When A Politician Trademarks Your Name

[DeadpanDoubter]

There's a college sports hero, a photographer not too far from where I grew up, and a Country singer who share my first and last names, spelled exactly. And they're only the beginning.

Which is weird, since when I was growing up, every chica I met with my name spelled it with an e, not a second i. Bah, I need to change my name anyway, it doesn't fit me (seriously, why would an atheist have a name that means "Christian"?).

Nobody quite as famous as Sarah Palin, but it makes it a little harder when you're trying to establish a name for yourself as an artist.

I searched my name on wiki and came up with nothing.

I know no one shares my name, as I fabricated my last name. My first name is also pretty uncommon in the States, and my middle name is nigh unheard of, though Google does return it as some people's last name. (For the curious my screen name is my middle name.)

My name is someone who is on the BBC and writes books.
