‘Humans Of New York’ Photo Of Girl Named ‘Beyoncé’ Has The Best Comment Section Ever
A photo shared by the legendary Humans Of New York street photography project told the story of Beyoncé, a schoolgirl who discussed the difficulties (and advantages) of living with a celebrity name. A deluge of comments then appeared underneath the photo from other people with strange or celebrity names who wanted to show their support.
“Sometimes I hate my name because it always draws attention to me, and I’m not a very social person,” she told Brandon Stanton, the photographer behind Humans of New York. “When the teacher started calling attendance, I got really nervous, because every time people learn my name is Beyoncé, somebody starts singing ‘Single Ladies.’ And some did, of course. But the second day of school wasn’t too bad. Because everyone knew my name.“

Share on FacebookWith a name like mine, in a French area of the country, I got teased in school if I was good in French (which I was) and if I sewed I don't.
Every tone deaf guy in school sang Guns n Roses song Patience. Not to mention the joke everyone asks, "Do you have any"? I work as a nanny.
Love my last name. Got married to mr. Storry. And they always ask me whats my storry? Haha my next baby will be called LOVE. LOL
Welllll, my name is Inga and people in my school keep on singing "inger with that middle finger" And no, I don't use that finger a lot.
When my Nephew married he and his wife decided to NOT hyphenate their surname. Chiu-C*x
I sympathize too! If I had a dime for every Batman joke I've heard & every person who sings "Rockin' Robin" ... I'd be rich! :-)
My last name is Santa. Everyone always asked if they could sit on my lap.
I don't have a celebrity name, or a name that's particularly weird or funny. But sooner or later, everyone sings "Mustang Sally".
How can some parents be so cruel? I understand some foreign names don't mean the same as they do here, but c'mon....what about all the other names? That's some seriously messed up parenting.
I'm not sure how old this person is, but it's very likely she was born before Beyounce was famous.

Try being named after an Elton John song.... if I don't have someone sing it to me daily there's something wrong
When I was married my name was Marie Beaurone, same as Raymond's crazy mother, from the TV show Everyone Loves Raymond. I also had two boys. Thank goodness I am divorced and now back to using my maiden name. Lol
With my lastname it wasn't easy in school.. since the teacher in German say just : Pause (english: break / let's have a break) but i'm very proud of my name and who i am. So everyone who makes a joke of my name i never heard before gets 5 Swiss Francs 😂😂
My First Name is Ella (actually named after Fitzgerald ). Now, most of the people get to know me sing Umbrella-ella-ella or 'Ella est la'..
Not to forget naming all the things containing '-ella' such as mozarella, nutella etc

Last name is Winkler, a fairly common Germanic name. For decades; "Are you related to Henry?" His son is named Max, as am I. Another pain!
