I found someone in our user database with the name “Deekshita Anusri”. I then imagined the poor soul at the border who had to read that name in front of the person named so.

I’d love to hear some stories about times something like this actually happened.

    Not a customs officer, but over a decade back I had job duties that involved posting photos of babies online. The parents would give their consent, maternity would snap the photos, and I’d put them on the website (complete with the option to order prints).

    One of the babies was named “Secret Angel.” First name Secret, middle name Angel. That girl would likely be in her teens or early twenties by now. I still sometimes wonder if Secret had any trouble with her name given how much kids can bully other kids for the slightest thing.

      I can only imagine their last name. And what did the parents call her by if they got mad ? Something like … „Secret angel Patterson, come here right now“.
