Disconcerting, yes ... but I think it's a fairly common name. I saw it on a badge for a conference and thought "oh goody! I get to see him!" ... and, of course, it was the wrong one.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I know it is a common name, especially the last name. Our local Indian market is that last name, but it is still weird for me. My maiden name is hugely common, and I still find it disturbing when I occasionally hear the full name used on TV.

My maiden name is hugely common, and I still find it disturbing when I occasionally hear the full name used on TV.
My last name has suddenly become super-popular on TV the last few years, but though I've heard both my dad's and my brother's names (plus at least one uncle), mine still hasn't happened, at least not that I've heard (their first names are MUCH more common than mine). I don't think I'd care for it, at least not if it wasn't someone specifically named after me - that I might get a kick out of.

I knew Patel was a common Indian last name, but I had no context for the rarity of Sunil as a first name.

I just bought the same shirt that Sherlock is wearing!
Not the vest, though.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
All the more reason they should give me bigger parts, right? It's not for me, it's for ART.

Well, that wouldn’t help ME, would it? I would STILL guess who the killer is because I recognize the actor.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
But we would never suspect Trudy Booth of MURDER!
Well, not the first time, at least.
