Hey Khany -- were you named after the Star Trek villain, by any chance?
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I default to LEE-roy. The only Luh-ROY I knew spelled it LeRoi and actually pronounced it more like Luh-wah.

One thing I loved about being in TX was mothers' ability to say their childrens' names as multiple syllables no matter what. A friend had children Zach, Will, and Matt all of which were 2-3 syllables.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

As in "the King"?
I suppose it's a roundabout way of getting to Elvis.

My mother's version of this was to use my first, middle and last names when she called me. Although I've had friends who used to sing-song my name out to two or three syllables to annoy the crap out of me.

My great uncle's first name was King. I've always thought that was way cool, if a little pretentious.

So did I, but she was MIH-kel, not pronounced like Michael.
Was she Eastern European in any way? I vaguely remember that Mikel's name was explained as "oh, her mom's Ukranian." (We just said it Michael, though that may not have been strictly correct.)
I also went to elementary school with a girl called Kyde. Her mom claimed it was Native American of some sort.
But the kid I knew who had the most trouble with his name, as far as teachers went, was Kjeld, which is -- Swedish, I think? It was death to substitutes. (He said Keld, though that may not be how it's pronounced in Stockholm.)
