Do you know anyone who shares their name with someone famous

I had people who went to my workplace by the name of George Jones and Ed Sullivan, and have spoken on the phone at work with people named Will Smith and Vincent Price.

No kidding, I once worked with a guy whose name was John Holmes, and he wasn't even aware that he shared his name with a famous porn star from the 70s

i still know a John Holmes, he helped me paint my garage.

i also know a Holly Barry, but we call her Halle!

I worked in an office with a guy named Michael Bolton. Always complaining about his TPS reports.

Yyyyyyyeaaaaaah.... listen, if you could tell Michael that we need those TPS reports by the end of the day... that'd be greeeeeeat.

Office Space is an awesome movie.

no but my birthday is on the same day as mariah careys
not that we were born in the same year mind

I have a friend that often refers to his very dear friend "Osama". I've never met the man, but I'm told that he is a third generation Jordinian that is totally Americanized and preppy. It's gotta be tough when all of a sudden your name becomes a dirty word. I've said this before, but I wonder if there were any Hitler families in 1939, or Oswald's in 1963, that ended up changing their names.

Lee Harvey Oswald was the guy who assassinated President John F. Kennedy in 1963.

Are you nuts? Everybody knows it was actually Lyndon Johnson aid Bill Moyers that shot JFK from a hot air balloon. They've recently uncovered pictures of him doing it and everything.

That reminds me of the Beavis and Butt-Head episode where they're watching a Donny Osmond video. They said, "I heard his brother, Lee Harvey Osmond, killed a guy"...

A couple of days ago at work, I had a customer on the phone named Jermaine Jackson (Michael Jackson's brother). No, I did not make any references to Wacko Jacko.

my father told me about a girl called Janis Joplin Guevara haha..

I work with a Mike Hunter. Not quite the same, but I gives me a chuckle from time to time.

People have asked me if I'm related to the people who own Kenwood stereos and such. Weird.
