To think that she should just stop commenting on my name?

[madbrews]

I've been part of this local tight-knit volunteering group for about a year now. Recently, there was a change in 'leadership' which is fine. I have, however, been told by her (twice!) to change my email address (it's listed in the private group listing) as it looks 'rude'!

My email address is simply firstnamelastname, with my first name being probably the most popular shortened variant of a fairly popular name. In her eyes, it contains nothing but 2 bad words which 'gives the wrong impression'. Surely people aren't that daft to not realise that it's just my name, and a well-known one at that?

I'm gobsmacked by the ridiculousness of it all. AIBU?

Paul Mycock?

Poor OP, I am crying laughing though!

I once had to interview someone whose actual name was Tit. I wasn't so fucking rude as to tell him to change his name (though I did email all my pals and snigger childishly).

Dick Fitz-Nicely?

This thread just woke the neighbours up.

Are you from a long line of Fannies, OP?

Ben Dover Or Master Bates?

My French teacher at secondary school was called Master Bates! And insisted upon that name 😳

@DuzzyFuck I work with a shart!!

My mate Anya Neeze had a similar problem.

Lotta Cox?

Can't think of anything so just here for the OPs name/deletion message. Whichever comes first, I don't mind

Is it Mary Elizabeth Cummins?

Mary Ellen Dickinson?

Why is Shart making me so much??

Not going to add to the hilarity op. But no way would I change my email address for her. That would make life very difficult I would think. Unless you get a second account for the group if you wanted.

One of the managers at work has to give his email address out over the phone with a straight face. It’s TransMan@...

I used to work with someone called Emma Royds. Is that you Emma?

Are you Dutch?
Are you called Bent Winkel?

I am off to start myself a new email address and update my CV

Are you Amy Schumer's child, Gene Attell Fischer?

There is an old grave stone in a cemetery near where I used to live, dedicated to to a lady going by the magnificent name of Eugenia Fanny.

Euge Fanny?
