tbf if your name's "John", it will stay John

I have a "weird" name

So I normally just say my name is John if I'm interacting with someone I'll probably never meet again

I did not know that my brother, with a similarly "weird" name, practices this exact same technique until he told the Starbucks barista that his name was John.

Thinking on my feet, I said my name was "uhh, Smith"
