Do you share a famous name with anyone?

[fmoore200]

No, but I share a birthday with Charles Dickens

 

[Solarmist]

I'm also a famous basketball player, and was vocalist for Van Halen.

 

[Atoz]

As do I.

As to the original question, no. I don't know if there are even 10 people on Earth who share my name.

 

[BassGuyFL]

I have the same name as one of England's foremost fashion designers (he specializes in handbags).
Go figure.

I too share a name with a famous fashion designer with a slight spelling difference.

 

[iJazz]

My brother "is" a well known sports announcer. If people ask, "Are you related to '...'?", my answer is always "Yes, he's my brother." Then I wait a beat and say "Oh, you mean THAT '...'?" Gets 'em every time.

iJazz - I am not my brother.

 

[John Bigboote]

Not a real person, but there was a minor character in a movie from the '80s with the same name.

[jp58]

That guy ^^^

 

[Gazman]

This guy!

I also share the birthday and almost the same name of a Canadian racing driver (Greg not Garry)

 

[Roscoe East]

Frustratingly, I share the same name as at least two other professional bass players and at least two other record producers.

If I were a less ethical person I would not correct folks who often say to me "wow, I saw some of your credits, very impressive!"

 

[drerio]

No, but I share a birthday with Charles Dickens

My only claim to fame... Born the same day JFK was elected as the 35th president.

 

[HaMMerHeD]

Not all that famous, but I do share a name with this..."person"...

 

[Bob Lee (QSC)]

I do. That's why I grew the beard.

 

[stingray2112]

Hence your username?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Haha, that is actually the story behind my username. It was a nickname given to me by the guys in the fire department and has stuck with me ever since.

Since we are talking about birthdays I share a birthday with a famous bass player from the 80's named Timothy Gaines born on December 15th; he is a member of one of my favorite 80's bands Stryper!

THE YELLOW AND BLACK ATTACK!!!

I was the first person killed in the Mount St. Helen eruption

It honestly never occurred to me that it was possible for Stryper to qualify as a living, breathing human's favorite band. My entire world view has been destroyed. Thanks a lot.

 

[Relic]

I'm about the most "famous" person with my name. How sad is that

 

[Atoz]

I share my name with a 14-year old child prodigy guitar player...

Is he the kid who plays with Joe Osborn? He's pretty dang good.
