lol I don't think anything is done.
Everyone has a right to whatever name they want as long as it isn't offensive!

It's not against the rules (and it is a fairly popular name), so nothing will be done.
It's between the two of you... if he/she is active, you could buy him/her into changing his/her name - or threaten to mass him/her, but that might not work (and you could get massed yourself). If he/she's inactive, there nothing you can do (well, unless you care to change your name).

if they are inactive go to the admin meeting and ask him to change it.

Admin Meetings are Every Wensday 10am Game Time and 6pm GameTime (its believe these will be the new times due to day light savings cant confirm this at the moment)
Btw ill be leaving this unlocked for now but i do not believe the account is active or even out to get you

as long as there is no connection between you, then it is entirely safe... even if someone asks admin to check you two for being multies... admin only does stuff to those that are similar like that, AND have shared stuff...
and with inactives, that isnt a danger... also, your IDs are so far apart there isnt much danger of being accused...
