Here's a good one for ya - remember back years ago before everyone had a cell phone? Back when you made collect calls? Back when dialing zero got a live human being? (Does it still get you a human on the first ring?) Anyway, back "then".....I was traveling a lot and needed to call home. I made a collect call to my mother.
Operator: "Operator. How may I direct your call?"
Me: "Collect from Kopana"
Operator: "One moment"
ring......ring......ring......
Mom: "Hello?"
Operator: "I have a collect call from Chrysler, will you accept?"
Mom: laughter......
Operator: "Ma'am, will you accept the charges?"
Mom: "Yes" more laughter.....
Operator: "Go ahead"
Mom: "Chrysler?" laughter........
Me: "We haven't heard that one yet!"

We used to have a collection of misspellings of our name that we'd gotten through the mail: Lybrager, Lybanger, etc. Good times. :D
I especially like how you pointed out that your name, should you choose to hyphenate it now that you're married, sounds much like John Jacob Jinglhiemer-Schmidt or something to that effect
My husband's name has the same number of syllables as John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt -- his sister's has more than that!
Googling myself is always interesting since my last name spells out "he is." So any sentance or phrase that ends with the word "crystal" and then the next sentence starts with "he is" will show up in a google search. What you get when you google "crystal heis":
