Twitter user named Brett Kavanagh kicks off an impromptu support group
Existing on Twitter when you're notnamed after a controversial political figure is hard enough, but users named Brett Kavanagh,Susan Collins, and more have learned it's a whole other level of hellscape when your name's in the news.
As the world awaits the possible confirmation of Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, a Kentucky man named Brett Kavanagh tweeted that it has not been easy to have his name throughout this whole process.

Though the spelling of Kavanagh's name differs slightlyfrom the man who was recently accused of sexual assault by Christine Blasey Ford, on Friday he tweeted, "This is a terrible time to be named Brett Kavanagh."
Many people replied to Kavanagh by laughing at the unfortunate circumstances or sharing empathetic messages, imagining the hell he's gone through the past few weeks.
But several people who've also had the spotlight unwillingly shone upon them as a result of names like Susan Collins, Mike Pence, and more, understood exactly how Kavanagh felt.

Much like Taylor Swift, many of these unsuspecting people now cursed with unfortunate names would very much like to be excluded from these narratives. They never asked to be a part of the public conversation, but once someone gains viral attention it's very common for those who share a name to feel the misplaced wrath online.
Just look at the poor people who share names with John Kelly, Stepen Miller, Steve Bannon, and other members of Trump's administration.
Luckily, having the same name as a noteworthy individual in society isn't alwaysa bad thing.

Good luck out there today, Brett Kavanagh. And for years to come I guess, if Kavanaugh gets confirmed.
