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.

Oh my last name gets brutalized. People want to pronounce it like school. You don't know how many times I've been called Mrs. Skull. LOL!!

We're the only ones in the Tulsa area as far as I know, at least that's listed in the phone book. By which I mean, there are none in the phone book, because we're unlisted.

I dated Steve for a couple of months before I realized his last name wasn't what I thought it was...I saw his mail.

We have a music store in CA (I want one of their t-shirts someday), a real estate guy in PA...can't remember what else. Professors, I think. And music related, as I recall, interestingly enough.

I haven't googled it in awhile...always kinda interesting, even if I also come across my own name on stuff I didn't know was out in public.

Oh, and there's a town in South Dakota with my last name. Yay.
