A friend asked me this the other day. I hadn't thought about doing it either. Until the seeds got planted in my head. So one day, I did.
Here's what I found. I share my name with over 750,000 people. I'm used to sharing it with one or two people in high school (as many as eight when I was graduating from college.) Some of the Marsha's spelled their names Marcia. A few were doctors: physicians, surgeons, pediatricians, psychologists, and Ph.D's, a couple home decorators, a few were actresses that I was unfamiliar with, one was an architect, and yet another, an interior designer with a website.
I also found my own stuff: complete with newspaper articles and editorials by and about me, high school photos, magazine articles, etc. I couldn't fathom how my writing dream turned into a "reality" right before my eyes. In a funny way, it also was nice to see what my "namesakes" had accomplished as well.
Other than Marcia Brady (actress Maureen McCormick of The Brady Bunch fame), I never heard of let alone knew a "famous" Marcia. In my mind, I always thought there was only one Marsha Jones. The day, I googled my name that all changed.
