Name's the Same...

So, apparently there's a woman called Lisa Williams who has a show somewhere in the distant depths of the Sky TV menu. She sees dead people.

I'm used to the fact David Kennedy isn't a terribly uncommon name (there were three that I know of at my school, one of whom lived in my street). And having briefly had a boss who shared my Mum's name[1], I've got used to that as well. But, innocently flicking through the channels for something worth watching, this is the first time I've seen the name of an online friend in a context where it clearly isn't the online friend, and it's a bit of a surprise.

[1]Which didn't help me remember it, at all. In fact I'd think "No, it's something like that, but I've got it confused with Mum's maiden name..."

If I ever get published in the US, I'm going to add an extra initial to my name so people know I'm not *that* Lisa Williams!

Thankfully some helpful people pointed on LibraryThing that Family Bites also wasn't written by *that* Lisa Williams either.

My sister has Sky. That show always breaks her brain when she sees a trailer for it...

I thought it was you when I saw that programme in the listings too!

"A."? Just a thought...

I confess that I too have done a double-take when I've seen "your" name in the TV listings. Luckily (for my sanity), it's been pretty clear from the context that it's another Lisa Williams.
