I'm glad I'm not the only one. And given the trend to unique and unusual name spellings for childrens' names these days, I suspect we will be joined by others as well!

I've had people tell me to my face how my name ought to be spelled and even what my name really is (calling me Sharon really, truly irks me). I can follow the junk mail to source by how my last name is mis-spelled. I too sometimes don't care, then other times get PO'd. I had to laugh over your gender change Jay cause I've had the same happen to me, but the other way around. I sympathize too!

A recurring frustration is when I get return mail, after placing the request with my distinctively deep male voice for items to be addressed to "Jay Nutt" is to receive mail or return telephone calls destined for Jane Ott.
