My guess is it's more of an irritation than a serious problem. There was a domme in the area that had a similar name as mine. I have gotten emails from prospective clients stating that they had seen me before when I was pretty certain I hadn't. Eventually we would figure out they had me confused with her. Which is insane because we look nothing alike.

Then again sometimes the name doesn't matter. I recently got a call from a guy that went on and on about how we had sessioned together multiple times - that I had even been to his house. At this point I knew for certain he had me confused with someone else. We finally figured out who it was and our names were not similar and we didn't look anything alike. Our commonality was that we worked in the same town and were of a similar age. Go figure.
