Really? YES YOU'RE RIGHT! (I just looked it up) No, it's fine, really. It was more that this guy actually went to the trouble of asking me if I spoke English, and if I knew the word "horrible" and then was like, "It's similar, isn't it!" So yes. It dragged out longer than needed.
Hmmmm mine has this problem but it's simpler. My surname, Boltão, is often read as Botão (which means "button" in Portuguese) and LOADS of people call me Botão. Or Baltão, Boltam, Bolton, etc... Strangely, I still have much more of a harder time with my first name (guess I told you, besides the Priscilla movie, there was a dog in a TV show here a few years back named Priscila)
Botão is cute!! And yeah, it sucks when your name gets associated to pop culture characters/things that you'd rather not be linked to. But yes, I guess it could be worse....right?
This reminds me of Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog . You should watch if you haven't already.
ReplyDeleteBTW it's Leia :)
I love Dr. Horrible! Plus it's got that cute girl from The Guild...ahem. Nerd alert.
DeleteAhahaha. Been there.
ReplyDeleteIt's what we have to live with, having silly last names. Although it could be far worse.
DeleteReminds me of Horrible Histories.

Never heard of it, but looks cute! It's got rati-tude! harhar!
