I did a Google alert yesterday, typed in my name and came up with a namesake in California – here she is the blonde version, whose name is spelt Elle Seymour.
Elle is a real estate broker and breeds horses. She appears to be quite dynamic, having won an Humanitarian of the Year Award. Her husband’s name is David, the same as my eldest son’s. She is also a “Blue Angel”, the name of her church choir – I haven’t earned my wings yet!
I wonder if we’ll meet up one day, that would be so bizarre. Have you met your namesake? Did you like the person?
I am “blessed” with a most common (I prefer ‘popular’!) name and have encountered or heard of many women with the same name.
My earliest memory of another Linda Jones was when I sat my 11+, thinking our results may have got mixed up.
There is also apparently an American soul singer with the same name and there is a lady who works or has worked as a journalist on the Racing Post – I sometimes wonder if she has ever seen my byline too.
Thanks so much Ellee for dropping by at You’ve got your hands full, now get some YouTubes on! Best wishes, Linda.
Would love to meet the guy who owns Boston Bruins and the geezer whose got jeremyjacobs.co.uk
Ellee, did you catch the eclipse last night?
if you ever do meet someone called Dominic de Mariveles, it will only be me!
lol Elle!
We can have one name sake or three
I wonder how many Will Smiths there be.
But more bizarre perhaps, is lookalikes
With son of Bush I never know any more
whether it’s the real Bush or the lookalike
And Saddam was said to have had seven or eight
I wonder if he’s in the south of france
and the poor guy hung was just playing a part.
Yes I have quite a few. I even received a postal package for one once who lives near by. ( One guy is a chemical weapons expert, another a STD expert doctor. )
Its a funny feeling – but just shows how large the world really is.
She looks quite a lady. It seems all ‘Elle Seymours’ are interesting people.
Apparently I’m the Director of Facilities at the Sandwell & West Birmingham NHS Trust, and also the Group Finance Director of Saville Consulting, and an Alfa Romeo racing driver!
Jean-Luc, have you met your namesake?
Does the blonde version know about you? I just did a google, too, and didn’t expect to find anyone as my [real] surname is unusual. But there’s a psychic medium and also someone in Russia!
Welshcakes, I must say these namesakes do seem to have interesting lives, you now have the perfect excuse to visit Russia and look up our blogging friends there.
I shall not contact my namesake in California, I am confident she will find me, someone will google her and come across my site and inform her. It’s much more fun that way, let’s see how long it takes.
I’ve just remembered about the two Richard Baileys I met in blogosphere too, one of whom I helped with some door knocking during his council elections last year:

There is only one person in the whole of America called Justin Hinchcliffe, so there are, at least, two of us!
What’s the history of the Seymour name, do you know?
Mine originates from Yorkshire (Harrogate, actually). There is a councillor Hinchcliffe up there – Conservative, thank God!
Not sure if he’s a relation. Must find out.
Justin, why aren’t you watching the Tottenham match?
I’ve no idea about the origins of Seymour, I think it is a fairly common name. I expect Julian Sturdy who I am working with for his parliamentary campaign and sits on Harrogate Council will know your namesake there.
Welshcakes, if your psychic namesake is any good, she will have tracked you down by the end of the day, her ears must be burning.
I didn’t know it was on (not that it matters). people are always asking me why I don’t support them. My answer? I can hardly support myself, let alone Spurs!
Self ‘Googling’ Ellee ? This does smack of desperation…She is American, so a little bit of translation is necessary, as they are all so vapid and eager to give a positive gloss on life :-
Broker – She’s an Estate Agent, because she isn’t bright enough to work in PR
and breeds horses – She probably rode a boy horse and a girl horse during the same summer and thought they might get on together.
She appears to be quite dynamic – Don’t all the bloody Yanks ? It is probably all bull$h!t…
having won an Humanitarian of the Year Award – Ellee, I have no doubt that you do stuff like help out in a hospice occasionally, or visit the homeless shelter over Christmas, but don’t feel the need to brag about this by seeking an ‘award’ to flash at people over the internet.
Her husband’s name is David, the same as my eldest son’s. – But she would probably swap him for yours any day of the week…
She is also a “Blue Angelâ€?, the name of her church choir – I can’t think of anything worse; please assure me you won’t try and join any of these hideous proselytising organisations.
I haven’t earned my wings yet! – Oh, Ellee, don’t you understand that you are seventeen times as bright and intelligent as this vacuous bimbette from the United States ?
I wonder if we’ll meet up one day, that would be so bizarre. – If you do, it will probably be less than 20 minutes before you think “I can’t stand being with someone so fake, superficial and ‘botoxed’ – please can I go home now..”
Ellee, sweetheart, you girls are all the same. You wish you were some heroin chic stick insect or some glamourpuss yank off Sex and the Desperate Housewives in the City, but us chaps have already twigged, having seen Helen Mirren, that attractive, stylish, intelligent English roses are infinitely more shaggable and lovely than the alternatives over the pond. Honestly.
I was waiting for someone to question why I had been googling myself. It was the first time I had tried out Google alert, someone had mentioned it to me yesterday and I thought I must try it and was amazed to find someone else with my name, it was as simple as that.
I was, of course, speaking tongue in cheek regarding the wings, I am too human to earn those. I do love singing and wish I had the voice of an angel though.
Nice to know you appreciate your local lasses and rest assured I am not planning to have botox and I am very glad you appreciate older women, real women too. I certainly have no desire to be a stick insect either. I love my food too much.
Curiously, when I did it, I came up with an alter ego who teaches a Year 2 class – but in Australia!
Yep, there is a Simon Cotter who is a canadian comedian!
Hello
I am the owner of jeremyjacobs.co.uk!
