My first name is the most common among teenagers according to Mark Reed's post, and I had a class with another Michael only once. (Actually, it was three times, but it was the same one each time) I've also only been a victim of the "birthday paradox" once, so maybe it's just that I live in a small town. Michael (I did have the same initials as someone else in my "gifted" class. The teacher would record special assignments by initials, but I messed that up. After a few weeks of thinking about it, she decided to add grade numbers in my case. I was in 3rd grade at the time, and therefore I am the original MP3 :) )
