    I don’t have a good technique, just q similar event. A friend of a friend remembered my somewhat complicated and hard to pronounce name, and pronounced it correctly. I forgot his name. So I thought up something clever. We traded numbers and I asked him to spell his name for me. Genius Chat, Genius!

    He looks at me a little confused and spells his name for me: A, C, E.

      Loool know that pain well! Potential salvation with “nah but your last name” or like “there’s not a silent ‘eux’ (or whatever’s clever) in there?”
