My name is Haydee, not Heidi. Sound it out slowly in English; Hay, Dee. 2 syllables. Not that hard people! Pet peeve; No, I'm not named after the country (Haiti). Like my parents would really name me after a 3rd world country, I'm also going to have no respect for you if you insist on calling me Heidi. Only those truly close to me are allowed to call me by the Spanish version; I Dee.
