well, i saw someone having the surname "Tate" around. but since i only sport that surname on the forum in my stories, its no big deal. anyway, i d think that there are many more Tates around - doesn t mean we re all related to each other:laugh:( on the other hand - - - its bretonia, you never know )

about "carlos" too common to be unique. when i started on disco - i made a char named "Jericho" - was told that some LSF had that name for his BB - and so i just made another one - but Jericho is most probably much rarer than Carlos.

i d say - stick to your roleplay and i am sure you ll not be mistaken for the other carlos =)

Well, just like in real life-- people DO occasionally decide on a name others have taken before them...

Oh darn. Looks like there were already 66 people before me with the name Ace. Looks like I will have to be the 67th one...

[Dopamino]

When it's a name that has been used for centuries, I don't think you have much of a right to complain. However, if you come up with your own unique name (such as mine), I think that you are definitely in the right and should have ownership over the name, at least here.

Also This

and even this

So yes. If you don't count the website with the name that was around before you became a member of this Forum, I suppose your name is unique.</strike>

Yes, you are probably the first person to ever use that name. :P

They probly got the names off NPC and Carlos, Jose and DeJesus are comman names for NPCs

[Magoo!]

At least you guys don't have something so "kick in the balls" as Mr. Magoo running about. I can't even do anything about him.

That's not me in case anybody didn't know... Look at my sig. Carlos is really common... So is Jose... It's really just a coincidence. But I guess Mr. Magoo is too. Oh well. I still hate the guy, so I understand how you feel.
