I was just thinking about things that constantly make me smile about living in a Spanish-speaking culture, and one of those is getting Argentines to understand my name. My first name is Perri, so I usually get: "Your name is PERRRRRI? como 'perro'?! That's what we call dogs to get them to come to us...perriperriperri!" Usually followed by uncontrollable laughter.
Every time I have to spell out my name for someone and see the look of confusion/amusement at such a "strange" name... (who names their kid after a dog?)...I get a kick out of it every time. Anybody feel the same?
