This was exactly my predicament. I now appear to be of Irish descent (instead of German) and there are likely 2 million of me in the state of Colorado. Before, I had not been able to locate another person with the same name as mine. Still, not having to remember military style spelling for phone companies and like for giving my name over the phone is worth it.

"OK, are you sitting down?"

I had a friend with a typical last name as a given name and a typical given name as a last name. It was always fun listening to him try to explain it to whomever was on the other end of the phone.
