I used to get Raul Julia and Frank Langella mixed up, don't know if I ever posted that.

You guys forgot author Jack Ketchum.

OK I was temporarily going out of my mind thinking I was mixing up Rashida Jones and Rashida Jones but it turns out there are two Rashida Joneses, who knew?

how could you mix one Rashida Jones up for another if there weren't two?

I knew there must be two people when I saw the news about the MSNBC appointment but I thought I must have got the actor’s name wrong. Mixing up two names. But I hadn’t mixed up two names as there was only one name.

It strikes me that this thread is half for cases of people mixing up similar names and half for mixing up similar people.

It's usually both in my case. To wit:

Really sometimes it is just about the similarity of the names, isn't it?
