My name

I always thought my name was weird and singular -- "Kelly Kleinfelter" does not seem like it would happen twice, you know? Upon Googling myself, however, I have come to find that there are several similarly named women out there (not sure whether there are any men). Some spell it "Klinefelter," but it's still the same name.

This makes me wonder about their lives and the lives of their families. My name has meant a lot to me and has shaped some experiences in profound ways. I can not say that having this mouthful of a name hasn't been a burden for me.

Are they constantly asked to spell out their/our name? Does this annoy them? Embarrass them?

Are they amused by creative misspellings of their/our name? (For the record, the best I've seen so far is "Kelley Caleinselczer").

Were they ever called "Kelly Feltersnatch" by teasing boys in high school?
