It's a weirdly American thing. Not sure about Canada but it's unheard of in the rest of the Anglosphere. Would be considered a very weird thing to do here. From an outsider's perspective, there's an obvious downside in that it creates confusion about who is meant when that name is used. And I'm struggling for upsides that don't involve a mild case of narcissism. So it seems like a weird thing to do to me, but I'm aware it's reasonably common.
