On the origins of my middle name

My middle name is "Tadao". It's Japanese, it was my grandfather's name, and it means "honor" or something to that effect. Sounds all well and good, right?

But nowadays, whenever I happen to tell someone my middle name, their eyes automatically bug out, and they exclaim, "TaDOW! How do you like me now?! ... Beeyaaatch?!"*

Mind you, this is completely regardless of their age, ethnicity, and gender. The first dozen times merely baffled me. So, I researched: evidently Snoop Dogg's "Doggy Dogg World" video featured a pimp named "Taa-Dow" back in the day, and it has since neatly metamorphosed into a classy urban interjection/adjective.

Well, it's still better than back in grade school, when the girl with the crazy poofy hair would call me "Tadao Sassoon." Gnnnnghhhh.....

* Often, this expression will be accompanied with a proper echo effect, e.g. "Beeeyaaatch! eeeyaaatch! eeyaaatch! eeyaaatch!"
