I think there's one other person in the country with my first and last name. In Virginia, as I recall.

There are few enough of us that on several occasions we've all gotten calls when someone with our last name passed away without a next-of-kin. Couple hundred at most, I think...though my brothers are workin' on that...

There's a set of people with the same last name as us who aren't related, somewhere in New York I think. And a winery in New Zealand. That's about it. My mother in law has a very similar name to me, and Talon's brother's wife has the same first initial. We found it vaguely amusing that to marry into the family apparently your name had to start with _.

I am still getting used to people mispronouncing it. My maiden name got mispelled a lot but never mispronounced.
