[mike_c]

[philosophie_en_rose]

5. No. why associate your name with your IP address on that site?

:shrug:

[Radio_Lady]

12. Agree with you... too much risk.

Made me think of this link from the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union):

Check it out!

32. There's an easy way out of that predicament

try a bunch of phony names first, so they all get associated with your IP address.

Then sneak in your real name in the middle.

Let them try to figure it out...


"I'm paranoid by nature. But what scares me the most, is that I may not be paranoid enough"

- me

[hunter]

33. I actually find that possibility sort of amusing.

The window works both ways.

[DBoon]

40. because my name is already associated with my IP?

I have a static IP address, and I am listed as the owner of that IP in various registries anyway.

[Strawman]

Some guy emailed me once with the same name. Just to say "hey I have the same name as you."

[Connonym]

19. Zip, zero, nada. I have one of those GD hyphenated names

which seemed like a good idea at the time but if I ever remarry I'm taking back my birth name.

[MrSlayer]

[BikeWriter]

[Hibernias Daughter]

23. Apparently NOBODY in the nation has my name, including me.

:shrug:

Here's what they said (I copied and pasted) except for my name which I'll keep private....


There are 0 people in the U.S. named XXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX
While both names you entered were found in our database, neither was common enough to make it likely that someone in the U.S. has that name.

Oh well :-)

[Recovered Repug]

24. The curse of common names.

6,846 with the same name. I've met myself about 6 times. The worst was when a debt collector called looking for "me". Try convincing someone that the name is correct, the address is the same (apartment complex), but you're not the one they're looking for. Took three calls before they were convinced.

[marzipanni]

25. 260

Once a dental hygienist told me my name is the same as her Danish grandma's. There is another woman with my name in my town. She had an unpaid account at Penney's and they called me about it several times until I was able to convince them it was not my account.

[meegbear]

26. 25 and one of them lives in the city next to me ...

he wrote an article about working as a temp for Time magazine and I got flooded with emails for him.

[buddhamama]

[DBoon]

38. It lies!

Says only one person in the US has my name - but if I Google(tm) my name, I find at least two others important enough to be mentioned on "the Internets"

One is a post-Doc researcher in BioChem. The other is an MD who has gotten into trouble for prescribing medical marijuana.

I think I'm in good company

[blondeatlast]

39. NO ONE in the US shares my son's first name--and it's a common spelling

of it in his dad's native India.

Only 810 people in the US share our last name.

[Evoman]

41. Lol...just a little short of 1.5 million.

Very common name.

Only checked my first name...I never put my full name into any searches.

[Deja Q]

42. Nobody I know of has had my name... or any other part of me...
