my name is marcos, which doesn't rime with anything, and my surname is Vrljicak (verleechack), which it's already difficult to pronunce to spanish speakers, so i was saved all my infancy for that one

Kids can make something out of any name. Mind you, adults can be just as bad. Every time I've ever been to an interview and said my surname was "Hyde", the interviewer has said "Ah, as in Jekyll, ha ha ha" as though they were the first person to ever crack that joke.

My last name is now the last name of a popular television character and it's rather irritating.  I miss the good old days when this show did not exist.

Not that it was really annoying, but people found a way to shorten an already short name.  From 'Eric' It went to 'Rick' from my early teens to my late twenties.  I am still called that every once in a while...
