Have you from time to time condluded that you had a common name? What might you do if you met another person with your name? Via the World Wide Web it is currently easy to meet people who go by the name you think of as your own. It could be theirs is a different middle name. It could be they spell your shared name quite differently from you. Quite a few people have people who share our names. On random occasion our doppelnamers might even take up work we choose. Take the baseball athlete Michael Martinez. Some could hear Martinez and confuse him with a high school athlete or perhaps a injured racing jockey. And there is also a basketball player Michael Martinez. When you converse with someone that mirrors one’s own thrill in sports and both discuss the athlete known as Michael Martinez, one should be clear you are talking about the same person! Most college professors may read about more than one college professor called Michael Martinez. There are a couple of professors of polysci named Michael Martinez. News writing is yet one more field known for having at least a couple of individuals named Michael Martinez. Picture a journalistMichael Martinez interviewing someone else named Michael Martinez. Isn’t that confusing or odd? If you believe this all unlikely, recall that “Michael” is often listed in the most popular names bestowed upon boys in America. Altnerate forms of “Michael” found in other languages around the world such as Spanish (Miguel), Swedish (Mikkel), and more mix in even more people named Michael. And the family name “Martinez” is another multi-language name. Across the Americas perhaps 20,000,000 people share “Martinez” as a surname name. The reasons why parents should christen their child “Michael Martinez” are pretty sound. We all probably meet people named “David Smith”, “John Jones”, “Robert Jones”, and “Greg Jones”. Maybe it is plausible that common surnames include “Jones”, “Smith”, “White”, and “O’Neal (or “O’Neill”). Oft-used given names include Michael, Jack, John, William, David, Bill, and Robert. Expecting parents reviewing names for babies do not need to be too perplexed. Our children probably have people who share our names and somepeople may eventually meet a few doppelnamers. But remember it is not the name our parents gave us that determines who we will be. Your choices, your friends and family members are someone’s life. One makes one’s own place in the world in a unique way. So do not fret over people who may have a name similar to your own. Rather, look at your doppelnamers as old alter egos whose lives might have been your ownbut for a tremor in the universe. Posted in Blog News, Education Info, History Lessons | Comments Off
