I have a relatively common name IRL, but my mom chose to spell it somewhat uncoventionally. My spelling is not unheard of (she took it from a Steinbeck title), but the majority of people who have the same name spell it differently from how I do.
So of course, I’m CONSTANTLY getting things, notes, emails, even from close friends, with the more common but still incorrect spelling of my name.
This is all about to change, if only because for the first time in my life, people are running in terror at the sound of my name.
No; Wrath would have been closer: The main roads out of the Grand Strand were clear Saturday morning, very different from about eight hours earlier when bumper-to-bumper traffic stretched for about 60 miles as people evacuated from Charley’s path. You BETTER evacuate from my path.
You certainly do. Could you please try not to veer to the west and take out either my in-laws in Greensboro or my parents in Western Maryland? They promise to fear your wrath and all…
I must admit that I have a similar problem, although there is no loss of life in my case. My name is Lindsay, and the only good thing about Lindsay Lohan is that she spells her name correctly. Now perhaps people will stop trying to call me Lindsey.
My friend Irene very much enjoyed Hurricane Irene about six years ago. The highlight for her was a newspaper headline that said “GET OUT OF IRENE’S WAY.”
