I quite like the name Adam. Obviously I've had a while to get used to it now, but even so - it's alright. There are some names I don't like, but I don't wish to offend anyone so I will leave you guessing.
There is however one problem with my name. It's right at the beginning of the alphabet, only beaten by the likes of Aaron and Abbie. Unfortunately it seems nobody I know knows an Aaron.
Why is this a problem? I seem to be the first person in everyones contact list or phone book. I'm the top of the tree, numero uno. This means I get lots of phone calls from peoples pockets. You've forgotten to lock your phone, and its automatically calling people, and you know nothing about it.
It's happened twice today; once on my mobile, and once on the landline. Five minutes of background noise and conversations before the answer phone hangs up - It's as bored as I am.
Because I am a victim of this issue, I keep a contact called AAA with a fake number in my phone. I urge you to do the same. Especially if you've got my number!
