Default I hate my name sometimes
I ordered two drinks in Starbucks today, and whenever I'm in there I always make a point of spelling out and pronouncing my name for them because if I don't then 9/10 it'll be misspelt and said wrong when they yell my name out.

So after telling the woman how my name is spelt and said, I thought nothing would go wrong.

But then I get given this:

Spoiler:



I give up with this name oh my God

Do you hate when people call you Neil? I'd imagine that would get really frustrating.

I think you should sue Niall. I used to have someone called Niall in my class at school.

Nah dude I think it's such an epic name, probably my third favourite male name of all time and definitely one i'd consider if I were to have a kid.

I've never done it but apparently you can just give them whatever word you want and they'll use that as your name and not question you

So can you just say '******' and they'll call that out?

Tbf Niall, I know a few people called Niall and they're a mixture of either the way you pronounce yours or Neil...

My friend Nadine went in once and they wrote 'Nedee' on her cup, pretty funny

I know. It's spectacular considering it was the same woman who wrote on both the cups.

Well hopefully your kid will have an easier time with it than I.

'Nedee' oh dear God.
