It hasn't happened to me during a sporting event but there is a reporter who is on the national news on radio every now and then with the same name as mine. There is also a doctor in Sa Antonio who was on the news a few weeks ago with the same name.

Is your name fairly common? I honestly thought I was the only person on the planet with my name

My junior year playing Navasota in the playoffs in baseball, they had a centerfielder with the same name as me.
Seemed like "first name, last name" batted every inning haha

BaseballUmp - had your situation in reverse. Was a kid playing safety for Alabama - I'm an oversized white guy - he was a very fast athletic black kid.

Happened to me once while coaching a JV game. Called out a kid's name, and it was identical to mine. My kids got a huge kick out of it. Strange thing is, my name is not common AT ALL. Infact, Ive never met someone with my last name that I wasn't related to, nor has anyone else that I know....other than this one time.

There's a (maybe retired) pro basketball player with the same name as my stepson. :)

There's not too many people with the 1st name of Wesley, much less people with the 1st name Wesley AND last name Yazell.

I'm fairly confident I'm the only one that exists.

I was amazed to find out how many people spell Kellye like I do!!

I put my first and last name in on facebook and was surprised how many people it brought up with the exact same name.

I guess I'm not as unique as I thought I was!!:(

I know at least 4 Wesleys off the top of my head. I also know some Yazells. But I dont believe any of the Yazells are Wesleys.

When I was growing up I didn't know of anyone who spelled their name like that. When I moved to Greenwood, there were 3 of us who did!! So, it's not nearly as uncommon as I thought!!

Up until the last couple of years, I had only met 2 other people in my entire life with the same first name as mine. The odd thing is that BOTH of those girls were in my high school graduating class.

That's what most people tell me, so it was odd that there were 3 in my graduating class. Maybe they all came up with it at a party in the 70s? LOL :thinking:

One of my best friends in high has your first and last name. She spells hers Kelly though. What is your middle name?

I believe I've only met 4 or 5 others named Wesley.

Who are the Yazell's that you know? My grandparents and some others lived in Brownwood several years ago. Some might still live there.
