    Kiddo's father goes by his middle name, always has. Kiddo just found out his father's first name about a year ago and freaked out!

    Back in the day when they handed out paychecks at work it would take people forever to figure out wtf the check was for.

    And if we answered the phone and they asked for him by first name, we'd just hang up. Not someone we wanted to talk to.

    Our daughter's birth certificate has his full legal name on it, but he only signs with his middle name so his signature does not include his first name, neither does his driver's license. He really hates his first name.

    Wait I was wrong. I went to school with a kid who had the same last name and kids used to make fun of his name, but never directed it at me. Does that count? It wasn't clever and only almost rhymed - they only kept doing it because it upset him so much. Kids are mean.

    He also once asked me out (I was not a fan of his and one of our classmates convinced him I liked him so he'd ask me out in front of the class and be humiliated. Kids are mean.) I said no, and he assumed it was because the name thing would be weird - an assumption I did not correct.

    What if everyone thought he was saying burly, and they were expecting you to be abnormally large

    My first name is the same as my pops (well I was a Jr.) So, when I worked for him, there was some hilarity... "Do you want the one born in 58 or the one born in 80" when it was stuff like insurance comapnies.

    And that's why I stopped going by Davie.

    Well, apparently, when he first started work, several of them thought he was gay and living with a man named Burt or Bearnie, which is basically along the same lines. They were quite confused when I appeared :emoji_laughing:

    I think I'd just start subconsciously humming The Piano Man every time if I met a Davie.

    Kiddo's father's first name is David. lmao!

    He is 10000000000000000000% NOT A DAVID. And moreso not a Dave. I like the name Dave. I'd fall over laughing if I even thought of his father in that name. He was called Davy as a young lad and abhorred it and insisted everyone use his middle name. And it stuck. Forever.

    Would have taken that one.

    "Baby Davie" led to having boxer breaks before I was even out of first grade. LOL

    because they haven't learned empathy yet and it's amusing to get a reaction out of others.

    They should still stop.

    Is that for real about the empathy? I would have assumed they were capable of empathy by school age, but I honestly have no actual idea.
