Name's are hardly an efficient manner of tracking down info what with many people having the same name.  Probably isn't coincidental that many things ask for your social.

:yes: There are 5,000 people with my first and last name residing in the United States as we speak. Good luck backchecking through that. ;)

EDIT: In fact, there's more than one at the college I go to. Makes talking to advisors a real pain in the ass. :P

There's exactly one other person with my first and last name in the US.  He doesn't share my two middle names though.  So really I only have to hunt down and kill one other person.  Looks like you have alot of work ahead of you.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Only if my last name was a first name (never trust a man with two first names) or something like 'Raper'. Which would be cool sometimes, but annoying if you had kids.

Ide has a first name for a last name. It gets people confused all the time. His last name is Allen.

Yes. I hate my first and middle name. Jennifer Renae :(


Also, I am really curious about everyone else name now.
Actually, pretty names and a more rare and unique middle name.  :)

Renae sounds like a hick. :(

Is Hunter a common last name? I didn't think it was.

In terms of backwards names, I had a friend named Hollis Bruce in high school - the school was convinced he was dyslexic and kept trying to "correct" his name to Bruce Hollis. :lol:

But as a general rule of thumb, a TON of English surnames come from occupations. Hunter, Farmer, Smith, Painter, Taylor, as well as some whose meanings have been lost or just become very obscure- Kellogg(butcher), Cooper(barrelmaker), Wright (makes shit), etc.
