There were 220,000 Murphys in the US in the 1970 census and 27 Robert Murphys in the phone book in my native San Francisco when I left there in 1973.
And I dropped my middle name to make it just that little bit harder for people who don’t know me to find me. I just like being where I am at the time without dragging around a whole lot of baggage.
Google is a glorious thing. Friends from various periods of my life find me easily by adding a few recognition factors to my name but cold callers simply can’t do it.
