I found someone in our user database with the name “Deekshita Anusri”. I then imagined the poor soul at the border who had to read that name in front of the person named so.

I’d love to hear some stories about times something like this actually happened.

    First day in the dorms at college I see a name tag next to a door that says “Shithead” and thought what a mean joke to play! Turns out her name was shi-thee-ad. Rest of the year she was Thea.

    Also worked with a woman named “Noname” (no-nam-ay) and apparently that gave her all sorts of trouble on official forms.
