For almost 3 years at Georgetown University, I dated a lady named Cathy, and her best friend was named Cathy, and her boyfriend was also named Bill Bryan. I had known him for many years before we met the two Cathys.
He was the younger brother of my best friend in high school, Brad Bryan. When I stayed with their family at the beach, he'd be Brother Bill and I'd be Cousin Bill (and just to confuse things further, Brad's girlfriend in high school was my real cousin, Mary (now Margo) Bryan).
But, as you know, the day after high school I got in my VW bus and drove off to California to be a hippy for the rest of my life. That didn't work out, so I went to Georgetown and met Cathy several years later.
Anyway, we lived in suburban Maryland, and we'd go down to Nag's Head and Kitty Hawk with our girlfriends, and check into a motel as Bill Bryan and Bill Bryan, no problem.
