16. Every day feels tragic.
“What’s your last name”
“Ansari”
“Oh it’s okay don’t be sorry, I just need your last name” https://t.co/OMyCMh2Dgm

17. People just guessing at this point.
Biggest problem with my name.
Being called Sheila probably. 😂😂
Or the fact that they read ‘See-ler’ out at my Masters Graduation. Not like that was a once in a lifetime thing for me, you know?? 😂👏 https://t.co/GvSbuoioqV— Cealaigh (Comms closed til 2022) (@CMoldenFineArt) January 21, 2020
18. When in Rome.
Last name pronounced “Four-NURE” for generations on #Detroit’s east side.
When @lori4nier & I began our marriage in South, Arkansans liked the French pronunciation: “Four-NYAY.” I kept correcting them until my bride said, “I like Four-NYAY.”
In my head, I still say Four-NURE” https://t.co/q4lAZq5sNF

22. Donna Summer’s life must have been weird.
Biggest problem with my name is people don’t believe their ears.
Me: Hi I’m Summer
Person: Hi Donna
Me: No Summer
Person: Oh Emma
Me: Summer like the season
Person: How do you spell that?
Me: S U M M E R
Person: Oh SUMMER! Is that your real name? Are your parents hippies.
Me: 🤦🏽♀️ https://t.co/sNoaBJo4XR— Dr Summer May Finlay (@SummerMayFinlay) January 14, 2020

24. How about just say it like I said it?
Same.
“Do you prefer Vicki or Tory or just Vic?”
“I prefer my name, which is the one I told you–Victoria.”
“That’s too long. Women should have shorter, friendlier names. Victoria is too https://t.co/6ULLPq7S1A‘s off-putting.”— Victoria Brownworth #RaiseTheMinimumWage (@VABVOX) January 10, 2020
25. Sucks to be one right now.
My name is Karen 😔 https://t.co/O4p38Yt6xs

26. What a name!
Everyone used to ask me what Clyde was ‘short for’. Eventually after many refutations I relented and said ‘Clyde-O’Scope’. So my nickname became Scope, which made me sound like Byron’s rakish mate, Scrope Davies.
