:iagree: That's the most common error in NICS checks according to several FFLs I've talked to. People with common names seem to be wrongly denied more so than those with less common names.
Maynard Tetlinger?

Jonathan Winters was taken to task, all those years ago, by Maynard T Etlinger.

My brother used to make up names, from childhood right on up and probably still does. We were sitting in the Fountainbleu Hotel on Miami Beach many decades ago when we heard one of his nonsense names being called to the desk over the PA, and a real person responded.

Another time the Boston police showed up at Boston College to arrest him for an outstanding warrant after he used one of his nonsense names that actually had a real person attached to it. He was able to convince them they had the wrong guy.
