So it seems that when people who only know my first name find out about my double-barrelled five-syllable last name, their instinctive reaction is to think it's either a lie or a pen name of some kind.
Maybe, just maybe, to most people your first name — seems utterly incongruguent from your five syllable last name. :) Not everyone is used to last names with more than one syllable!
