My married name is not particularly common (this is not the case with my maiden name, which is both a common Scandinavian first and surname). There's an artist in Canada with my name and on a few occasions old friends/classmates looking for her had found me (assuming that a Canadian could have easily moved to MI, just hours from the border).

Here's were stuff gets small-world. I looked at my name on FB and there is a girl maybe a year or two younger than my son with my name. They will be in school during HS, if not next year. She is also a patient at my allergist's office. She lives just a couple of miles from us.
