Six Degrees -- a game of names

If you know anybody with the same name as anybody on this list, say so and say when and where you know them from. Then make your own list. We’re bound to get a hit before too many iterations.

These are real people that I knew as a kid.

Gerald Henderson
Wayne Patrick
Bobby Nummy
Errol Vick
Steve Cummings
Mike Breedlove

Kay Wadsworth
Julie Alexander
Sandra DeRamus
Carole Pierce
Jane Yarborough
Sylvia Paul

I assume you mean the same first and last name? In that case, no for me. Here’s my list; also long lost people from my childhood . . . .
Joelle Martinet
Brian Lee
Donald Whitman
Lori Benjamin
Jeff McIlhenney
Marjorie Babcock
Carol Bebber

Yes. First and last names, please. The other would be just too easy. I don’t really expect us to get a hit on the same person, but we should be able to match a name before too many passes.

I think I once knew a Julie Alexander, but since I’m not sure let’s not count that. Here’s some names for me. I tried to stay away from ‘regional-sounding’ names.

Debbie Wall
Pat Coleman
Jay Chain
Margie Fox
Jim Truax
Dennis Hilliard
Kim McCall

Ok, I’ll join in:

Barry Hill
Kevin Midkiff
Mark Moran
Jenny Hoover
Laurie Poyer
Valerie Frets

Michael Smith
Tom Johnson
John Brown
Julie Green
Brian Jones

Jesus! You’d think with such common names somebody ought to know at least one of these! But, honestly, I can’t remember knowing anybody with one of these names! However, I have known:

Joe Brown
John Smith
Joe Jones
John Wilson

These are so common, though, that I wager we all know some of them. Right?

Jennifer Wojtowicz(Johnson)

Teri May(Love,Deakins)

Leah Madore(Betts)

Susan Sellors

Mike Welby

Brad Stiebe

Pless Gibson

I knew a John Brown when I was a kid. It was at summer camp (in Montgomery County, MD) and I was probably about 9 or 10. All the girls thought he was really cute. He’d probably be about 36 or so now.

My list:

Cathy Mack
Jason Goldberg
Eric Armstrong
Justin Tate
Jennifer Larson

I don’t know any of the previously mentioned names. Here’s my list:

Christopher Kelley
Aneetinder Brar
Mary Davalian
Hazel Kim
Amparo Salgado
Shih-Young Kim
Samantha Davidson
Michelle Reyes

Joe Brown was one of my best friends from ages 12 through 16.
Joe Jones was a kinda crazy guy who lived in my neighborhood when I was a kid.
Michael Smith married and divorced a friend of mine.

Bruce Hammond
John Heim
Harry Holthause
Tim Steele
John Mangione
Owen O’Malley

Here’s some people I knew growing up:

Mary Ward
Anne Robinson
Karen Madgwick
Matt Byer
Robert Alexander
Sam Stephenson

Oh, and I don’t know any people with the names listed before.

Once I tried to count all the "Mike Smith"s I had ever known. I lost count at over a dozen. It’s a very common name here.

And, I had a good friend named Julia Green. Does that count?

I know a Mark Moran. Well, know of him really. He’s the brother of a co worker but he’s been in and out of jail and the rest of the family kinda distanced themselves from him. I’ve met him once and talked to him on the phone a few times.
Someone else mentioned Tom Johnson. I know one of those as well. I beleive he’s a lawyer in LaCrosse, WI. Never met him, but he orders stuff from my company so I’ve talked to him on the phone a few times. Anyone want his CC info, I got that on file.

I missed this until I saw Joey P’s post. I went to high school with a Mark Moran. Red-headed freckled guy who used to always wear a button up shirt that said, “It’s Friday – the weekend’s coming!” I remember him being a pretty decent guy.

Hit!
My 8th grade Spanish teacher. Openly Jehovah’s Witness with red hair and freckles. Probably one of my favorite teachers.

My list:
Patti Thorp
Melissa Sachinowski
Kristen Hall
Daniel Wang
William Warner III
Elizabeth Brennan

Did you see my post right before yours? Interesting coincidence. However, the Mark Moran I knew would be about 32 years old right now, and I doubt he’s been anyone’s Spanish teacher. :slight_smile:

So far, no names here ringing any bells for me.

Here’s my list (ages vary, I knew these people at different times/places):

Alan Springer
David Gott
Roman Palmer
Dennis Curtin
Julian Gore
Mike Partipilo

Kay Tokunaga
Kim Casey
Evelyn Kapolas
Dawn Agostinelli
Ina Taran

I know a Michael Smith - married a former neighbor. He’s a computer geek working at Johns Hopkins.

How about:

Jeanette Perry
Mary Wright
Dave Parks
Don Meany
Craig Taborsky
Michele Yanuzzi
Valerie Stevenson
Mike Pfeifer

That list includes former classmates and former Navy friends.

Finally a hit for me. I was in high school with a Mary Wright. Blonde. Smart. Shy.
