Writer's Block: Same Name

i haven't met them but I know of at least two. There was someone with my exact name living in Columbus OH back when I did. She had a habit of going into Sears and JC Penny's and telling them to look up her name and use her credit (back when they would do this sort of thing) and end up billing ME and I'd have to fight to get that cleared.

When I lived in FL there was a woman with not only my same name but my exact same birthday AND all the same freaking illnesses I had. So every time I'd go to fill my diabetic meds Blue Cross (since we also had the same insurance) would tell me I just filled them in Tucson and I couldn't have them. this went on for a year.


Yeah I don't like people who have my name.

That's crazy that you actually had vicarious encounters with both of them. lol

I know, right. There are several more with just my first and last name since I gogled myself to be sure nothing weird came up.

My gynecologist has another patient with my same name, so they have to double-check birthdates before pulling my chart.

She may also be the same woman who lived almost, but not quite, where I did and had an account at Valley National Bank.

There was the girl who played "Holly" on the original Land of the Lost (I loved seeing my name on the screen every week) and here in Phoenix is another me who goes to my doctor but fortunately does NOT have my birthday or illnesses, so I can always be differentiated from her at Dr. Kim's office...

hahaha I never knew Holly's real name so that's cool

Geez seems like a lot of us live in the same city as our dopplegangers
