I think I've mentioned before that my place of retail employment is not only visited by customers mostly from south of the border, but that the staff is also 90% Latino. Thus, we are topheavy with Marias and Rositas.
I am the only LeeAnn.
Consequently, when something goes wrong and someone says "Well, Maria did it."... there are quite a few to chose from and chances are, the guilty Maria will get off scot-free.
I am the only LeeAnn.
So if a customer wants to needlessly bitch and moan about some trivial thing like accidentally getting charged three times the going rate for second-rate perfume complain, and she says "LeeAnn did it", guess whose going to take the fall?
I hate being the only LeeAnn.
Therefore, I'm changing my name so I'll blend in to the predominant culture and escape these petty tirades.
I am now going to be known as: Rico Suave.
And how nice it is I already have a theme song?
Rico suave...... It'll never catch on.

Now repeat after me....
Tu Pendeho!
Maricon!
Basta!
There now. You're an official Latino woman. Also, you'll have to get your hubby to get one of those tattoos of Jesus across his entire chest, including his beer belly. And maybe go into the crack business.
At least get a cheap handgun.
Yeah. That's the ticket.
