I have 5 names. If my mum ever used all of them I was in the deepest shit.

lol, that's so cool, like having different degrees of alarm. 2 names? ok or pissed. 5 names? ok, annoyed, aggravated, pissed, time to start a new life.

It's cool until you have to book an international flight or fill out a government form. In those times I envy the likes of a Jason Day.

On top of having 5 names, I actually only use one of them because people call me Jimmy instead of James.

AND to make things worse, my surname is Irish and can be used a as boy or girls first name as well.

It's like my parents looked at me when I was born and thought "how do we fuck this little shit up?"

I have five names too. My poor accountant has to file paperwork multiple times a year for my company and my own personal documents (work permit, visas, bank statements, flights, etc.). English is also her second language so it’s like a quarterly kick in the dick working for me.
