If I married a Japanese guy, I think I'd change it. If I were marrying an Irish guy with a good hearty Irish name and we were living in Ireland, I might do it.
Otherwise, I already intermittently confuse people.
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You're confusing anyway. I only confuse the people who think I'm a guy, like the lady at the credit card company the other day -- all of a sudden, she was like "Whose card IS this??" "Um, mine?"

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Whose card IS this??
"Well, I guess that would depend. Are you giving me more credit or demanding that I pay it back?"

Art Crawl!!!
My name confused the guy who drew blood from me just this past Tuesday.
(And I am now imagining ita as ita Ito.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I get that all the time, Jesse.
My favorite was the letter from the alumni association of my law school that they sent out about three months after graduation.

It would totally crack me up to be like Jesse Chang, and have people totally all the time think I was a Chinese American dude.
In theory that would crack me up.

Thrive to spite them
I get people calling me by my last name thinking it's my first. And then they have trouble spelling my last name. The UPS guy knows my name, but we always get different Fed Ex guys and they invariablly come back to look at my name plate.

Jesse, please marry a man surnamed ... say ... Ngoma and take his name.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
ita, my fingers are crossed that it's not serious. Mayhap the tinnitus comes from blows to the head? That's not meant to be sarcastic at all; I've heard that boxers often complain about it.
Most people don't properly pronounce my last name. It's only four letters, but they automatically assume that it sounds the same as a particular actress's first name. Wrong language, folks.
