You tell people "I'm going out with Gunnar tonite" and people will invariably reply "Gunnar? Can I come?" even if they've never met him. Hell, knowing that is your name makes me want to meet you and go for a beer.

Hell, if Jordon's name was really Gunnar, he wouldn;t get the same grief.....

You're from Calgary and you know a guy named Gunnar......

Where did you go to high school?

I've met lots of people with that name--but they were all in Iceland, not Calgary.

As for breaks, there's some of that. People generally either say "cool name" or "no, no. What's your REAL name?"
