That's a classic....

I can understand parents having a lot of passion and interests in life and wanting to give their children these highly original and fascinating names... But these kids have to live with it... How many times do you have to say your name to someone in your lifetime,, and having to repeat it 5 times every single time, for your entire life, is just unpractical and unproductive..

My name is Rhys... It is wellknownish in the UK (originates from Wales), but in Australia it is not that common,,, and the amount of times i've had to say it 2,3 or 4 times to people who just don't bloody get it, and I ALWAYS have to spell it...

Another thing that is totally stupid is people who name their children reasonably norman names, but spell them strange ways..
Like if someone's name was Matthew, the parents will spell it Mathyou, or Mathyew... (lol, bad example)..

But think, every every every single f'n time someone has to write down his name,,, he is going to have to spell it out for them. Every time! No one is EVER going to spell it right straight up... It is just so ridiculous..
