    I've googled my name before and realised there was another comper with the same name but I think she's from USA. I was gutted when I realised it wasnt me who won an expensive pair of boots! :D
    Other than than...I'm a roman catholic nun (apparently! :p)
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    No - I have a fairly unusual first name, so the name combination more so (though on googling when I didn't know if I had won a comp or not found there seemingly is or was at 1 stage someone with the same name in my county!). Strangely though for an unsual name there is a Canadian singer (not a well known one) AND making Googling potentially embarrassing an "adult" actress (Well that's not going to be her real name - maybe she saw my name somewhere and thought it would be a good name! :D)

    My Husband's name is the same as a famous racing driver who at one time was married to someone with the same Christian name as me, so I get lots of hits on Google.

    Well I really am fortunate then.

    There are only two of us in the UK with the same name- at the moment, but her first name has an e on the end.

    Don't know if she comps. :)

    I share the same name as a famous ex American Football player.
    I was in cinema watching 'There's Something About Mary' when Cameron Diaz says something along the lines of 'there's nobody as hot as Steve Young'. I spilt my drink on my lap!

    Been dining out on that one ever since! :)
