Meaning that there are probably hundreds of other people with your name scattered around the country/world.
So much for being a special snowflake…

Spare a thought for all the Eddie Murphys, Paul Murphys, Cillian Murphys and Roisin Murphys out there.
3. It’s so common that it can lead to some rather awkward mix-ups
