I have Minnesota as my area."
I actually google my name once in a while just to see who is out there, and there's even a porn star by my name. :-P It's spelled differently, but still. . . It's one of the things that makes me NOT worry about facebook. My name is so common that you would have to know something else about me to find the right one.
Even my folks had another couple in my small hometown with the same first and last names of both husband and wife. Odd, eh? Anyone else out there get confused with someone of the same name?
