Interesting: “Nagu” (an old nickname of mine) is distinct enough of a name to identify me in most contexts. However, the name has another, distinct use as the name of a small municipality in Finland.

Ben noticed this when he saw the Flickr clusters for the “nagu” tag. You can see how separate the two clusters are, right off the bat:

My official identifier “Eric Nguyen” has way more namespace collisions; it’s funny to have that still be an issue with my weird nickname.
