+247 It would suck for someone straight to be named Gay. Introducing yourself would be awkward. "Hi! I'm Gay!" amirite?

Worse yet, if you were named "retard". Then you'd have to say "Hi, Asdpaocm aiouceakl." and have your carer do the talking for you.

Or they could say, "Hi, my name is Gay."

lol but then you get into this conversation "Hi, my name is Gay." "I'm sure it's not that bad... what's your name?" "No! my name literally is gay" "names can't be homosexual dude" *facepalm*

I went to the shops the other day, and the checkout lady does the standard "How are you today?", and I go to reply with the standard "I'm Good", but then try to say "I'm okay", and it comes out "I'm gay"

My grandmother is called Gay :/ It's really awkward when my friends look through my email or phone contacts, they ALWAYS have a laughing fit.

Change her name to Grandma in your phone?

It is an actual name; a family friend of mine (a woman) is named Gay. Not that awkward if you're mature enough to handle it

Someone wrote a book for teachers and her name was Gay Sung or something like that and since I was like 10, I said "That guy must've been made fun of a lot when he was in middle school." Then my mom told me he was actually a she and that her book was very informative and we shouldn't judge people based on their names blah blah blah.

It's not awkward just for straight people. I'd imagine it's awkward for anyone to have to seem like they're introducing their sexual orientation first.

It would be even more awkward if you were gay and your name was Gay. "Hi, I'm Gay... as in gay is my name, not as in I'm homosexual... I actually am gay though. As in homosexual this time."

Add an air of mystery by changing your surname to Orramai. As in "Hi, I'm gay...or am I?"
