It’s not easy having the same name as someone, or something, famous. In Metro.co.uk’s weekly Hello, My Name Is… series, we’ll hear the funny, surprising and frankly mundane stories of people whose parents really didn’t know what they were getting their children into.
This week we hear from Jane Austin, whose parents didn’t intend to name her after the famous novelist – they just thought Jane was a sensible name. Although it’s spelt differently, Jane is often mistaken for her famous namesake, despite the fact she has been dead for over 200 years.
