I inherited the surname 'Austin' so I am now known as Tracey Austin (famous tennis player years ago)
Do you have the same name as someone famous ????

My dad made up my first and middle name after a popular actor on a very popular show during the year I was born. Michael Thomas is my first and middle name and it is after the actor Philip Michael Thomas from Miami Vice (the black guy). Pretty corny huh? lol.

No I dont. Well, I share a name with an archaeologist (sp?). So no one famous. I once had someone send me a fax to the attention of 'Karen Carpenter' at my previous job. Of course, Carpenter isnt even my last name!

My name's Barry Dyke.
There's a famous actor by the name of Barry Van Dyke.
Most of you know him as the guy from Diagnosis Murder

When I did a websearch of my name a couple years ago, I found that I do share the same name as a famous person. (But I never heard of him!) lol

Not me personally, but the school I worked in last year had a custodian named Mel Gibson. He wasn't named after him either, they are about the same age. :)
