ursulaJust in case you're not aware of this, the SCA registers names. The SCA guarantees that a registered name will be "unique": of course, the meaning of unique is a complicated issue, especially when we're talking about plausible names for medieval people.
This is a poll about what you think uniqueness ought to mean. This is not a poll about whether names should be unique, nor is it a quiz on the rules as they currently stand; it's a philosophical exercise.

2) No kidding. If you can't be bothered to defend your name.... it's lost.
3) Already doing that. If I EVAR catch the guy with my name I'll beat him at his game and take it. I had it first I can assure you.
