I have a unusual first name... it was a source of dread and embarrassment in grade school because it was similar to a local restaurants name I was made fun of till High School.. Then girls discovered they liked the “unusualness” of it and I took full advantage of that
Now it gets miss pronounced or mistaken for another name... I have only met one other person with my first name and unfortunately he has passed away...
There are times I wish I was named Tom or Bob or something simple...
