I am not famous, nor do i know anyone famous outside of perhaps meeting my local state senator (yes, i'm not super active, but i do give a damn and i do show up at the public meetings and rally's.)
My last name is rather well known, and i'm not used to that. Could be an aspect of the Gulf-Arab culture of knowing people's last names, but my last name is fairly well known.
I mean one time i met two young princes from Kuwait going to my engineering college (it's really not a big deal), and i didn't mention what city i was from i only gave them my last name and they said "ah... so you are from Al-Hasa". Now i'd understand if they broke it down to the region, i'm surprised they knew my families origin is from that specific city, and they are all the way in Kuwait.
and that took place in the USA.
