The Thurman is easy to shorten, at least nowadays. Just add a thick drawl to the 'Thur' and say, "but everybody calls me Thor," and roll your eyes a bit. They'll laugh, tease you about it a bit because you got named after a comic book character, and then you won't be known as Thurman.

I'm well aware that Thor did not originate in comic books. Thank you for reading my TED Sp(ew)Ed.

Thursday is Thor's Day. Just say your name is Thur and a day of the week is named after you.

I knew a Thor in highschool. I think his name was actually Anthor? I could be wrong. Knew his brother also, named Mordecai. They had a lot more sibling I never learned their names. They were an...interesting family.
