Growing up, I was always the kid with the funny name. "Theo van Gogh Pearl? Like the painter?" they'd say. Well, no, not quite. But it did make for some memorable icebreakers.

One time, in kindergarten, I was playing in the sandbox when a little girl approached me.

"Hi, my name is Sarah," she said. "What's yours?"

"Theo van Gogh Pearl," I replied proudly.

Sarah giggled. "That's a funny name," she said. "Do you have a nickname?"

"Well, my friends call me Theo VP," I said, channeling my inner rapper.

Sarah laughed again. "That's cool," she said. "I like it. Do you want to play with me?"

And that's how I made my first friend. Thanks to my unique name, of course.
