    This one is my favorite:

    On the plus side, you know IMMEDIATELY it's a telemarketer by the half-second hesitation before saying your name

    Maybe I should NOT be reading the comments! This one " Biafra. Enough said! lol! And I just had to give my kids the names… Shabaka, Makeda, Che, Native and Jesus. Jesus is a girl and it’s pronounced Gee-suz not Hay-soos so you can just imagine all the hilarity that ensues on the first day of school, Dr’s visits, church…."

    As someone with a rough last name, and a husband who has a tough last name... YES YES YES ALL OF THIS. Holy hell I can't imagine CHOOSING to give a child a FIRST name that's crazy. You can have a unique or rare name without it being "uuuneeke" or fudged up or terrible.  It just screams "HEY! I'M THE PARENT AND I WANT ATTENTION AND I WANT TO BE SEEN AS CLEVER!!! LOOK AT ME!"

    10. You’ve definitely used a fake easy version of your name for making restaurant reservations at least once.

    Done this, many times.  I don't have an impossible name to spell; just one that is a European version of a the way most Americans spell it.  I don't ever bother spelling it out the right way at restaurants - or really anywhere else I'm not giving my name for some "official" purpose.
