I have a friend in real life with the same first and last name(no relation.) Our mutual friends usually call me the Other Our Name since pretty much all of them knew him first and he’s older. Our name is common and there are tons of us.

I’m also the Doper formerly named **Ataraxy**. There’s another Doper named **ataraxy22**. I was the original.

EDIT: stupid homophone
