Well am I?

A hotel employee in the USA once told me that I "could be the only Gareth Slee in the world". He was referring to my booking details while we checked in.
I'd never really thought about it before, but having thought about it maybe he's right. My forename is fairly common in Wales but seeing there's only 3 million of us and 50% of that are women then not that many.
OK I've heard the name in England but not very often. Outside of that maybe there's a few in Australia and maybe other members of the Commonwealth but I think it's fair to say there's not that many Gareth's around.
I mean my Spell checker has just underlined my name and suggested Garth instead!!!

As far as my surname is concerned I don't think Slee would appear that often in telephone directories around the world either...

So... Am I the only Gareth Slee?
