    I have a hate/love relationship with my first name. As a French-Canadian, it's pronunced 'Ghee', and it's a rather old first name that was popular up until the end of the 70's, and not much after. It's the name of at least one of your uncles. I was born in 1989. So whenever I meet someone and have to say my name, they usually think it's a diminutive for 'Guillaume', and will call me as such later in the conversation. Sometimes I correct them, sometimes not, and when I do, kindly saying my name is 'Guy' and not 'Guillaume', they look surprised, and often ask me to repeat. And I can see in their eyes that this name doesn't fit a 32-year old... guy.
    But, on the other end, most people remember me later on, because they also remember meeting the only Guy they know under 50. Professionally speaking, it's a nice plus.

    Yep this video is a literal and accurate copy of my life: meeting new people. I had a good laugh, good video Graenolf or Guy. Some reactions also include, "oh so you're not a dude?" or "in France its pronounced gee". The jokes can be funny sometimes but it gets old real quick. The latest joke of my name was just calling me Gay (a personal joke from friends knowing that I'm not gay). And very recently, I met another Guy who also shared my last name, so same first and last names which was awesome. It was in my bucket list to meet another guy named Guy, even though I randomly completed that I'm still looking forward to meeting other guys named Guy, since we are few in number. I used to hate my name as a kid because of the jokes but now I love it because its unique and its me.
