What is your actual first name?

[Sensei]

Jaime, which is the Spanish for James, so its not pronounced "Jaymee" but rather "Hayme". To avoid confusion, I just go by Jim. Call me "Jaymee" and die a quick death.

Calm down Jaime.

deep breaths...

Someone I know through the internet named Jaime.  I don't think he's Hispanic though, seeing as his last name is Weinman...

well, it could hypothetically. Lots of Hispanic Jews, hell, my entire name (First, Middle, Last) is of Jewish Etymology.

[Sensei]

Daniel.

I know, kind of hard to figure out given my Atlas name...

Yeah, the "X" threw us off there for a moment, Beuford, but we figured it out. 

Isn't that Pierre?

Yeah to be worse than Hugh it would have to be something totally horrible.

I've seen some bad names in my time. At my high school, a lot of the Cuban kids had names that were just their parents names put together, and horrible butcherings of common or famous names. I've seen Yasunori, Chondenver [i suspect after the musician John Denver], Disney, Yonadan, Yujailec. and a LOT more where that came from.

My first name is Brock.

You mean you can't afford a first name, and have to make do with several surnames instead. That's OK though, you're in good company - Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, Jefferson Davis, Danforth Quayle all share your predicament.

Phew. I thought I was alone. Just me to bear the shame and humiliation of not being able to afford a true first name. Thank you oh German one. For you have shown me that I do have friends who know what I'm going through. Now maybe I can start attending meetings to help me overcome the shame I've endured.

People never understand me when I tell them my name

welcome to the club.

No, my name isn't bad. I just don't want to reveal it for security purposes. I'll just give a hint: it's the same first name as a poster who recently left.

LOL

because, of course, that's any sort of security risk at all.

poster who recently left.... hmmm... Phil?

[Sensei]

Hassan. Arabic for handsome, Hebrew for good cantor.

so are you?

Yes, he is the best cantor on this forum, in fact.

You do realize that if you ever visited Minnesota, people would call you Jammy or some other ridiculous incorrect pronunciation that doesn't even sound conventional.

I do know. Very seldom does a white person get it even after I correct them, and never the first time reading it off of a list or something.

We could just call you Jim.

That's what I would end up doing. I don't correct people anymore, so my own parents think I'm a fake brown.
