📰A news story is surfacing on Mads Mikkelsen being denied entry into the United States because a meme of Vice President JD Vance was found on his phone by immigration authorities.
"About two weeks ago, a Norwegian tourist, named Mads Mikkelsen who is not to be confused with the Danish actor from the James Bond & Marvel movies..." the news anchor on MSNBC begins her report on the debacle.
Being a Bond fan 🙋🏾♀️, two Mads Mikkelsens is pretty cool. 😎 The name 📛Mads is a Danish variation of the name 'Matthew' (meaning 'gift of God'). Nameberry says, "Mads is a perennial favorite in Germany, the Nordic countries, and the Netherlands, where it is usually to be found in the Top 50." It was #33 in Germany in 2017 and #47 in 2019 as a most popular boy name in Denmark.
It actual isn't a novelty for a non-celebrity to have the same name, first and last as a celebrity. VICE has the fascinating article: People with the Same Names as Celebrities Tell Us How Much It Sucks and interviews name doppelgangers of a 📛Taylor Swift, 📛Kate Middleton and 📛Sinead O'Connor.
I can see why those who bear a celebrity's exact name, could find it maddening. 😤 Everyone wants to be an original and how can you if someone else already has your name in full? But it seems like it could be fun too at times. 🤷🏾♀️ Imagine signing into a hotel as Taylor Swift and getting double takes 👀 from staff seeing it's not the Taylor Swift before them. 😅
