I think only 3 people in the world share my first/last name combination. One of them has been convicted for possesion of child porn.

That's especially funny due to my interest in cryptography, and counter surveillance.

I have considered changing my name, but I am undecided. Advice?

Alternatively: you've got great cover for illicit activities. "It wasn't me, but someone else with the same name."

Though honestly, given the state of bureaucratic snafus, changing it might be wise.
