I sign my card and write "Ask for ID" on the back. I always thank the person that reads it and asks for my ID.

Quoth Racket_Man View Postnot quite as bad but still....
my neice's name is Christine and her hubbys name is Christopher
Then there are two friends of mine who are Kristina and Christopher, and go by Kristy and Chris.
I've yet to meet a girl with a name that was exclusively male (I have relatives named Toni and Riley, but nothing like Doug or Christopher or Michael)."Enough expository banter. It's time we fight like men. And ladies. And ladies who dress like men. For Gilgamesh...IT'S MORPHING TIME!"

I am legally Christopher. But I go by Chris (or CJ - my first two initials)
There were five Chris' in my class alone one year in college. Yet the teacher would get me confused with my friend Mark..... ???"On a scale of 1 to banana, whats your favourite colour of the alphabet?"

Quoth zombiequeen View PostMine says it's valid, and I double-checked at the bank when I received my card. It must be a different-areas or different-banks thing.

Quoth EricKei View PostIf it doesn't say VISA/MC/AMEX/etc on there, then yes, it likely follows a different set of rules.
Hybrid debit/credit cards often enjoy slightly limited protections as compared to their full credit cousins, and the rules for use are just slightly different, too, depending on the issuing bank.

Quoth tollbaby View PostOkay, I'm all for not giving my kids the same name as every other kid in school, but WHO DOES THAT????
Don't ask me why . . . I don't know what drugs she was on when she delivered him but that's what she picked out.

DGC - Oh dear. Did she at least give him a more usable middle name to go by?
Then again, he could just make something up -- That's what my Dad did. His real name was Arlen. For reasons never satisfactorily explained, he went by Billy. No part of his name even vaguely resembles Bill or William ~_~"For a musician, the SNES sound engine is like using Crayola Crayons.

During the US Civil War there was a General Beverly Robertson (CSA). He died before there were credit cards."I don't have to be petty. The Universe does that for me."

Ahh, gender bending and/or unusual names...(and my first name actually originated as a name for males, not females...)
- The training class for the vertical I now work in at Call Center had a woman named Wesley and a guy named Erin. (Erin is still working there, Wesley isn't.)
- My stepson's middle name is Christen and my stepdaughter's middle name is Christine. Also, their mother named her daughter after herself, though the mother's name is spelled slightly differently.
- My grandfather's middle name was Allison. It was also a male name in those days (he was born in 1910)."I was only LOOKING, I didn't mean to enter my card's CVV and actually ORDER! REFUND ME RIGHT NOW!!"

He simply goes by Chris. And I use my middle name (b/c I don't like my first name, which IMO sounds more like a guy's name.)
