My brother and I shared an initial, so we were both J Surname (neither of us has a middle name). One set of name tags between us. I always thought having your whole name spelt out on your tag, as a few of my friends did, the height of poshness!

That must get confusing when people start sending you post. (And I did faunch after the tags with the names embroidered in a script font)

It wasn't too bad, as official things (like banks) normally used to put Mr or Miss or use forenames. Plus I generally got much more post than him, and pretty much all the personal/non-official post was for me, so there was an assumption that anything to J Surname was mine until proven otherwise.

Though there was at least one occasion when one of us paid money into our bank account and it went in the other one's, due to us having similar account numbers (we'd taken our accounts out at the same time, our parents having taken us to see their bank manager who made us feel all grown up and important!). Though this got sorted out immediately, and the first we knew was when the bank statement turned up with Contra on it and we had to ask what that meant.

Faunch is a new one on me! Had to go and look it up.

You're making me feel all embarrassed for having my whole name on my tags! But then I'm from Aigburth... which will explain all, at least to [livejournal.com profile] bugshaw. :)
