Ever met your namesake?

[LordHaveMurci]

I went to rent a van to move house a number of years ago, the paperwork was out on the desk already filled in, the rental bloke was on a call.
Next thing, this bloke moves in front of me & starts messing wih my paperwork (even had my name on it!). Turns out in a small town of c8000 people there were two of us with the same name, in the same place at the same time renting vans to move house.
Luckily we weren't moving next to each other!

Must be other similar stories out there?

Didn't think this was a problem for blokes. In my circle there are several Daves all with nicknames, we have:

Big Dave
Little Dave
Boiler
Gay Dave (he's ok with this)
Jez

Simple.

A mate of mine was a techie in the RAF, there were 3 or 4 blokes with the same christian name, all the same rank so they all got nicknames, some more obvious than others!
