Even people will "regular" names can run into difficulties!
My full name is Alexandra - everyone calls me Alex. When I was a child I was rushed to the infectious diseases hospital with suspected meningitis. The hospital had received word that I was coming and had reserved a bed for me.... in the boys ward!!!!!!! As a 9 year old child I was mortified
On reflection, it might also have been kinder to name my sweet furgirl Charley something else
