The non-Lord Owen is known in his neighborhood as Loud Owen (he shouts a lot at his errant putter). So the confusion is understandable.

People are always wondering whether or not I'm "Kid Twist" the notorious mob henchman of the 1940s. I tell them that the other Kid Twist is a Gawker commenter.

@Kid_Twist:

I share your pain. The other Smitros was a ceramicist of Athens circa 400 B.C., known for his erotic work.

I'll never be that cool.

I hate when this happens to me, people are always "Oh, Prince Dolgoruky!" And I have to always tell them - "No, simply Dolgoruky."

...and then one can always amuse oneself with the two Aviv Nevo's (are there more?). One is an economist and the other is international man of mystery with 3 page profile in NY Times magazine. One wrote a paper with dubious intent that studied the fsbo business model. The other flies around the world and makes everyone think he's the bee's knees.
