HelpRe: We talk about the slaughter of spellings, what about pronunciations?
in reply to a message by Llewella
No I didn't know that! Cool. When I went on line first years ago and googled my name(as you do) I was surprised by all the people called that - it seems to be popular with Turkish people and Asian Americans.
I don't have as many problems as I used to do since I moved to the West Coast since it is more common here. It is still a rare name - I have only ever met two people with my surname who are not related to me. There is a notorious woman who shares her last name with me who was jailed for paying someone to murder her husband so now I get "Oh any relation to X. Ha, ha!"
I don't know how people can't spell it since it rhymes with a popular Irish first name. Grr! They stick an o or e or a instead of the i!
I love the Darth story.
