Sadly, I had a manager who kept calling me “Raj”, which, of course, was the name of the other Indian guy on the team. One day, he asked, “Do you have a nickname?”. I believe my answer was, “You mean a short version of ‘Vijay’? Is two syllables too many for you to remember?”
I left that team as soon as I could.
