To: Matt Lockshin
Tell Matt: Release your stranglehold on the name 'Matt'!
Matt -
The world is full of people. 7+ billion people, in fact.
With so many people, most of us are stuck with non-unique first names. And as a namesake of one of the most famous ancient guys of one of the major religions of the world, you've got a lot of company (nearly 1.5 M just in the US!).
It's time to realize we're not always talking about you, and allow us to have free-rein of the name "Matt". I know you can do it.

Why is this important?
This is for all the "Matt"s in the world who currently can't be called "Matt" in Matt Lockshin's presence.
