[quote=Anonymous]I'm another generic middle-aged white lady with a less common but not at all unfamiliar name with an alternate spelling. It does drive me crazy when people use the alternate spelling in an email when the correct spelling is right there in the To: line, but I also realize that a lot of people spell phonetically or based on familiarity and aren't even aware when they're using different variations of a word or name. I do have to restrain myself on baby name threads where someone is in hysterics over choosing the absolute most unique name in all the land because they can't bear the thought of more than one head turning on the playground when their precious child's name is called. All I wanted as a kid was to buy a license plate for my bike at the boardwalk souvenir shop or hear the teacher pronounce my name right on the first day of school![/quote]
