I have to spell "Ginger" more often than you'd imagine, even after I say, "Like the spice. Like ginger snaps, gingerbread, ginger ale."

[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.
So far one person has said "As in the brothers in Supernatural?" And that was a Colombian hotel desk clerk.
Which reminds me, I need to call Dean the technical support guy for a favour today. It's much lamer to ask someone based on their *first* name, but tech support Dean is indeed a fan of the Winchesters, so dork points scored there.

Do they all think of the Duggars and their child with the heinous name "Jingur"?

"I suspect his ancestors probably owned mine."
Snap.
My sister and I loosely plan to visit our ancestral clan home on our father's side in Scotland at some time, and plead kinship based on either blood or or ownership. We did use to wear the tartan from time to time.

Thrive to spite them
My last name is tricky. 5 letters but tricky. Sounds like it starts with an L not an E so that throws people off and there's a Z in there,.
The other day I was trying to do something and spelled my name wrong, and the person didn't understand what I said so I went with "E as in elephant, L as in lion, Z as in zebra, I as in ice, E as in elephant." and I get back "Is it spelled TFGIT?
Because it's pronounced LZ people try to throw an L at the beginning. So when asked for my last name I usually say "I'll spell it for you".

And now I feel like a shit heel because tech support Dean is totally running reports for me because I can't work out how to do them myself. It's not his job. It's not about his application. It's just something he mentioned he knew how to do. We don't work for the same company, and this isn't making them any money.
But we will always have Supernatural.

Our wings are not tired
I'm shocked at how often I'm asked to spell my first name. It's the past tense of draw people. I also get a disturbing number of messed up spellings of my first name, I just boggle. My last name I understand being butchered, it's not common and it was originally gaelic, so it's a mess.

My last name is an oddly spelled version of a common word. I just go straight for the spelling.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
ND, I worked with someone who spelled his first name (same as yours) with a "u".

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Was he a fantastically deranged vampire in a Joss show?
