There seems to be noone in UK with the same name as me

see http://www.192.com/search/people.cfm

if you supply just the name, it comes back with matches.

Ahh but it only works if your name appears on the editied version of the electoral role. You wont find me on there at all

Danozeman - 17/3/06 at 12:04 PM

Having a Popular (re common) name does make it hard for people to find you - and I am keen to beleive that in this day and age thats no bad thing.

02GF74 small wonder the total anonimity with the username - Once they have your real name - sheesh they got everything

Anyone ever try the mobile phone locator.If so how do you get the mobile owners permission to locate them?

I mean imagine asking your girlfriends permission to trace her movements

muzchap - 17/3/06 at 02:11 PM

tony,

or worse still - her getting permission to trace yours!!!!

I'm also unique - but with a surname like Rigluth - I didn't expect many

there was a thing on telly recently about this, they send a message to the traced phone asking for consent before they start, then send reminders every few days. Apparently the industry is self regulated for now and there are doubts that they do it well enough.

Not quite unique - I have 6 clones

Liam - 17/3/06 at 03:53 PM

Hardly surprising with a name like 02GF74! Dont you ever want to be a person and not just a serial number?

Only two other mes! Funny timing this - as i'm currently being pestered by the friends of one of them who keep adding me as MSN contacts mistaking liampope@hotmail.com for liampope@hotmail.co.uk... annoying.

Years ago it used to be free....

andrew.carwithen - 17/3/06 at 04:32 PM

Only one of me 'n' all!

Andy S - 17/3/06 at 06:42 PM

Only one of any of us - - Even with one of the most common names in the land - One can still relax in the knowledge that one is still completely unique
