I’m pretty much unique in spite of not having an obviously unusual name. Sufficiently mixed countries I guess.

The thing that seems vaguely scary is having a fairly unusual name that’s shared by someone notorious who is plausibly you. I knew someone who shared a name with someone else who lived in NYC and was the object of considerable local hatred. The gut I knew literally got death threats on his phone.
