Here is a deceptively simple riddle: What belongs to you, but other people use it more than you do?
The answer is your name.
Your name is yours, but most of the time you are not the person saying it. Other people use it when they call you, introduce you, talk about you, or try to get your attention.
That is why this riddle works so well. It makes you think about objects you own, but the answer is something personal that is used constantly by everyone around you.
Answer: Your name.
If you guessed something like your phone or your address, you were thinking in the right direction — just a little too literally.
