I had a client named Mike Cox. Rad dude, but I giggle to myself every time he answers the phone "Hello this is Mike Cox.."
You gotta wonder what Mr. and Mrs. Cox were thinking naming their son Michael. Or Holden…
i went to grade school (through grade 9) with a mike hunt.
teachers got quite proficient at enunciation and pacing when calling his name.
I knew a Michael Hunt growing up. His life in our rural Texas school went about as well as you could imagine.
Dick Hayter (given name Richard) was the mayor of Manhattan, Kansas and my dad's boss at KSU.
Had a buddy who's last name was Richards, his dad's name was Harry.
Harry Richards... it had to be on purpose right?
Knew a man who's last name was Weiner. Parents named him Seymour. Maybe his parents first language wasn't English.
Nah, this was an actual government name (could be coincidentally the same) he was an elderly student a very large university at the time. Decided to go back to college for fun at 75 or so for whatever his reasons were. I was working at the service desk so we would help people get signed in and change their passwords when they forgot them and such.
Oh man, you're getting rare enough with that name that there's probably not a lot of options. Nothing to gain and kinda weird, but that's unique enough that it's probably 5 minutes of google to figure out.
What if your LAST name was holden and your FIRST name was berries?
You would B.Holden to that name.
My dad works with a guy whose name is Paul Hiscock. I didn't believe it until I heard his voicemail greeting.
There used to be a U.S. senator (fittingly, a homophobic Republican) named Dick Armey.
