Agent: "So, what's your name?"
Client: "My name is Nancy."
A: "Are you sure of that?"
C: "Yes. I'm sure about my name."
A: "How about I refer to you as Julie? There's a nice name."
C: "No, I'm Nancy. That's the name my parents gave me."
A: "They did, didn't they? They had to pick Nancy, and not Julie. Those bastards!"
C: "I'd like to talk to your manager."
A: "Alright." [Picks up the phone and talks into it:] "Can you send the manager in, please? Yes. I have a difficult client."
Manager: [Enters the room] "What seems to be the problem?"
C: "Your agent, he keeps wanting to call me Julie, even if my name is actually Nancy."
M: [To the agent] "Is this true?"
A: "Yes, it is."
M: "Well, that won't do. That won't do at all."
C: [To the agent.] "See!"
M: "My colleague here made a terrible mistake. No, I see you more as an Annie. So, how about we call you Annie, instead."
C: "What?"
A: [To the manager.] "By god! You're right! She is an Annie!"
A list full of meaning, beauty, and future strength. #babynames #names #pregnancy

If you want more pointless trivia, some people wonder how Dick became a nickname for Richard.
It's because they used to do this rhyming thing with names. So Richard got shortened to Ricky. And then they rhymed it to make Ricky Dicky. 😆
The same was done with William being shortened to Willy and then rhymed to make Willy Billy. And Robert becoming Robby Bobby.
I can't think of any girls' #names that do this, although there probably are. And I'm not sure why two of them became words for parts of the male anatomy 😅
That's enough trivia from me. They used to do a lot of these #funfacts on the Danny Baker show back in the day.
What are you devices (laptops, phones, servers, etc.) named after? My theme is greek mythology: gods, heros and monsters.
My PiHole is named after argus, the all-seeing giant. My laptop that I often took on journeys is named odysseus. The home server is named herakles, because of all the different tasks it fulfils.
I also heard of someone using place names of famous disasters like Chernobyl, Hindenburg or Deepwater Horizion.
What‘s your theme?
Boosts appreciated.
"What's your name?"
"N."
"Yes, but N. what?"
"N. Shittification."
"Oh, so you're the jackass that's been spreading through the internet!"
These names don’t age—they endure. #babynames #names #pregnancy
