In my case, I am blessed or cursed depending how one looks at it, with having a very uncommon last name.

 

While I have a reasonably common first name, my full legal name makes me unique in NZ - I am the only person with those names out of five million people.

 

Worldwide, there are not too many people with the same name as me.

 

Put simply, if my personal details and information are part of an information breach and become publicly available, it is almost guaranteed that the information is actually about me rather than someone else with the same name.

 

I am quite sure that I am not alone in this regard, I would say there are plenty of other people out there with relatively unique names too.

 

 

Same problem here. I am the only person with the same first and last name combination in NZ. Let alone middle names!
