Yeah, this is a great opener to break the ice with during an interview.
You can even add some prestidigitation by having them take 30 seconds to Google it and your name comes up. Play it off as a joke and now everyone has a little smirk/chuckle over it.
Now they know you have a good personality and can tell a funny joke about yourself. Goes a long way to putting you in that “I can work with this person” category.
Also, if they can’t appreciate the joke, that’s an easy red flag for you that you probably don’t ever want to work for that team.
You both make good points, on second thought it’s all about how you spin it :)
