I found someone in our user database with the name “Deekshita Anusri”. I then imagined the poor soul at the border who had to read that name in front of the person named so.

I’d love to hear some stories about times something like this actually happened.

My cousin’s full name is Christopher Patrick Bacon. He goes by Chris P. Bacon and just embraces it. His parents knew.
