If you really want me to take notice of your fake job ad ...

... and consider it seriously, don't use the name of a fictional female pirate for your contact person.

No love

Rey.

It must be a real pain for people who really are called the same things as famous names. I had a John McCarthy in one of my uni classes, and people were forever making hostage jokes to him.

When I was working receptionist I encountered a salesman by the name of "John Paul Jones ...and yes, that's my real name."

I suppose it says something that more than a decade later I remember the guy's name. Can't remember what he was selling, but I remember his name.

My Dad used to do taxes for Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney.

Also, I have been accused of lying about my name :)

I went to school with James Bond, and Guide camp with Alice Cooper. Her parents were fans.

I didn't know Gunpower Gertie was fictional, but that would explain why the pirate stuff I've read has lots about Anne Bonney and Mary Reed but nothing about her.
