Each of us is unique in our own special way. Unless you're an identical twin, there's some physical trait that only you have, even if it's something as small as a freckle. Even if you are a twin, there's something on you somewhere your sibling doesn't have. What may not be unique to you is your name.

You may even know someone with the same last name as you that's not a relative. That's especially true if your last name is one of these 25 that are the most common here in Indiana.
