Atlanta realtor Hunter Fisher was pleased to be interviewed by local news station WSBTV on New Year’s Eve – until he discovered he had been given a fake name by the network because it didn’t believe his own could be real.

“Emma and I made it on TV but the camera guy didn’t believe my name was Hunter Fisher so he just made one up for me,” Fisher wrote in a tweet that has since been shared over 28,000 times.

WSBTV gave Fisher the name Benjamin Holcomb instead, which is also the name of a California author. Someone pointed this out on Twitter, and the real Holcomb joined in with the fun.

@HunterFisher21 I wonder if @BenjaminHolcomb knows about this and @wsbtv are having a right good laugh over it ?, I peed myself laughing over it.
