Funny Snippet:

Mr. Jobs was notorious for throwing his weight around however he could. One person on the iPhone design team was also named Steve, which caused some confusion in meetings. Mr. Jobs sought to change this.

“At some point Steve Jobs got really frustrated with this and said ‘Guess what, you’re Margaret from now on,’” Mr. Tolmasky said. From there on, members of the team would always address the designer Steve as Margaret.

That is a textbook example of behaving like a boss from hell. The only proper response to that is "I'm not the one with the problem. If it's bugging you, then YOU can be Margaret." (Presumably followed up by a call to the unemployment office, sadly.)

"If I'm Margaret you must be Psycho Path."

I have an incredibly common name and have had this problem many times working in even small teams. We tend to just suffix with a number on the end :)

What about surnames? We had like six Johans at one time, so started going with surnames.

Surnames is even worse for me :)

My parents lacked any inspiration.
