Tangentially related- My name is the same as that of a 1970s song title and chorus and I worked in a place where a co-worker spoke that line to me every time he saw me every single day. I wanted to kill him by the time I left. I also hate that song. And no, I won't tell you what song.

I'll just say that it was not Mandy by Barry Manilow. Because they didn't name boys Mandy back then.

EDIT: No wait, there's Mandy Patinkin. Anyway, my name isn't Mandy.

Similarly, I dated a woman named Annie a few years back. Everyone of my geekier friends, when I introduced her, asked, "are you ok? Are you ok Annie?"!
