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.

    If my old coworkers find my account, oh well. I work in software engineering. At my old job I found an employee named “The Angel of Ephesus”. No joke. His legal last name was “Ephesus”, first name “The Angel Of”. Dude had lots of paranoid postings all over the Internet. Glad he didn’t live near me, and I had no reason to ever interact with him.

    The only reason I found him was because we had an issue syncing employee names after a name change was completed in the HR system. We had to do a one time update after we fixed the bug.
