what's in a name?

I'd been meaning to Google myself for weeks and only just got round to doing it. Really shouldn't have because I've experienced something truly bizarre. Now I know I must learn to detach myself from my name, recognize that it is not the only thing that identifies me. You see, reading my name anywhere, I naturally think it refers to me. Just as you would think of yourself when you read your name, right? There must be so many women out there with my name. Well, there were 1,570,000 hits, anyway. Suddenly I feel less unique.

This had to happen just when I started to re-claim my given name. Damnit.
