I remember a guy telling me that whenever a new woman started at work they'd phone her up say, "Is Mike there?" She'd say she was new & didn't know. "Oh, ok. Can you just stand up and call out if anyone's seen Mike? Last name Hunt." "Has anyone seen Mike Hunt?" Cue applause from the whole room.
I used to work with a Michael Hunt. Brilliant guy and normally pretty chill, but woe betide anyone shortening it to it's diminutive form. I accidentally called him Mike once and he literally never responded to me again.

He does, despite the trouble you normally have when your name is Terrence.

This actually happened to someone I know. Which is why he signs his name 'Porl' instead of 'Paul'.

I went to school with a Dick Willy Alcock (pronounced all cock). He was an angry boy
I wonder whether Richard William Alcock uses internet boards like this.
