Spare a thought for the other Brett Kavanaugh (but it turns out he’s not alone and it’s very funny)
As controversy continues to swirl around Brett Kavanaugh, Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee who was sworn in despite allegations of sexual assault, which he denies, spare a thought for this guy.
This is a terrible time to be named Brett Kavanagh

He is, according to his Twitter bio, ‘Customer Guide at Goodson Clothing & Supply Co. Carolina Panthers fanatic in Louisville, Kentucky’ and he’s getting an awful lot of grief right now about the other Brett Kavanaugh.
When he shared his pain on Twitter at least he had the consolation of knowing he wasn’t alone in this sort of thing.
And not only them, it turns out.
My parents could never have guessed what would happen with my name.

Just gotta embrace it for the icebreaker and conversation starter that is. Plus it helps people to remember you more easily (good or bad). 🙂

And then there were all these people.
.Seeing the names below (and witty replies – bravo, y’all) I suddenly feel downright blessed by my family name. Worth all the tired jokes. And hey, they spell it right.

I feel your pain about the name jokes. Glad that your last name at least gets spelled correctly. What really shocks me is when mine gets mispronounced.

Ditto on the last name jokes. My poor mom’s name is Virginia. And we lived in Virginia growing up.

Can only be a matter of time before John Lewis, the ‘computer science educator, father of four, social liberal, atheist, and not a retail store’ gets in touch.
