There’s a Donna Caron (pronounced like Karan) living in my community. In my junior high years I was friends with a guy named Joe Cool (junior, no less!). I met a Michael Bolton once.
My boss went to high school with “the” Michael Bolton (ne Bolotin).
When I was growing up in the 60’s there was a teenage actor on one of the TV sitcoms who had my same name (although with a slightly different spelling). It generated a lot of comments then, but not so much anymore.
My dad has a friend he calls the Unfunny Steve Martin, because well, his name is Steve Martin, and he’s not funny, but the other Steve Martin (the one who starred in The Jerk, Roxanne, and other movies) isn’t that funny either in my opinion.
I worked with a Michael Bolton, and I knew a Will Smith - neither of them the famous ones.
I know Jimmy Hoffa and Jimmy Carter…whose full name is James Dean Carter.
Went to school with Dennis (no, not that one) Miller
My former voice teacher is Jeanne Kelly (you might have to say it out loud to get it).
I, apparently, have the same name as a very Google-able female footballer in the UK.
My grandfather, who was a fairly well-known attorney in our area, was named Howard Stern. Caused quite the amusement for me and my brother’s friends when we were in middle school.
Not quite the same, but my second cousin once removed and his wife are named Bill and Monica.
I knew a Dave Thomas who was married to a former Donna Reed.
I also used to live down the street from Mr. Rogers who sold drugs. (Aside from being 40 years too young and having a different first name than the famous Mr. Rogers, this Mr. Rogers is a pharmaceutical salesman. So while he really does sell drugs, his doing so is entirely legitimate.)
My roommate in college was named Donna Mills. This was around the same time that THE Donna Mills had posed for a Penthouse pictorial. I remember hanging out with some guys on another floor and mentioned who my roommate was, and one of them flipped open the magazine asking “Does she look like this??” … um… not quite…
There was also a Pat Boone in the same dorm that year.
