I've dealt with this multiple times and it's not weird.

Though what does get tricky is if there's a few of you in the same circle of people and you're talking about one of the other ones and have to go an extra step to identify which one. Or when somebody calls out your name and you're not sure which one of you they want.

Look people in the eyes when you're talking to them.

Look people in the eyes when you're talking to them.

people aren't always looking at you

sometimes they're turned around or a considerable distance away

if you're in a large group setting people might already be in a conversation with someone else and you need to get their attention

It's impolite to yell across a room, or at somebody.

[Josh]

my boss at work is named Josh, he runs marathons. New people always come up to me like "dude do you really run marathons? Did you set up the 5k run for cystic fibrosis awareness?"

[6M69I69B9]

i just call them by their own name and when they're not looking and more than one marc/k is being referred to, i say "oh, i was talking to this marc/k, sorry."  it's like that when im with another person named marc/k and someone asks for a marc/k too

or sometimes i just add their last name too very briefly

when there's two names, one with a c and one with k and same last name inital, i usually just say, "marc with a c"  or "mark with a k"

i've only met one other person irl with the same letter ending as me.
