I have an amazingly common name so I hear it often
The first person I spoke to at one of our customers the day I joined here had my name. Made for an odd conversation
Me: "Hello, can I speak to (sportscow's real name) please?"
Them: "Can I ask who is calling?"
Me: "(sportscow's real name)"
Them: "Errrrr...... OK"

In a previous job
There was a guy in an other team called Mike Cockhead. Pronounced 'Cock-Head'. Being the clever chap that I am, I got around it by phoning their office and saying 'Can I speak to Mike please?'
'Which Mike do you want? There are two here.'

Oh, it's true
I admired the fact that it didn't bother him. I probably would've changed it if it were my name.
