I am always stunned when people ask me to spell my first name.
I'm even more stunned when I see it spelled wrong.
This is not as uncommon as it should be.
Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

Natter 54: Right here, dammit.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The most common one is "Dru."

Aimee, tell Joe he might want to pack some work gloves if he has a pair.

Always Anti-fascist!
People generally write "Erica" which, no big. Except I just wrote the "k" myself. Do you not think I can spell my own name?

I've been here since 8:15. I think it is time to go home.
There'd better be hot water.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I got asked if my name was "Ha" last week. That doesn't happen as often as it used to--primarily because most of the time it's handwritten it's by me and lower-case and the "I" and the "t" aren't behaving all inappropriately towards each other. Most of the times when I'm asked my name by people who are going to handwrite I just give them my last name. Can't do that in the ER.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I think now, after 8 years of marriage, all of the relatives I'm in regular contact with have finally worked it out that my husband's name isn't Dillon and that our last name only has one L. Did they think we were spelling it wrong on our own wedding invitations and Christmas cards?
ETA and Annabel is already Annabelle, Annabell, Anabelle, etc. Not that this is a surprise to us--we knew we were violating our "only one standard spelling" rule when we chose her name.
