Of course they do.
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I changed my name when I got married because it seemed like the right thing to do. I went from a short last name that frequently got misspelled to a longer last name that I spell for people frequently.

I think I will never at this point get married and also At this point I will never change my name. But I did choose to add the Brooks to my name unkfficially, and may someday get a legal name change because that is just me and I am glad I chose it. When I was younger, I thought it would depend on how good the name sounded!
My BFF ended up changing her name because when she was going through a hard time, her brother bought her a car and put it in her married name. It was easier to change her name than the title to the car!

Also, Jessica, how in the world do they misspell your last name? It is an actual word. No one misspells any of my name, but they do call me the complete wrong name. My last name is a first name and people also just seem to go with any old name that starts with an n.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
People misspell and mispronounce everything. No matter what. It's like a challenge. My last name is six letters long and not difficult. And yet.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I have learned with my last name that people don't generally listen to you pronounce your name, they just try to slot it to a name they know.
No matter now many times I say my last name, spell it out (all four letters) and pronounce it again, a certain number of people will look at me blankly and reply "Mays?"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I even had a substitute teacher insist I must have the spelling of my name wrong.

Our wings are not tired.
Yep, I frequently get Holtz. Still have to spell it, but it doesn't take as long as when it was Gustafson or Glodowski.

I once got Noseworthy. But usually Ozone.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
People mispronounce my name a fair amount, which is always funny to me, because you just say all the letters in the common English manner.
I am home from the traditional 3rd of July at my uncle and aunt's, which is delightful, even if we got stuck in allllll the traffic yesterday. I think everyone was trying to "beat the crowds."
