Obviously in the second case, where the guy’s cousin used his name, having a common name wasn’t the problem. I have a co-worker with a very common name who was nearly arrested once because someone with the same name was wanted for a serious crime. [name]Just[/name] remember to Google your child’s full name before you settle on it!
My brother shares his name with a criminal in Australia, which is crazy because we have a very unique last name in most parts of the world, but not in [name]Ireland[/name]. So to have someone like that in Australia of all places is kind of neat.
I always google name combinations just in case, but we have a very distinct Ukrainian last name, and an unusual taste in names, so I would be beyond flabbergasted should someone with an unsavory past popped up on google! The chances of that are so slim!
I have almost the same name as an American child star [name]Ebonie[/name] [name]Smith[/name] (I am [name]Ebony[/name] [name]Smith[/name]) and at my high school theres a [name]Emily[/name] smith but I am Australian so my mum had no idea
