I have an uncommon name yet there are at least 4 (I discovered a new one today via Google) of us who share the same name and are all within 2 years in age. One of the other versions of "me" lives in the same state I grew up in.

Fortunately, none of us are too notorious, though one alternate "me" has pretty poor credit and another has been sued a couple of times recently.

I'm actually not sure why I'm unique, at least in Internet times (someone much older turned up in a search at one point). Neither my given name nor surname are that rare. But they aren't super-common and are from different European nationalities so I guess that's enough to collapse into a unique point.
