I always think that if you know somebody's name then there's something slightly fraudulent about that person. Otherwise we wouldn't have heard of him or her.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It seems unfair that anyone can set up on Twitter using my name, or the name of any famous person, without any checks at all.
It's a horrible thing to have someone pretend like they know what you're about and call you a fraud when they haven't given you a fair shot.
It must be odd, being recognizable. I would hate to lose that anonymity.
I know somebody from university who's called Phil Collins, and I think there's something terribly unfortunate about sharing a name with somebody who either is famous or becomes famous.
It's funny to be discovered by a lot of people who didn't know you before. People always used to say, 'Do you shop at Home Depot?' or 'Does your kid go to such and such school?' They want to know why they know me, even if they don't know my name. I don't think that's a bad thing, by the way; I think it's nice to be kind of anonymously famous.
Being a known person is pretty much all I've known. I don't remember much of a time when people didn't know who I was.
Yes, it's my real name. I had to pull out my passport twice today to prove it.
The word of the mouth is a very powerful thing and you can say something about someone that is not necessarily true, but people will believe it and it will become a constant reminder and every time that your name is bought up, that will come up.
I can't believe that people actually know my first and last name. I think it's really, really, gosh-darn neat.
Vast databases of names and personal information, sold to thieves by large publicly traded companies, have put almost anyone within reach of fraudulent telemarketers.
