go on Facebook and lookup your namesakes. I was a bit surprised how many I have considering I have a slightly unusual name Actually you need FB , you can just type your name into a search engine.
yeah my name is super common. including a couple successful athletes and a doctor. which is great, it means nosy people have a hard time googling me.
i haven't been bored in longer then i can remember. i only get bored when i'm around a bunch of people, who all have each other and none of them know me all that well, unless what we're all there for, is something we're all interested in. like trains or computers or little furry creatures or maybe even just something good to eat. but making things and how to make things and stories about people figuring out how to make things that tell of their actual figuring out of it, these are what are not boring. people thinking their words, or any words, from anyone, are any sort of authority on anything, those are what is boring because our words are not reality. no words are. not what we think we are telling each other, not what we think each other are telling us. rocks and trees, mountains, the land the rivers the air, and yes even the things we build on them too, these are what is real, not our words about them, which are the illusion. well people can google themnax. it leads to an illusion in my mind. of course if they go to all the places, and actually read them, they might, from some of them, learn my mundane name, which i'm not trying very hard to hide or anything, i just don't use it, because i like the idea of the uniqueness better. yes i too share the name of an architect i who's work i like, an ocanographer, a quirky mainstream writer who died 30 years ago, an economics professor who was full of shit, the guy who invented the process for turning used deep fryer grease into diesel fuel, and half the people in any room, the latter being why i prefer to go by the one i've made up instead.
