    There are exactly two people in the United States with the same Last, Middle, and First Name as me (It’s actually still true if you leave out the middle name). The other one is a few years younger than me, and when we were both somewhere in our 20’s (quite long ago), the other one had a bit of trouble paying his bills. Given the unusual name, I had a few interesting calls trying to convince some really unhappy creditors that they weren’t me.

    A few years later they sold spices, and the multi level marketing spice company really had a problem distinguishing between us. They married someone whose first name is one letter different than my spouse.

    Now the biggest problem is they are an elected politician. The good news is they moved to a coast, and I still live in the midwest. If they became more infamous, I would change my name.
