Tangentially related- My name is the same as that of a 1970s song title and chorus and I worked in a place where a co-worker spoke that line to me every time he saw me every single day. I wanted to kill him by the time I left. I also hate that song. And no, I won’t tell you what song.
I feel you. I was in junior high when the matrix came out. My last name is Anderson. I fucking hated that shit. Misteeer Anderson… Inevitably they would wait for me to say My name is neo but they didn’t get it.

It’s gotta be Roxanne.
Damn it, you figured it out!
It’s a cute name too, but yeah it would pop into my head every time I hear your name
Roxanne!

I’ll just say that it was not Mandy by Barry Manilow. Because they didn’t name boys Mandy back then.
EDIT: No wait, there’s Mandy Patinkin. Anyway, my name isn’t Mandy.
Gotcha, Sue.
