Is that Google's problem, or the problem of the people sending you mail? I don't think you can really fault Google for letting people mistakenly send email to your valid address. I managed to grab the first initial + lastname gmail address for my fairly uncommon name. I regularly get a small amount of mail indented for other people, but it's clear it's all the result of typos or other mistakes.
