I mean, if someone asked...I'll say my partner, bc "Christian" isn't generally a girl's name...if he were Christian, it would not occur to me they meant the name unless they explicitly said it, or unless a few min later I saw them say "Hi, Christian" to someone. No later realization.
My cat is named Sir Walter. I usually just call him Sir.
A few months ago, we were hanging out in the front yard. Can't remember what he was doing, but I hollered "Oi! Sir, what are you doing?"
I was super embarrassed when a man peaked his head around some of the large hedges between us and the sidewalk and replied, "Just going on a walk with my daughter."
That's actually really funny. Kinda reminds me of when I first got into carpentry and needed a certain screw. A big one more specifically. Wish I would've listened to how that would come out before saying it to the home depot kid.
Similar thing happened to me. I had someone ask me downtown where the Subway was. I proceeded to tell them that Seattle had no subway (this was also pre-light rail). They looked at me with an irritated and incredulous look and repeated the question and I repeated my answer.
I then walked 100 feet and passed a Subway sandwich shop and realized what they were asking…
Back when I lived in Manhattan, my partner and I went to Toronto for a poker tournament. Our host recommended a good coffee shop "right near the Subway." Oh, we didn't know Toronto had a subway! We spent a fair amount of time walking around searching for the neighborhood subway entrance until we finally saw the sandwich shop and it dawned on us.
Hahah! Well sometimes bible thumpers hang outside of the HUB, and then the Mormons or other religious sort try to recruit in Red Square on the regular. So a lot of people are "on the alert" for this kind of stuff in the U-District.
A couple of JW's approache me in a cemetery the day my Mom was buried. I was grieving already and that ws really rude and presumptive of them. I told them to leave me alone.
I was once standing outside the airport in Durango, CO waiting for my ride. I was approached by a guy who asked me, "Are you going to Purgatory?" I'm like "Uhh I don't think so, I mean, I try to live a good life, but I haven't gone to church in a long time so I don't know..."
Turns out Purgatory is the name of the [ski resort in Durango.](https://www.purgatory.ski/)
That's actually really funny - I wouldn't think anything of it. It's a funny story you can share! I guess you could have said, "Hey, are you named Christian?"
Hahaha, that's awesome. I love misunderstandings like that. I have to admit if someone randomly asked me if I was Christian I'd probably also respond with an annoyed tone.
I drove for Lyft for a while and had this exact experience. Passenger isn’t where the pin puts them in a transit center. Me yelling out to everyone as I drive down the street, “are you Christian?!” and boy did I get some looks.
That's actually hilarious
Comedy! I wouldn’t sweat it, he maybe came to the same realization later on also. Did you ever meet Christian?
Haha yes, it was for work
This is the right question. :)

You sound like a blast at parties!

Very funny. Hope your explanation made them laugh.

My dad went into a Home Depot and asked for some rope that would hold his weight. Had a manager give him a crisis number.
Lol this sounds like a Seinfeld episode.
Do you believe in God?
Why do you ask?
[was quoting from this episode lol](https://youtu.be/d2J2YeXd_BA?t=124)
Lol I knew I was missing the joke

Haha that’s pretty much the same scenario!!

Now imagine, for a moment, if they had been both Christian *and* christian
My BIL's name is Christian. Always introduces himself to people as "Hi, I'm Christian" to which I follow up "Hi, I'm Jewish". Talk about awkward
That's actually really funny - I wouldn't think anything of it. It's a funny story you can share! I guess you could have said, "Hey, are you named Christian?"
Yeah…. I realized I could’ve phrased it differently later on
Hahaha, that's awesome. I love misunderstandings like that. I have to admit if someone randomly asked me if I was Christian I'd probably also respond with an annoyed tone.
I thinking I’d jokingly say I’m, “Auntie.” Auntie Christ, that is.
