My actual last name is impossible to spell if you just hear it. Even if you enter what you heard into Google, you won’t find it.

Took a class. After a couple months I gave a presentation which included my full name spelled out on a PowerPoint. That same day I got a few friend suggestions on a certain social network which included girls in my class who I otherwise had no connection with (no previous suggestions, no mutual friends). This was either an incredible coincidence or they had looked me up.

I haven’t looked at a profile on any site without considering this day since.
