#WhatsInAName: Meet 'Brett Kavanagh', one who didn't sexually assault Ford
What's the story
How common is your name? Are you bugged that you share your name with every third person around? Worse, some disputable public figure holds your entire name?
Then you'd certainly like to join Brett Kavanagh from the US.
Brett Kavanagh, who only misses a "u" from turning into rape-accused Brett Kavanaugh, recently lamented the fact he shares his name with the latter. Tch Tch!
Details
Man has to make sales calls daily introducing himself. Ouch!
While Brett Kavanagh didn't sexually assault a girl 36yrs ago (he's only 27), he tweeted expressing his plight over the same name.
Kavanagh works in the sales department of Goodson Clothing & Supply Co in Louisville.
Unlike Kavanaugh, Kavanagh didn't testify in the Supreme Court but has to testify to the numerous sales calls he makes daily saying, "Hi, My name is Brett Kavanagh."
Twitter Post
We totally agree!
This is a terrible time to be named Brett Kavanagh

Similarities
Both Kavanagh and Kavanaugh have same hairdo and like beer
Judge Brett Kavanaugh is an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.
Kavanaugh broke the headlines after an American professor accused him of sexually assaulting her 36 years ago.
Meanwhile, Kavanagh says he has no opinion on Kavanaugh.
"I don't know the guy. We've the same name, our hair is kind of parted in the same direction... Oh, and we both like beer," Kavanagh said.
Meet the others
Kavanagh is among the many out there dreading their names
Kavanagh's tweet went viral in no time.
And the best thing that came out of it was how others who shared names with controversial public figures related to his pain.
One Michael Cohen, who shares the name with Trump's former scandal-tainted lawyer, suggested, "We should have a club."
Looks like Shakespeare's 'What's in a name...' quote isn't going to be of any help here.
