Q: Hello, my name is Jeff Caan. I don't know if you like posting questions where people say there names,  but in this case, I don't mind. You have my permission. My name has caused me a lot of annoyance over the years. With my last name being "Caan" I've had to deal with SO many people yelling "Khaaaaaaaaaaan!" (like from Star Trek), also, I've lost count of the times where I've had to tell people that no, I am not Shao Kahn from Mortal Kombat or Shere Khan from Jungle Book. I'm also not related to James Caan or Madeline Kahn. And in the past couple of years, I don't think I need to tell you how people react whenever I say "My name is Jeff.".... I would like to use your question page as an opportunity to give a PSA to all those who read these questions. DO NOT MAKE JOKES ABOUT SOMEBODY'S NAME. THEY HAVE HEARD THE JOKE BEFORE COUNTLESS TIMES. YOU ARE NOT ORIGINAL, AND THEY DO NOT THINK IT IS FUNNY. If somebody's name is Jesse don't say "Ha! Tha
 t's a gi
 rls name!" If somebody's name is Duncan, don't call them "Duncan Donuts". If somebody's name is Richard, yes, they know that Dick is short for Richard and that dick can mean penis. If somebody's shares the same last name as a celebrity or a character from a tv show/movie/book, don't ask them if they are related to that person/character. If somebody's first and last name rhyme or if they have "two first names", you don't have to point that out for them. They know.
