So at my little sister's school, everyone calls the math teacher Mrs. Y. It seems kind of ridiculous, because none of the other teachers are referred to by initials and the math teacher's name is pretty easy to pronounce as far as I can tell.
Me: Wait, why not just call her Mrs. [name removed to protect the innocent]?
Sister: Oh, c'mon. It's an Indian name, WHITE BRAIN CANNOT COMPUTE
lmao. Sad but true.

Aaaaaand it helps if the owner of said name pronounces it in sup-er slo-mo for you (i.e. me).
But, yeah. I'd rather be Mrs. Y than Mrs. Yargenblad, Yarglebudd, Yaygenbly, etc.
