Cruel Parents - Bad Names

I grew up with a somewhat unusual name...I think what caused people to pick on my name was its existence in so many stories and commercial avenues..."Casey at the Bat", "Casey Jones", "KC and the Sunshine Band", "Kacey Fine Furniture", and "Casey the talking Robot" were all terms I was expected to answer to. I won't even begin to relay the slaughterings my 13 letter German last name got. I go by "Case" now, because it is more unique than "Casey" which seems to have grown in popularity since I was a kid. Also, my family always called me "Case." I find it odd when people call me Casey, now. What is even worse, though, is my brother's name is Justin.
