My name gets mispronounced a lot. Like A LOT. Most of my friends, even close ones, got it wrong the first time they met. Also it's so difficult to spell and pronounce that my name gets forgotten or mixed up with something bizarre altogether. Like I've been called Jonathan, Nicholas, Drew, Sean/Shaun, and Andrew (or a corrupt fusion of those few names) so many times I can't even begin to count them. That's why I tell people to call me Andy because it's short and catchy and not so foreign-sounding (I get asked "Are you local?" all the time, for reals).

And no, you're not gonna get to know my real name. :P Nice try, PXR. Though I'll leave a hint, the Bard knows.
