About 10 years ago got a bill I did not recognize -- looked at envelope address - same first & last name with same middle initial - lived just around the street (same suburb) -- post man made delivery error.

I was at a family reunion years ago, and was introduced to my name sake (distant relative) with the same first, second and last name as me, at the time I was a mechanic on about 35K a year, he was a heart surgeon on about 10 times that.

How did it go Wedgie?

I chickened out and left the phone of the hook for the last 24 hours!
Hope he doesn't rock up on my doorstep tonight!

Jason Wood - federal MP for La Trobe - has a namesake who is a staffer for a Democrat Senator. The odd email has gone astray there. La Trobe's Jason is now jason.wood.MP@......

When I was learning to drive, there were another 3 people with the same name as me learning with the same instructor.

When I went to Uni to enrol they almost enrolled me in the wrong course because there was a girl with the same first name, middle name and last name.

I went to the Doctors once and she was given the records of an 8 year old that shared the same name as me instead of mine.

There is a gold medal winning swimmer (not Australian) that shares my name and I also played netball with a girl that shared my name.

You could say I have a very common name!

Cennals - I've also met a namesake of yours here in Loxton.

looking at your real name on facebook cennals I'm not surprised that there is several of you

[youngster]

My name is everywhere...

SturtFC junior coach, always in the news when Australian cricket scandals erupt, I reckon there was also a gentleman heavily involved at the time of the Ansett Collapse who also shares the same name. Did not know I had the capacity to be in several places at once!

I reckon he's going to be Nigerian offering you part of the "family" fortune IF you provide him your bank account details.....

Do know a guy by the name of Michael Moore who gets e-mails, including scripts that people send him for for possible movie ideas.
As you could imagine, not all the e-mails are positive.

[smac]

I recall in a former job, a new employee started with the same first initial and surname as me. They gave her my email address and we were both getting mail for both of us. Confusing times until it was revealed and solved.

When i lived in townsville for a while, my namesake was a very rich and powerful name, lets just say that a couple of occasions when i was out and people found out my name i quickly become his son, and just added junior on the end. Was quite a laugh and definately helped!!!
