He cannot be the only person named Mark Zuckerberg who is having this issue! I would think it's probably actually a very common name.
From the attorney with the same name:

> So they took my money, but then after they took my money, they shut me down for what they say is impersonating a celebrity, not using a true name and violating their community standards. And it’s the same message I get every time they shut me down.
> I think it’s offensive that a company that is supposed to be so tech savvy in the world can’t figure out how to flag my accounts and keep this from happening. It’s like they’re almost doing it on purpose, but I’m sure they’re not but it feels like it."

It's not very common at all. The 2010 US Census reported 218 people with the surname of Zuckerberg. I assume no more than a handful of them also have the first name Mark.

Is there a front-end that exists for searching this data? Just curious so I don't have to download the data and figure something out myself.

I don't know of any front-end, but you can download the data in CSV or Excel format, and load it into a spreadsheet to search, sort, etc.
It would appear that on FB at least, there can be only one.

Really goes to show how primitive moderation and such systems are.
We have lots of cool tech, but man moderation of all kinds feels so far behind the ball.

Daydream: Since the att'y Zuck has been in business for longer than the FB Zuck, the latter is legally barred from doing any business under his birth name.
