Today, 23 years ago, my parents decided to name me honoring my father's family tradition even though I clearly resembled physically my mother's family. So here I am a 6.9 ft, blond hair and blue eyed guy named Selim Al-Karaji. I tell people my name is Bill so they don't laugh or believe I am lying. FML

If you intend to continue honoring that tradition, then you can prove your name with a photo ID. If you're okay with breaking the tradition, why not legally change your name? It must be a bit awkward having to explain yourself when people discover your real name.
