Today, it's the first day of fall. It's also the day that over 20 people have made jokes about my name being "Autumn" like they're the funniest, most original people alive. It's not even 8 am. This is going to be a long day. FML

Aw :( I'm sorry. It's a really gorgeous name, though.

You should ignore them. There are a lot of weirder names out there. Your name is actually beautiful :D

I get guff all the time for my name being Hillary. "Like Hillary Clinton?" They always say. I just put a smile on my face and keep going even though I hate being compared to her. Just tell them that you've heard the joke a million times, it's not funny anymore and to buzz off.

"Autumn" isn't a strange or creative name. OP's parents aren't the first people to name her that; there are plenty of people named Autumn.

Being also named Autumn, I feel your pain. You can always do what I do and extra sarcastically compliment them on their originality.

laugh Historically? I'm trying to picture what that would entail...either a laugh that is epic enough for the history books, or maybe a laugh imitating some historic figure. I know it was likely a typo or autocorrect, and he likely meant hysterically, but I'm just picturing her laughing like Abe Lincoln or Betsy Ross. That image makes me chuckle. Laughing Historically is my new favorite thing.

I know how you feel. My last name is Crisp, and every single time I tell someone my name I get some quip along the lines of "like crispy chicken nuggets?" -.-

At least when people hear your name they think of a beautiful season and not disgusting, processed, fast food.
