#GrowingUpWithMyName: People Take To Twitter To Vent About Life With An Unusual Name

When you have a name like Rachel Moss it's bloomin' difficult to find a Twitter/Instagram/Snapchat handle that hasn't already been taken.

But in the grand scheme of things, having a boring name isn't all that bad.

In comparison, having an unusual name, or one that's the same as a celebrity, is far more challenging, as proven by the hashtag #GrowingUpWithMyName....

Teacher: ok guys I'm going to take role, sorry if say your name wrong
