Have you ever met anyone who has the same first+last name as you?

[Mixolydian]

I have not.

 

[Dirigible]

Nope. Can't find any on google either.

 

[Mixolydian]

Then again I've never met anyone who has the same first name as me either. :hmm:

 

[Quasmo]

No but I saw someone with my exact car for the first time today, which is impressive since I've been driving my car for 14 years and over 220k miles.

I did at Math League back in high school. My friend was passing forward the tests and he thought he saw my name even though I was in a different row. To confirm I stood near him and had my friend call out my name to see what happened.

I eventually found him on the overall score list. He wasn't so great at math

 

[IronWing]

Like my dad?

Like my dad?

Nah, that doesn't count.

 

[DAGTA]

There is someone in NYC with the same first and last name as me. I sometimes get his email and forward it to him.

 

[Red Squirrel]

There's a few people around the world that have my name but I've only found them while googling, I don't actually know them.

 

[SSSnail]

No, but some idiot keeps using my Gmail address for his Facebook account and never even checked if his account is valid on Gmail.

There were 3 of us in the small city I used to live in. Met all three. When I was on a tour of a large company while in 6th grade, one of the other ones was paged. That was kind of freaky for a little kid. "Why are they paging me??!" When I was in middle school, one of them had his laundry stolen at a laundromat. It was in the police reports. I was ridiculed for being too poor to have a washer and dryer. (We did.)

I found a really creepy doppelganger of myself on Facebook. Exact same name, kinda looks like me with a longer face and rougher complexion, is even from the same town in Scotland my dad used to live. He's a game artist and all around geek too. Is younger than me though so don't get any ideas that my dad knocked up some Scottish lass. He hasn't been back home since the very early 80s. Long before I was born.

Another me is a fitness trainer in Queensland, Australia. Another is a frat boy bro from New Jersey. Another's a frat boy chav from Birmingham UK. There's about 10 me's in total on Facebook.

 

[Leros]

Nope. Pretty sure I'm unique.

A couple years ago my Dad was supposed to be flying into Denver for a hunting trip. He checked into an airport in about an hour from where we live. Checked his bags, got his boarding pass, and headed to the security gate. He gave the boarding pass to the guy checking ID's at the line and security guy looked back and said "Enjoy Boston". My Dad looked at him confused, and said, no I'm going to Denver. The security guy said, no your boarding pass says Boston.

Dad looked down and sure enough it was for Boston. He went back to the travel counter and started asking questions. They looked up his info, confirmed his first name, last name, middle initial and date of birth. Everything was right. They still had him down for Boston. Dad insisted that it was not right and he was going to Denver. They started digging a little deeper and finally asked him his address. The counter person looked confused and said "But you really are this person right?" And Dad said yes, but I live at this address.

So they dug a little more and finally found another person of the same name and date of birth with the address that matched Dad's.

He happened to be flying on the same day, on the same airline, in the same airport as another person that had the same exact name and date of birth as him.

Wow that's pretty amazing!

I went to university with 2 others with my same names, never met them.
I was in the Phoenix airport 4 weeks ago and someone with my same first and last name was paged to go to gate Bsomething about 15 times for lost luggage. It wasn't mine.

A pharmacist tried to give me another ironwing's heart medicine. I don't have a heart problem and the stuff would have caused serious problems.

Was it for your father? (IronWing Sr.?) :hmm:

There was a governor in NYC that had my same first and last name. Ended up meeting him and his family.

Did his wife ever confuse the two of you with sexy consequences?

 

[PowerEngineer]

Same first and last name -- and middle name. We both worked at the same company and often ended up with the other's mail and telephone calls.

I also was told that I had already checked in for a flight; it turned out there was another passenger with my same first name, last name, and middle initial. After getting that straightened out and making the flight, I started getting lots of freebies when I checked into the hotel. You guessed it. My "double" had a reservation too, and was a regular guest there.

 

[CZroe]

I am the IV and still: No.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Nope, although at the children's dentist I went to there was another patient with my exact name, and when called we thought it was for me. Don't remember seeing him though, so I'm pretty sure I didn't meet him.
