V as in vulva. Try it just once.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Bwahahaha! Okay, I will try that the next time.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Vulva should work. Crotch is a miracle of remembrance, swears.

One of the reasons I switched to Raq was that I was really bored with everyone spelling "Rachel" as "Rachael."
People do okay with my last name, but it tends to be illuminating about their interests which "as in?" they go with. "As in the gun?" "As in the cathedral?" "As in the town?" "As in Charles Emerson?"
So far one person has said "As in the brothers in Supernatural?" And that was a Colombian hotel desk clerk.

Because books.
Ooh, score for him, Raq.
I'm always amazed how many people are confused by my last name. It's just ... an Irish name, and it's spelled exactly like it sounds. But I get Gravy and Garver and all kinds of stuff.

Beverly's last name is much harder than mine. Mine at least has enough vowels.

I used to try "As in a light bulb" but that confuses some people even more.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Well, of course, V as in Vampire. That's just logic.
I think, out of the six letters in my last name, I only consistantly spell out the first three. Like some character from another realm who thinks that the spy is named Bondjamesbond. But more like BondBeeOhhEnn. Ish.
Names is weird.
And I really only changed mine so it wouldn't be the same as my sister's. She should have had her bad marriage first. I'd have had more options.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
People pronounce "Fogelson" as "Ferguson" more often than not. Or "Fah-jel-son." I don't know how they get the latter from the former, but the poor checkout clerks who have to chirp "Thank you, Ms.[name on credit card]" have a terrible time of it.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I meant to marry John Smith, I swear, so as to A. get into the first half of the alphabet, and B. have an easily recognized and spelled last name.
Then you get a lot of, "oh there are hundreds of people with your name in our system, can you give us more information".
