    My wife teaches first grade and their school has a lot of native Hawaiian families with some interesting names. One of her new kids this year is named Jone.

    She asked the mom, "is it pronounced like 'johnny'?"
    "No"
    "Is it like 'Joan'"?
    "No"
    "OK, how to you pronounce it?"
    "J-1"

    This reminded me of one of my old bffs, who did SUN school. For people who don't know what it it is, it's like extra school for kids who are too old for daycare or whatever.

    Anyway, there were a bunch of Chuukese kids where she was and they have... interesting naming conventions. One set of parents decided to name all of their kids after star wars characters. It's been years but I distinctly remember there being at least a Yoda and an Obi-Wan

    Also apparently the Russian kids constantly picked on the Ukrainian kids

    It is exactly this. They're Chuuk, not Hawaiian. I'm showing my cultural ignorance.

    I was playing who wants to be a millionaire (phone app) and the question was “which of these celebrities is this their actual real first name?”
    The answer was Ke$ha (which I had eliminated due to it having a fucking dollar sign in it).

    That question is dumb because her actual name does not include the $.

    Sorry if your name is Wade, but "Wade" is a pretty weird name.
