Stephen D. Cope & the Others

For better or worse, the name Stephen Cope is quite popular. For a while I would keep a track of all the different Stephen Copes that pop up in the news. One day, I told myself, I would put together a list and have a chuckle. Let's see ...

Neighbours and relatives

One common problem I have is that my large family has re-used my first name a few times. So, I live near or am related to some of these good folks:

• Stephen Cope - builder and accordian player (cousin)
• Stephen Cope - ambulance driver (distant relative)
• Stephen Cope - spice designer (cousin)
• Stephen D. Cope - this one is me: pay attention

Further afield the family connection gets a bit more difficult to track down. But let's press on:

Europe

• Stephen Cope - chocolatier, Ireland (2013)
• Rev. Stephen Cope - Bishop in East Riding, UK (2007)
• Stephen D. Cope - director of a software company

Americas

• Stephen Cope - psychotherapist and author of books on yoga
• Stephen Dewayne Cope - possessor of Tramadol, Oklahoma (2013)
• Stephen Cope - football player, Alabama
• Stephen B. Cope - orthopaedic surgeon, Alabama
• Stephen Cope - relative of Sam Goodwin, Indiana
• Stephen J. Cope - relative of Sam Goodwin, Indiana
• Stephen Cope - musician, Utah

Further sightings

You can report any other sightings to me, or maybe if you get into the newspaper then Google News will hopefully send me an email summary.

Frankly, Facebook and Linked In make it frightfully easy to get a list of every single person with my name.
