No one knows struggle better than a person with a unique name trying to spell it out to a delivery guy on the phone. They’re bound to get your name wrong even after you have spent the last 20 minutes, trying to spell it out for them. Sometimes, the results are hilarious.
Following are the things that happen to people with unique names.
1. People are always calling out your name wrong
Not just once, but every single time.
2. You are always prepared to tell people your name twice
“What’s your name again? I didn’t get it.” Yeah, I know.
3. Teachers always pronounced it wrong, multiple times
Even if you tried correcting them.
4. When people from customer care and other services ask for your name, you dread it
You are literally going to have to say your name 15 times before they actually get it right. T for Tamil Nadu, O for Octopus… 🙁
5. Even when you break down the spelling of your name, people write it wrong
AND pronounce it wrong.
6. Because of your ‘complicated’ name, you get tonnes of weird nicknames
And you’re not entirely happy about them.
7. You would raise your hand and say ‘I’m here’ even before they would take your name
Because they would pause to figure out the name they were reading out, and you wanted to save them time.
8. Often, your name is printed wrong
Be it tickets, boarding passes, or bills- it always ends up being really funny, or really embarrassing.
9. People that you have met only a few times ask your name over and over
Obviously, since it’s hard to remember it.
10. You have started getting used to people calling your name wrong, but you’re tired of correcting them
They’ll end up calling you something weird anyway, so why bother?
11. On the upside, people are always curious about the history behind your name
And more often than not, you do have a good story to tell.
12. And people often tell you how much they like it
*blush*
13. People with common names keep telling you how lucky you are to have a unique name
Heh. 😀
14. Creating usernames are so much easier
It’s easier to beat all the Rajs and Priyas and get an awesome username for yourself. Woohoo!
15. And the feeling of having a unique name is the best, ever
And you love that you stand out of the crowd because of it. 😀
