(Also, this is a lesson for the PNM's out there...you could be cut for something as silly as having the same name as someone.)

Yeah--PNMs, if you discover that you have the same name as another PNM, please do something to make yourself stand out. When I was asst PH advisor, there were 2 girls with the same name. They both went to the same pref party and only one got a bid. The wrong one showed up at Bid Day! We never knew why that happened and *I* had to go retrieve the girl and take her back to the dorm--we let the sorority go get the other one.
There is a happy ending here; that sorority ended up having a vacancy a couple of weeks later and they pledged the second "Jane Doe".
