      This is a beautiful thread about names. I will add that if you meet someone with what you think is an unusual or interesting name, the kindest thing you can do is not ask them about it. You'll be sparing them a canned conversation they're really tired of. They'll tell you later!https://twitter.com/random_walker/status/1199301468941160450 …

      Today I want to take a break from sharing research to share a personal story instead. It’s a story about my name, why I once decided to quit academia, why I came back, what I learnt from it, and why I’m grateful to have an audience here on Twitter.

      Also, get the name right before you introduce someone in a public setting. Make a good-faith effort to learn how to say it. I have had presenters come on stage at conferences where I was a speaker and decide to wing it in front of a hundred people. Those presenters are all dead.

      It also helps to go somewhere where your name is weird to people. Everyone's name is hard to pronounce somewhere, as my poor friend Wayne learned during a semester in Moscow.

      I can't speak for other people, but you can ask me six thousand times to help you say my name right, and I will not get impatient or feel anything but surprised gratitude. I even recorded a podcast for people who want to learn to say it. https://idlewords.com/say_my_name.m4a

      Sometimes when I get frustrated I try to remember that there was a major league baseball player named 'Gwóźdź', who had to run around playing an American game with that Polish name on his back. His nickname was "Eyechart". Makes no sense to me, it's a perfectly easy name.
