I was doing payroll recently for my work, and came across Harsh Harsh. I had to ask our HR lady, really? His last name was Harsh and his parents named him Harsh?
Well, no. She said his name was simply Harsh but our system required a last name so she repeated it.
Still, pretty harsh I think.
My grandfather in law only had one name. When they immigrated, they made his first name “XXX”.
One time someone asked him “like the movie?”
I met a soldier who’s last name was too long to fit on a nametape. They asked if he could shorten it and he chose X instead. iirc he was Indonesian or Thai…
I worked with a lady whose married name was Xu, she’d kept it when she divorced him. She was Laotian. (Really cool lady, grew up in refugee camp, married high roller Chinese guy, got t educated, when they divorced she moved to the US and was successful on her own). One day i forwarded her an email from a vendor, his name long and unpronounceable, and she looked at it and said, oh! That is the same as my maiden name! I could see why she kept the last name of the Chinese husband :)
heh, easy decision to cut a lot of time signing shit out of her life.
I feel bad for the kid in first grade who’s like “I’m Bobby, Bobby Laxwhanxijontongsilvalessbronchongamonson”
That’s actually against regs in the US military. The correct way is to keep spelling until the name tape runs out of space.
However, who’s going to correct the man about his own name? In his case, X literally pronounces as KingFaldTheBeeswaxBeeblebrox and I’ll be damned if you think it’s anything else, you silly gate guard!
What happened? I blacked out.

typical gate guards :D
Woulda made them set my first name as “Just” so it’d be “Just Harsh” and it should make for some who’s on first fun.
It means joy in Indian languages
That actually makes it funnier lol
Sounds like some refugees coming from the african/middle east.
I have one colleague with an “official” and an actual birthdate.
I believe some also don’t have the given/sur name system.That’s an interesting thing, in many countries such as the UK, it is perfectly legal to just not have a surname. Probably the best example is our own King, Charles.
But Charles does have a surname. Mountbatten-Windsor? Or does that not count? I’m foggy on what the rules are for the royal family.
That’s not his actual surname. Mountbatten-Windsor is a surname given to descendants of royals who aren’t working members (or ex royals in Andrew’s case). While Charles still doesn’t have a surname, generally if you faced a situation where you had a database which absolutely must take a surname, he’d likely simply put down “Windsor” as the Mountbatten thing was a compromise made between the late Queen Elizabeth II and the family of the late Prince Philip.
It kind of applies to working royals as well.
However even then, I believe that would probably only be used by Princess Anne. As the children of the Prince and Princess of Wales will probably use the word “Wales” in place of a surname, and previously would have likely used “Cambridge” in terms of school records. I don’t know how this works out for the rest of the family as Princess Beatrice and Eugenie’s father (formerly York) lost his title and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh’s children aren’t working royals/prince/princess despite the fact they are normally perfectly entitled to the title, as they are a grandchild of the monarch. (Although with Harry and Andrew gone, some are speculating that Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor might step up).
Queen Elizabeth II still has some living cousins such as HRH The Duke of Kent and HRH The Duke of Gloucester. They aren’t really well known but are still carrying out royal duties quite diligently (well, that would also depend on your viewpoint on royal duties, etc)

Excellent Choice. May I interest you in an ä instead of an a? >:)
Yes please, I was just lazy haha.
Wonderful. As part of our special offer, you will receive extra chaos.

I once worked with a guy named Tad. Not Todd nor Thad.
I also know a Tad. It’s not some cringe 2000s kid, either, this guy has to be 70 or thereabouts.
Maybe it is an oldtimey name.
Short for Thaddeus, but you’re right, the “Tad” spelling is apparently for the over-forty crowd. I don’t personally remember seeing “Thad” before the 90s, and then it left me wondering how to pronounce it when I did.
shouldnt it be THAD and tad.
probably same reason “Bill” is short for “William”
I have a distant uncle Tad. Short for Thadeus. Dudes pushing 70 and still an absolute party animal.
Tad, short for Tadalafil.
“TADA!” for short…
That’s perfect.
better than techno mechanius, or tau, siderael or AEX.

Clearly you’ve never done ketamine.
sidareal, techno mechanius or slider.
I have never, but I would buy a sex implement with that name. Not to attack musk realtives, but to devalue his brand.
doorknob if it’s a girl. because, like her mother, everyone gets a turn.
