I have mixed feelings on this one. I've read stories about families who have been pulled aside and missed flights because their infant child has the same name as someone on "the list". So in that case, I imagine folks like that would be grateful. As for me, I have a unique last name, such that I believe there are less than 100 people in the world with my last name, and none of them have the same first name as me. I am loathe to give out yet more PII (personally identifiable information) that they "assure me" will never get leaked. Yeah, right.
