No, but I did patent my birth certificate if that helps.
I don’t think that would work for me; I share a name with a minor figure in the film industry, not exactly an A list movie star, but his IMDB page is mostly correct and has a relevant thumbnail image, so i kinda wonder if he beat me to it.
On the same line of thought, I did once look into getting a 900 number as my personal phone line. I’d talk about my car’s extended warranty all day for 4 dollars for the first minute plus 1.20 each additional minute.
Well don’t just drop that and leave it hanging, what did you find out about getting a 900 number to use as your personal phone line?
That they’re expensive.

¿Where you at?
It is kinda nice seeing one of them blatantly admit that the entire idea is the skip out on paying for their actions.
Names aren’t directly trademarkable.
“Directly” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
Try opening a finance company called Marcus or glasses called Warby Parker.
You just need to do the kind of mess that lands you in the news in such a way that people associate Name+Trade Area with you and you alone.
I’m pretty sure that if Madoff had tried to trademark his surname for financial services before he croaked it would have been granted.
