ummmm...I have had weird reactions to my last name before.
but never this...

(translated into english)
"Oh, there was a movie....called..." says a Spanish co-worker who is trying to write down my last name.
"Van Helsing?" I query.
"Yes," she says. "It is the same?"
"Um, no," I reply. "That is not my last name."
"But it is close - yes?" she says.
"Sort-of - I guess"

I'm not a monster-hunter. Just so you know.
