Choosing the name for your child is both exciting and puzzling at the same time.
You want to give your kid a great name, and you want it to be unique. At the same time, you don’t want it to be too unique that your kid would end up having a hard time writing it.
Of course, we don’t want to choose common names, right?
Did you ever encounter a situation where someone made a mistake with your name? Well, other than Starbucks, of course!
Twitter user Marcus Vance shared a tweet last year about a problem that he encountered with his name. From there, many Twitter users also shared their own experiences, and the post went viral!
The Tweet that started it all
Sometimes we are just not in the mood to explain, especially when the answer to the question is pretty obvious.
This is where the viral tweet began. Marcus introduced himself to someone who immediately thought that his nickname was “Mark”.
Marcus’s answer was so straightforward, and we love it!
A stripper name
Angel is a common name, but we all have to agree that it’s a beautiful name. However, some people just don’t know where to stop.
Someone told Angel that her name was a common stripper name, but instead of being irritated, she answered it with class.
Just listen, please
Listening is a skill, and this scenario shows how people tend to guess than listen.
Carley’s name is often mistaken as “Harley” or “Kylie” because they sound a bit similar to her name, but if you listen very carefully, then you’d probably get it.
Are you related?
When your name is unique, it’s easily remembered. No wonder Chesney is often asked if she’s related to American country singer, Kenny Chesney.
Why make it so complicated?
Sometimes, a name can really be short, like Dee’s name.
It’s not a nickname or a game where you guess how it’s spelled.
It’s just plain Dee.
At least both names have the letter “R”
Drew and Jerry are two very different names. According to Twitter user Drew Mitchell, he’s having a hard time enunciating his name, so people often hear Jerry instead of Drew.
He’s so used to it
Geoffrey or Geoff is a wonderful name but it’s one of those names where people tend to spell it or pronounce it wrong.
It’s one way or the other. Geoff has gotten used to it.
Michael is not Mike
We get it! The most common nickname of the name Michael is Mike, but not all.
So it’s nice not to assume that it is until the person says so.
A very common name
Now, this Michael’s nickname is Mike, and he likes it. In fact, he has accepted the fact that everywhere he goes; there will be at least 3 Mikes in the same room as him.
How many Mikes do you know?
Just call me Nicki
Whenever Noosha introduces herself, she gets to play a guessing game with the people she meets. At the end of the long introduction and guessing game, she just asks them to call her Nicki.
But we all have to agree that Noosha is a very beautiful and unique name.
Who named Tee?
Just like Dee, Tee’s name is short and cool. However, many people are in disbelief whenever they hear his name.
Some think it’s a nickname, while some try to figure out how it’s written. We love how someone even asked if Tee’s parents thought of his name for him!
But really, the name is short but fun!
