At 19, Ismael Meza generally goes by his middle name. The Paraguayan man carries his ID with him at all times, because people think he's joking when they hear the full thing.<\/p>\n

Ismael's father Victor grew up loving Transformers<\/i>, so he named his son \"Optimosprayn.\"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Coming up through school, teachers refused to believe him when he introduced himself and the other kids made fun of him. He's since come to embrace the name - and so has his mother, Yolanda, who wanted to name him after Puerto Rican pop star Chayanne (which shows that perhaps both<\/b> parents aren't the world's greatest decision-makers - or are at least total nerds for different things).<\/p>\n

These days, Optimosprayn is accustomed to the jokes. He's even got an Autobot tattoo on his neck. \"The comments that are bad I just listen and laugh at now. And there are some that are funny. If you're not going to laugh, it's a lost day.\"<\/p>\n
