hee ! well now you'll start looking out for it, i'm sure. let me know when you notice it. my name was somewhat uncommon when i was a child, but it's coming back into fashion now. it's really disconcerting to hear someone call you in the street and turn around and realize they were calling some other girl. i think all the girls named sophie and sylvie must be used to it but it's a new experience for me.

The weirdest name related thing was someone replying to a post I'd made on a mailing list - they started it by explaining they would only reply to people they could find something out about on the internet, and then proceded to give me a run down of what they thought was my academic career and subsequent employment. I never heard from them again after I nicely told them I was someone else entirely

that is really weird !! the whole point of a pseudo is to keep your crime-fighting superhero identity safe from the public eye !! what a lunatic !! (and actually somebody hunting down information about me like that would be my nightmare !)
