Famous Names?
Sunday, 12th June 2005
I don’t have an unusual surname…this causes fun and games all the time.
My Dad’s name is Jim. This means he shares his name with a famous Thai silk company. People find it hilarious to buy him ‘Jim Thompson’ handkerchiefs.
My mother and I share a first initial. We’ve both arrived at the theatre before to be greeted with “Oh we thought you might be Emma Thompson“. We also share initials with a rather famous little alien… telling me to “phone home” is pretty much punishable by death.
My Brother shares his name with a phenomenon… and a serial killer I think…
What about you? Seen your name anywhere strange?

The main entity with which I share my name is a Canadian explorer ? at some point I am definitely going to have to go to Canada and take a look around David Thompson Country.

In grade school my name constantly brought little fig biscuits to people’s minds. And Google is constantly telling me I’m a past-life regression “therapist” or a mystery writer. But I’m slowly catching up to them.
