I hate ridiculous names; my weird name has haunted me all my life.

In real life, there are names that surprise us because they don't seem to suit the person at all.

I hate my name. It's a stupid, horrible name.

I am terrible with people's names.

I don't need any nicknames.

I like naming characters.

I never heard nobody in my audience call me any kind of names.

Take a simple name like Nicholas: you can rhyme it with ridiculous. If you aren't too meticulous. You know, every word's rhymable.

I have fallen in love with American names, the sharp names that never get fat.

In America, people really struggle with my name, so I don't have a nickname as such. I've had Sharlito, Sheldon, Charldo, really interesting variations on the name. Some of them can get it, but many can't.
