    This is the same reason I try not to make jokes about peoples names, especially if the joke is super obvious. I imagine they feel like this guy.

      Yeah. Don’t ever joke about someone’s name because they already heard it a hundred times by the time they were ten years old.

      Don’t ever make fun of someone’s laugh or they will not laugh in your presence.

        I actually became friends with one of my best friends through making puns on his name for several days until he heard a bunch of new ones. Its been 7 years and I was a groomsmen at his wedding last year. Wild to imagine this is how I make friends. My other best friend I made by picking them up as a hitchhiker.

        These are probably exceptions to the rule though.

      As a guy whose name is, in his native language, literally something like “Ghristmas”, I thank you in the name of all December 24th until the end of times.
