I bet people who didn’t like Alexander the Great tried to get away with not saying his whole name.
“Hey there, Alex.” 
[Alexander the Great just stands there.] 
“What ho, Alex.” 
[Looks around.] “I’m sorry, but who are you talking to?” 
[sighs] “What ho, Alex the Great.” 
“Alex the Great, who’s that? That sounds very similar to my name . . .” 
“Hello Alexander the Great.” 
“Oh, hello! Hi. Nice to see you. So—are you ready to be beheaded?” 
“Yeah, great.”
