LONDON -- Let's all take a moment to spare a thought for Leicester City football player Christian Fuchs, whose name landed him in a spot of bother recently when he checked in to a hotel.

Fuchs was born in Austria, and currently plays as a defender for Premier League team Leicester City.

As you can imagine, his name stands out on the pitch.

The problem is, his name can also lead to the occasional spot of confusion.

Fuchs shared the following photo of a hotel room card he'd been given on his Instagram account on Tuesday.

Wrong name on room card. Still took that room #NoFuchsGiven A photo posted by Christian Fuchs (@fuchs_official) on Nov 9, 2015 at 2:25pm PST


Good on Fuchs for taking the room anyway (and we've got a lot of time for his choice of hashtag, we seems to have sparked something of a trend on social media).

@FuchsOfficial the #NoFuchsGiven is one of the best hashtags out there!— Dan (@dtheochari) November 12, 2015

I think I might love Christian Fuchs #NoFuchsGiven pic.twitter.com/CkkBICySzM— Chris Deeley (@ThatChris1209) November 12, 2015

(Although it also seems to have caused confusion among some.)

How is #NoFuchsGiven a legitimate hashtag but #NoFucksGiven isn't? What the fuck does that first one even mean?— Shelby Mathis (@shelby14ann) November 13, 2015

Keep on giving no Fuchs, Christian.
