As you might guess I have been made aware of this fact before :-). 
Fortunately, my middle name is not David. It is quite a common name 
(Chapman meant itinerant salesman). I once read about an actor named 
Mark Chapman who was hired under a stage name to play John Lennon in 
a TV movie until they found out his real name.
