I had a health care provider tell me that they couldn’t create an account in their portal because they already had someone with my exact name and DOB. They refused to accept that they had bad data in their system, but they did tell me the email address on file (probably a HIPPA violation right there) and I was tempted to reach out to see if there actually existed someone with my same DOB and First/Last name.
Fun fact, it’s already working this way. Within a birth register there can, for a given day, only one be person with a given firstname
