Not myself, but...I have a male friend who recently changed his name from "Courtney" to "Court." He was frequently mistaken for a girl on official documents and letters.
A few years back in high school, on the first day of classes for the term, a teacher in then-Courtney's science class was checking to see if all students were in their properly assigned seats. She said, "There must be something wrong here, because you're sure not Courtney!" He sharply replied "I sure the hell am!"
She froze for a moment then quickly walked away.
