I legally changed my name two years ago and I still get recruiting emails addressed to my old name. It hasn't been on LinkedIn for equally as long, so I can only anticipate that my data was sold and my old name is cached in some database.

I've been out of the job market for almost 18 years and I still get a few attempted contacts a year.
