That would be great. I'm in the exact same boat. I've also recently realized that googling my name gives me someone else for the number one result, and that dude isn't even in the software industry.
I've always kept a fairly high degree of anonymity online just because I'm used to the old BBS days of pirate nicknames; but in places like here, it feels awkward for me to respond to someone by name, when my nickname is a misspelled word.

You say this like it's a bad thing. I would say it was great news. The likelihood that people searching for you being confused is significantly reduced.
