Conversation between me and an American friend.
S: "Do you have any siblings?"
Me: "Yup, I have one brother. His name is Ben."
S: "Wow, that's so mean of your parents!"
Me: "Really? That's actually a really common name in New Zealand. I thought it was kind of universal actually."
S: "What? No way! We don't tend to name children after garbage disposals in America."
Ben. Not bin, S.
