Barista: Your name?

Me: Dan

Barista: Ben? Caffé Latte for Ben?

I have an unusual enough name that i get asked if its real :) and also, if people dont actually have a go at saying it, HOW to say it!

No lie this has happened to me three times.

Just make sure you always call them "Mr. B." They won't get it, but you will.

Love it, often when I give my name "Maebe" they ask, "Maybe? really?" and I love hitting them with, "Could be. Possibly." Always gets a good laugh and breaks the ice.

I still get comments on ‘Joysea’ but now just shrug and say I think I was conceived on the ocean… 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m a guy with the name Whitney it’s always some variation of “Like Houston?” “Picking up for your wife?” or “You don’t look like a ‘Whitney.’”

I got tired of trying to be clever and now I’m just annoyed.

Stealing. People keep telling me they never heard the name "marcelline" before.

I have a common first name but unusual last name. Recently gave my name to a call centre worker and she laughed and said "what a strange name! Sorry, you must get that a lot..." I replied yes, I do. She continued, "yes, 'Rob', like steal - oh no are you going to rob me! Haha!".

Such a weird call.

But I'm totally stealing your response to the more common comments on "Lavender" though if you don't mind. It's a belter.

I used to get “like Tom Sawyer haha” but thankfully no one reads anymore.

I get “like jake from State Farm” every time I leave the house

Today I got hit with the classic “Adam? Where’s Eve? Hur hur hur.”

emberdione.bsky.social•82 days ago

What the heck, that's not even logical! XD

thatbeardoadam.bsky.social•82 days ago

Does it ever have to be? lol

You’ve managed to ear-worm me. I shall return the favour (and I’m sure you’ve heard this countless times):

I had a frightening number of adults ask if i was the son of Satan before i turned ten. Thankfully The Omen didnt have the cultural staying power of Friday the 13th or Elm Street.
