HelpRe: common names in Age of Google (discussion)
in reply to a message by Paul
Even uncommon names are not as unique as we might think. You would think Jerry Sandusky is a pretty unusual, unique name, wouldn't you?
But there is at least one other man by that name, though he does spell it with a g. And both Sanduskys are/were involved with the NFL.
Another example: when the Oklahoma City federal building was bombed, an employee named Paul Ice was killed. There was confusion because apparently there was another employee named Paul Ice who was only slightly injured.
Two guys with the exact same first and very unusual last name, working in the very same building.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
