We have a student in our first year cohort called Muhammad Ali - awesome. I did have a 'bet you get some stick for that huh? conversation with him at one point.
I know a little of this myself. There is a famous UK professional cyclist who has exactly the same name as me (except he spells his surname differently) - and it just so happens I ride a lot of cycling events myself. *sigh* Yes this does attract a lot of stick.
I'm going to change my name of Chris or Bradley or summat...

Michael Bolton is so bad that I borrowed one of his CDs in order to judge his singing for myself. I could not even get past the middle of the first track without giving up.

I have the same name as an American Professor. He has grumpily emailed me asking me to change my email address because it's similar to his.

Tell him to change his. Just because *he* thinks he's more important, doesn't make it so.

Email addresses are tricky. I've run into that same problem, but I stubbornly held on to what I have.

"He has grumpily emailed me asking me to change my email address because it's similar to his."
If any grumpy Yank tried that with me he'd pretty soon find his inbox filling up with all manner of amusements. Ar5ehole.

Right!?
It's like he's just asking to be trolled. I could easily see http://www.27bslash6.com [NSFW:L] style email exchange occurring and being posted online.
