This proposed achievement would be claimed when you successfully reach a set of coordinates in a location which shares the same name as yourself and provide the necessary proof.
This shared name can be any part of the point, such as a street name (John Street), a specific location (John F. Kennedy International Airport), or a village/town/city name (John o'Groats). The achievement could also be considered valid if the name was part of a longer word (Johnstone, for example).
Be as creative as you wish! Translations of names would count (Hans could claim John Street, Jacob could claim Israel) as well as names such as Amerigo being able to claim anywhere within the entirety of the Americas. As long as you can justify your claim in a meaningful way, the achievement is considered valid.
Proof would consist of an explanation of which part of the area is the shared name. The name is allowed to be your username if sharing your personal information is not your idea of fun. Identification is, of course, not required to prove that the name is your own.
