Take it easy there Dan.

I got an email earlier today from a vendor that Ive spoken to a number of times. We mostly correspond via email, so he has seen my name over and over at least a dozen times. I get an email from him today that starts with "Hi Kirk".

Kirk?

Beam me up Scotty!

The best thing about having an unusual name is that it's easy to screen the telemarketers, "uh, no he's not home right now".

[sari]

So telemarketers call your house and ask for admin? And does your wife say "I'm sorry, he's not available, but this is mrs. admin - can I help you?"

Try having a name like sari. They get it right in email, but never on the phone or in person.

So how is it pronounced? With an "o" sound like "sorry" or with a long "A", so it rhymes with "hairy"?

[sari]

It rhymes with sorry, but it's pronounced with a 'sh' sound, not a 's' sound.

[jaxisland]

what nationality is that?

[sari]

Hungarian

[dsenette]

i'm a little hungarian....anybody got any snacks?

[jaxisland]

Nice, definitely havent heard that one before. Very beautiful
