So my teacher once mentioned a highly influential politician from a powerful oligarchy in class and asked if I knew them. I just realized why: my full name is 80% the same as his. Did someone ever feel surprised upon hearing your name?

At least people will pronounce your name correctly. At least 90% of people pronounce my surname wrongly. It’s actually quite surprising when someone does pronounce it right. The last time was a French waiter. I was so shocked that I commented about it on my way out. He said the only reason he knew how to say it was because he’d had a manager with the same name.
