When giving their last names, some of my German colleagues have little phrases they use to make it clear, for example "Löwe, wie das Tier" ("Löwe, like the animal" -- Löwe being the German word for Lion).

I've been thinking I should start saying "Rijks, wie das Museum in Amsterdam" -- "Rijks, like the museum in Amsterdam".

(Although perhaps my parents would prefer "Rijks, like the gallery in Colorado")
