My name is rare and matched mostly by lists of the highest points of
elevation in each state (Mt. Frissell in Connecticut) and museum shows of
the work of a distant cousin Toni Frissell who was a fashion photographer in
NYC.  Most of the rest is mine.  If you have a common name/nym it would be
harder to track (except by searching for email address rather than name).

I have a similar situation--"Corgan" is an invented name, so it is quite 
rare.  Most hits on my name are either Cpunks archives at hks.net or the 
motherlode of Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins) stuff out there.
