BTW, my name isn't particularly identifying.  I suspect there are at least
20,000 "Richard Smiths" in the U.S. To identify me specifically one needs
some other information such as a birth year and a Zip code.
Some of us aren't so lucky.

There's a simple answer - use a different name than your birthname for  
everything...

We should all call ourselves Richard Smith from now on...
