All of my family members named their kids with the same first innitial.

James, Jenny, Jill, Jess, Joe etc...

I'm the only M (mmmmmmmmmmmmmm)

Goodness! I'm not alone:

Jonathan, Jason, Jim, Judy, aunts Jane & Janice, uncle John...grampa...Gerry (close enough).

What's worse...in my home town, there was another family with exactly the same given names as mine. In a town of like, 2000 ppl.

My useless fact (other than that): I've been on Homegrown cafe and JJ Clarke is much bigger than you realize.
