When I was married I was Linda DAVIS, and shared my name with a country singer.

Now that I am back to Linda Noble, there is not much out there. There is a Neurosurgeon and a few others of note, but nothing spectacular. But I am up there in the top ten, at least under NaBloPoMo.

This post reminds me of that scene in American Splendor, where Harvey Pekar (as played by Paul Giammati) gives a monologue, talking about his checking the phone book for other Harvey Pekar’s, and wondering what their lives were like. Great stuff. Hope you’re feeling better!

Cool idea and entertaining to boot. I’ve watched my name/site go from way up high, to down a few and now it’s back up to the top that I’m posting more frequently. I don’t know if I’m very interested in meeting the others with whom I share a name, however. But I am number 1!

That’s what you get when you have .com

The number 1 hit for my name is a chiropractor in Minnesota…

I have a common sounding name but not a common name.

Oh that’s funny. Here in Ireland you can tell which county a person is from from their surname. My Husbands name is Rod McDermott and a couple of years ago we were making our yearly visit to his hometown Sligo. In the local pub his aunt pointed out to me that my Husband was talking two men with the exact same name as him. You couldn’t make it up;)

It’s too bad you’re not a magician cuz if you were I’d ask you to make Buttars either disappear or become a humane being.

We who spell our name “Jon” with no “H” should band together and go on tour or something. We’ve been victimized for *far* too long!

And! Just today I became the owner of jondeal.com. The guy who owned it previously and had never developed it *finally* let it lapse.

Listening to it now . . .

If I Google my name, I don’t actually come up for a while, there’s a bunch of other people first. There is a girl in my city with my exact name who goes to the same pharmacy and Blockbuster I do.

This American Life is doing a show soon on John Smiths and at the end of one of their recent podcasts asked for John Smiths to contact them for the show. It sounds interesting.

Funny — there’s a woman who shares my exact name (maiden) and is an author. I’ve thought about contacting her. I also met a girl with my name who attending my middle school years after me; she was involved in the same activities, and similar interests and even sported my (unfortunate) teenage haircut.
