Ever see the movie Alien Nation?
Pretty old movie. The premise was an alien spaceship of refugees arrived on earth. So they were genuinely seeking asylum and a place to live, not to invade or conquer or strip mine or whatever.
Everyone on the ship had to go through immigration. They all had unpronounceable names in their own language, so they were all assigned American-ish names. So every alien had a pretty generic American name. But the ones who were near the end of the line got some creative ones as the immigration officers either ran out of ideas or just had a sense of humor.
One of the main characters was an alien who was the first of his species to rise up the ranks of law enforcement to make Detective. Early on, he is introduced to his new partner.
This is Detective Francisco.
What's your first name?
Sam, the name's Sam.
Your name is Sam...Francisco?
