    Reading some random book about a guy who went around the world finding everyone with the same name as him. (he also wrote a book on google whacking...name escapes me at moment)


    decided to see how many people around the world have the same name as me...googling has turned up a big fat ZERO

    sooo in desperation has anyone else here ever run into someone named Connla Lyons...if so inform them that they are not alone...and tell me likewise...

    (unless in a bizarre turn of events you know me already without being aware of my presence here on boards...)

    "Connla" What kind of a name is that? :D

    You should change your name to Paul or something if you want to be more common.

    Accidently found another Shane McCarrick using google a few minutes ago (on the google thread). To be honest, I'm not happy. I liked to be unique. Funny thing- I play games on the same server as the idiot- bet he was annoyed to find his preferred username already gone!

    I'm sure you mean "craic".

    Wouldn't it be sh*t to have a name like John Murphy or something? I mean, it shows a real lack of imagination by your parents - your 2nd name is already the most common in the country, so why make it worse?

    2,830 David Galvins in the entire world. Hey I'm a critic according to this. And I have a homepage. I have lots of homepages though. And when I searched in Ireland only, I got one of their addresses. That guy is so going to pay for taking my name. Wait, he probab ly had it first. Meh, there's only enough room for one of me!
