I saw this coming back from a night out on New Year’s.

I probably confused everyone by insisting I had to take a picture!

I never thought he sounded Canadian, the British stereotype of a Canadian accent is that its just the same as an American one, at least in my experience, lol.

I have a terribly common name. I've even seen it in the credits of movies. (Specifically, I remember seeing it in Balto.) I've encountered somewhere between fifty and a hundred people with my name, no joke. It's probably closer to a hundred than fifty, at that. And none of my coworkers can seem to remember it. What's hard about a two syllable name?

Not only is my first name terribly common, but my *entire* name is also terribly common. I own the dot-org domain of my real name, as well as the gmail address, and every week I get at least three emails which are supposed to be going to a different person with the exact same name... but each of those different people is also different... there are SO MANY OF US!!!

Millicent and Llewelyn are both pretty common, met more than one person called it on both counts. Never met an Ozymandias though, lol.

I believe Llewelyn is originally a Welsh name
Odd, I know about 15 people named Ozymandias, and none of them go by the name "ozzy".

I received a phone call from the police saying that they had me in custody, and when they explained further, they stated that there were actually eight people with my exact name (first and last) in custody that night. And this was in my county alone.
