The Namesake Network.

    /24-7PressRelease/ - June 09, 2007 - "You ever wondered about those folks blessed or cursed with the same name as somebody famous? Now you can check them out and their wacky stories," says Craig Dixon creator of myfamousname.com.

"For years people said I looked something like either James Bond or Sean Connery. This made me wonder about the whole look-alike phenomenon. Then I got inspired to start my new myfamousname.com web site for the namesakes. Some of those look-alikes have legally changed their names. We welcome them on the site, but most members were born with or married into their famous names."

"I started the web site strictly for fun" says Dixon, "but many members have indicated they would like to be considered for product endorsements, testimonials, and book blurbs. We welcome marketers looking for such talent as well as publicists and fan clubs with their own agendas. There's even a profile editing section called Celeb-O-Wiki for adulation and modest venting."

So, if you are one of the thousands with the same name as someone famous now there's an online place for you and your namesake. You can register, post your story, network with other celeb names, and if you're lucky meet and greet that very famous person. Or you might be chosen to endorse a product or give a testimonial.

"If you have always known that your moniker is as valuable as what's-her-name, now here's a way to cash in," concludes Dixon.
