Well I guess my name is stupid in Indian.
Working in A call center, you get a lot of funny names, but this tops em all.

Get a call from an indian bloke, he was the perfect steriotype, imagine apu but with a high voice. This isn't really funny, it's just a slightly difficult voice to funny. Then I see his name on screen "Pinkal" I ask him to confirm his name "Pinkal" he squeaks (rhymes with twinkle). I hold it together, but eventualy need to transfer him. Speak to a tec support girl, she asks his name "pinkal" I say. There's a moments silence, then we both start laughing very hard. She composes herself, I pass him through, then realise I didn't warn about the funny voice (it's considered polite) she takes the call, he opens his mouth and she starts really laughing, like almost pissing. Poor pinkal just had to sit and get fed the old "fell off my chair" line.
