I have a relatively uncommon name, yet I've still come across two people who could be mistaken for me at first glance. One comes from the same county as me, and the other went to the same university. The former died 18 months ago in a car crash, so the first result for my name is now "[name] named as victim in [location] crash" (and there's a recommended search for "twitter" that uses my photo), which is a little strange to see.
