I have 6 Peters, 9 Pauls and 12 Marks. I bloody hate it when one of them gets a new number and lts me know via sms but doesnt specify which one they are!(Why do people with common names get offended when you dont know?

definitely one of the most annoying things that happen..





Because, we want to think we're special.![]()
"He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!"
LoL I have 6 Chris's, 7 Amandas, 4 Brians, 4 Chrissys, 3 Corys, 9 Daves, 4 Dereks, 3 Evans.... oh god I need to clean up my contact list
I got to the point where I put the girls stage name then /real name. If its a DJ I put something like Keith Fox DJ so I can keep track of who they are. It hurts my head trying to figure out whos who...
Lol, I do something simular Cally. When I added a Paul the other day he was a bit peeved to see that I put the name of the bar I met him in next to his name so I knew who he was. I said to him "Well at least I didnt describe you like the previous Paul in my address book." The Paul above him has "annoying" net to his name
Silverback you would be special. If I had your number I would put a * infront of your name to seperate you from the crazies
Edited to add - I forgot to look for Davids - no Davids at all isnt that funny! On the other hand 10 Dans S-:
Goes off to see what the mot common Aussie names are...




Ahh I do that too where I put where I met somebody or how I know them after their name.
I have heaps of Laurens, Jessicas, Michaels, Daves and Stephs.
Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.





I think back in the old days they used to have these neat custom called last names that helped with this problem, lol. But yeah, I don't know a lot of my friends' last names, and my phone is full of duplicate names...
The only duplicate I have is Boyfriend and his brother. Yep, they have the same damn name. So, I put "Uncle" in front of his brother's name so I knew which is which. Other than that, I really just don't have alot of people in my phone.
I use first name only, then where I met them or where they dance/waitress/work. The next level is when two girls with the same name work at the same place, so I use physical characteristics, e.g. "Kristen, Hooters, blonde," or occasionally I will just use their last name in those cases.
My agent has the same first name as a dancer, and since I answer the phone in a distinctly different way depending on which one is calling, my agent has a new middle name, "Media." This also keeps me from inadvertently texting some really nasty shit right to the phone of my press agent.
That side of my life includes about 100 dancers/waitresses/friends/SWers, but then I never delete anybody.
The other half of my life, also dwelling on the same phone, includes 125 names or so, including JCS staff, Congressional contacts, IC analysts, national-security linguists and more journalists, reporters and producers than I can keep track of. Then there is my executive staff of 20. I now have over 100 employees in the company, so the days of having them all on the phone are long gone.
My phone has begun showing signs of severe mental stress and anguish in its attempt to keep my two lives separate.
I first read that as "Peters, Pauls and Marys."![]()
My second thought was, "I wonder how many Matthews, Lukes and Johns she has?" That's a mighty Christian firmament.

LoL TOO thats why I have two phones
I have one phone that is for work, its my HTC Touch... it has internet, email etc on it and its all my agents, photographers etc for my work life.
Then I have my personal phone which is somewhat basic and just has my personal friends and family.
I don't know how to quite put this. Hmmm.
There is something to the notion of consistency of records when it comes to what are declared as ongoing entertainment expenses (which are, well, very considerable) and what is used as the evidentiary basis to assure that you have a reasonable chance of passing that test. All records in one place, one trail, one account and one common balance sheet.
A separate phone, records and accounts for that side of my life would not even pass the laugh test. The IRS auditor would laugh so hard he'd spray hot coffee right through his nose. And I really hate to do that to IRS auditors, trust me.
I already pay solidly in the six figures in federal income tax, so it's very far from anything remotely like a tax dodge (sorry, that may sound snotty, but I'm trying to emphasize that it does not appreciably reduce my tax burden). If you are going to take any entertainment or meals and expenses deductions at all since the crackdown, though, you need to maintain consistency in your documentation.
^ No, Bond worked on Her Majesty's Secret Service and was famously underpaid. None of his toys belonged to him, of course, but were graciously provided to him by Her Majesty's government.





Oh right, I forgot. We have to keep that on the down-low.Of course, you're not James Bond. How silly of me. Did I say James Bond? I meant Jim Bob. Really.
I personally always thought that James Bond was skimming off the top of all that money he came across, building up a sizeable nest egg.
But there is only so much entertainment you can actually expense anyway.
What is the cost of a separate pay-as-you-go phone with unlimited texting? Pennies to the dollar, for the convenience. However, your system seems to work. If it ain't broke and its a tax write-off..hehe, you know the rest.![]()

So I had to make sure i didnt message the wrong one, since they would just get confused (as the names matched) rather than think I had sent it to the wrong person :-)
Theres no sense crying over every mistake,
you just keep on trying till you run out of cake
I have no one... Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, I’m gonna go & eat worms… :sigh: I need friends lol
Most common:
1. Variations of the name Michael
2. Variations of the name John
3. Variations of the name Jennifer
Its all the same name, some people use nicknames, others have the non-english spellings.

I have more than a couple Roberts, Jessicas and Pennys in my phone book.
I have a couple of Kates, Rachels, Sarahs, Sams/Samanthas, and Jareds. I don't have any triples though, and I normally arrange my phone by dancer name first, real name second so I don't get confused. It's alot easier for me to distinguish because most of the girls I work with have unique stage names.
I believe you Dottie and you have my support





I put the city or state name after them. "Paul Alaska," "Paul Billings," etc. People kind of like it when you give them that nickname, even if it is just to keep them straight.
