Sun-tan?

Because of the different-ness in my name, I often have to give people instructions on how to spell it.

"Melody as in music"

"Tan as in sun-tan"

That usually works . . . until today.

Me: "My last name is Tan. Like in sun-tan."

Girl on phone: "So, the last name is sun-tan?"

Who in the world has sun-tan as their last name?!?!?!??!
