What's in a name?

Anyone heard of this new show on CBS?  It seems that celebrities exchange places with normal folks who have the same name as them, and they call it--wait for it!--Same Name.  Yeah.  So stars like David Hasselhoff and Reggie Bush are running around getting fawned over in SmallTown, USA, while the Joe Schmoes of the same name are living it up in L.A, New York City, etc.  So I began thinking, surely there's a famous Rachael Hoffman out there....or at least a Rachael Stone?  Let's google this.

1.  When typing in "Rachael Hoffman," the first result is found here: http://www.wctv.tv/home/headlines/18952649.html

Indeed, it seems that I was killed for being a tattle-tale.  However, other sources claim otherwise: http://forums.cannabisculture.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1413901   (GEEZ...)

So far, Me:1, Other Rachaels: 0.

2.  Secondly, I could be a pediatric specialist: http://pediatricconsultation.com/clinical-staff/rachael-hoffman/

 Me??  A doctor??!?  Saving lives and putting band-aids on knees??  Sweet.   (Score: 1-1)

3.  Also intriguing is that when one Google image searches "rachael hoffman," the first result is as follows:

I am a beer...kind of...

Score: I'm not confident it will be anything remotely inspiring...so let's switch gears.
Seriously.


Let's try Rachael Stone.

1.  Meet Rachael Stone, interior designer!  http://www.rachaelstoneinteriors.com/   After browsing her Gallery section, I'd let her come decorate my house....especially if she brought the cool light-bulb-inspired chandelier contraption.  Score?  Me-0, Other Rachaels-1.  (Damn.)

2.  Rachael Stone, photographer: she's...large giant huge tall, apparently.  Still, that's pretty hip.  See her website:  http://www.rachelstonephotography.com/

Me-0- Other Rachaels-2


Aaaaaand, finally, a Google image search.  Just because.

3.  Wait a second--that fourth one IS me!!!!  Yikes!  Oh, ye photos left over from the days of MySpace...

Clearly that bring the score for this round to Me-1, Other Rachaels-2.


So, what do you think about this Same Name show?  Too silly, too pointless, too....easy to google on your own?
