Networking with People with the Same Name?

Funny little thought I had. If my name was Tom Smith and I reached out to different bankers with the name Tom Smith, do you think I would get a lot of replies back?

If someone cold emailed you with the "connection" of having your name, would you personally respond?

Pretend it's not a super common name like Kevin Chen or something similar.
