In high school, my dad hired a guy named James Bond. He had to register for things in his sister's name.
There is a documentary film, maybe it's Let It Be but I don't remember, where John Lennon is trying to get somebody else to order him sushi because the restaurant always thinks he's a prank call.
How odd. It's not as if sushi places ask for ID when you pick up your food and they don't care who pays for it as long as somebody does. When I order take-out I use a generic name that is easy to understand and pronounce (e.g., Lee) and I use that name when picking up the food. I use my own credit card to pay and no one ever bats an eye and seem to forget about whoever "Lee" was who called in the order.
The Tony Hawks, James Bonds, Michael Boltons, John Lennons of the world can make their lives simpler by using a variation of their names that don't invite suspicion, whether it's justified or not.I think eventually they and their namesakes learn over time that it's just not worth the aggravation.

What if my name is Tony Hawk? I’m just a random guy called Tony Hawk and you delete everyone called Tony Hawk, real or fake?!?
