A few days ago, Marcus Vance asked a great question on Twitter and it’s gone viral because of the hilarious and infuriating responses: “What’s the biggest problem you have with your name?

I can totally relate to anyone who is annoyed with their name because I’m Tod with one D. This means that I have to constantly answer the question, “Where did the other D go?” It also leads to not receiving emails and tweets because someone spelled my name wrong.


My dad thought it’d be cool to name me Tod with one D because Abraham Lincoln once told his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, “If there’s one D in God there should be one D in Todd.”

It has also led to a subversive nickname some friends call me that makes some uncomfortable: “God.”

I once walked into a crowded elevator and the operator, who I knew, greeted me with an enthusiastic “Hey God!” and everyone looked at me like I had two heads.

Enough with my tale of woe. Here are some of the best responses to the question: “What’s the biggest problem you have with your name?”

My biggest problem is people like to make jokes with my name. I've also been called dime, nickel, and quarter on multiple occasions.
