Event description
Description
After a fabulous TWO nights - Say My Name is BACK with more fables about name fails, funnies and frustrations!
HANA AYOOB & SHALAKA KURUP PRESENT:
Brian Mackenwells, who firmly believes that 'Brian' should be the standard, and 'Bryan' the one you have to spell out.
Suhail Patel, who can be directly quoted as saying: "Apparently Suhail is an Arabic term meaning 'handsome', 'brilliant', 'noble', 'glorious', 'easy-going' and 'peaceful'. Talk about false advertising..."
Twayna Mayne, who says: "the 'y' in my first name is silent while the 'y' in my surname isn't, and if that wasn't bad enough, my brothers are called Jason, Adrian and Gavin"
Charlie George, who is NOT a former Arsenal football player, she is a mixed-race, queer woman from Swindon. Her name is the source of misunderstanding wherever she goes, the banner hanging above her ongoing identity crisis and her deep seated residual longing for a mullet.
Scary Boots, who responded to being given a generic name by adopting an adjective. The subsequent 18 years have been spent arguing with strangers about whether 'Scary' is a name or not. The debate continues here...
Alex Lathbridge, who is a comedian with a name/appearance combination that has surprised more than one interviewer
AND
Cansu Karabiyik has spent half her life telling people that the C in her name is pronounced like a J and that it isn’t a typo. That’s just how the Turkish alphabet works. And no, you can’t just call her Johnson instead... stop asking!
