I share an office with a coworker with the same first name as me, and that did confuse one HP reseller when we were both asking for quotes on different things at the same time. We ended up with each other's quotes. Other than that, we I haven't had a problem. Come to think of it, my department has a lot of problems related to similar names. I had an hard drive replacement coming for one of my arrays. It was shipped to my boss, but there are 3 people here with the exact same name; we'll call him John Doe. Our Shipping/Receiving people got confused and sent the disk to a John Doe in the carpenter shop, and it took a couple days to finally track the disk down.
