So according to a search I just did, the Census lists 9000 people in the USA with my last name. It’s fairly uncommon.
My wife and I attended a very niche con in a different state about an 11 hour drive away 10ish years ago. Total number of attendees was between 2-300.
While at this con, I ran into someone about my age with my first and last name, married to someone with my wife’s first name. We found out because the hotel was super fucking confused when we tried to check in twice.
It’s literally the only time I’ve met someone with my own last name that I wasn’t related to. It is the most bizarre coincidence of my life. It was a little too astounding to be unhappy about, but it felt like a glitch in the matrix.
I go through life hoping he never winds up in the news for the wrong reason.

As someone with an even rarer name, I would be so freaked out and probably a little bit unhappy about it if this came up for me.
