In my first proper job, we had three Michaels in a department of six. Fortunately they went by the shortened names of "Big Mike" (the boss), Mike, and Mick.

Then in another job, we had four Anthonys in a company of about 60. So we had two Tonys, an Anthony (me), and a Stiffy (his surname was Stiff).

And my boss there was Brian Smith. Apparently, when he was in short trousers, there were four Brian Smiths in his class (of about 30 kids).

Cheers,
Wol

Me (David)
my boss (David)
his boss (Scott)
his boss (David)

From Engineering David

From Operations David
and his boss David

Scott opened the meeting by asking if he should change his name to David for the duration of the meeting :-)

Sounds like the senior management at the company I worked for a while back :-)

David Clark the MD, David Wheatley the Operations Director, David ... the Company Secretary, and David Geldart the IT manager.

Cheers,
Wol
