Yeah, I recently found an old junior high school friend online, just
because his name is unique- he never would have found me amongst all the
other "Doug Jones" entries. In some circles I've used the name Random
or Randome, and that made me memorable.

I tried to name my son "Corwin" back in 1985 but his mother dug in her
heels and he's yet another Michael (five of the ten boys in his scout
patrol are Michaels! Arrrgh!)

author.
