and found a very interesting website.
Go ahead and check it out: http://enrichedblog.blogpot.com/.
I was pretty surprised when I found myself not on my own blog, but on an evangelical one.
Interesting that the names are so close, too.
It kind of reminds me of my telephone number growing up. The last four digits of my number were 6922, whereas the last digits of the YMCA phone number were 9622. I don't know if that YMCA is still in business, but I do remember getting many a phone call for the YMCA. How frustrating it must have been for some callers. We'd occasionally have someone call, hang up, call again, all because they were switching two numbers around. Sometimes these callers were nice about the mistake, and others were a little more grumpy.
I wonder how many other things out there are innocent similarities?
I know there are some not-so-innocent similarities as well. One of my old roommates told me that she left out one of the o's in facebook as she typed in the URL, and came upon a porn site. There's no way that name similarity wasn't purposeful, I think. (Lesson: always be careful in what you type.) Honestly, I think that's a dirty trick and a sucker punch.
Anyway, let me know if you've had any fun experiences with name similarities. I'd love to hear 'em.

hahaha... Thanks for sharing. I got a kick out of their site. They even have a doomsday clock!!
Once, a couple of years ago, a very very very irate customer came to the bank. I was NOT the person who assisted him; I heard the story the next day. The only way to help him was to have him call a particular department. The phone number starts 1-888- but the person helping this man was so flustered they gave him the phone number beginning 1-800-. That number is an "adult chat" line. Needless to say we lost ALL that man's business. We chuckle about it now.... But we were pretty horrified when we found out.
