what’s your middle name?

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Quite a common name over here in the UK, back in my day....actually the other way of spelling it - Shaun - is one that I'd never seen until around a dozen years ago....

.....and that was Shaun T...

@SammyJo Just about peed myself when I went to a doctor's appointment and they pronounced it something closer to See-Ann.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Ha! I bet that was funny! I occasionally have issues with my surname - it's Duponte, with the accent on the 'O', so pronounced Doo-Poh-T, but I still get people doing the whole 'E-as-an-A' thing, and pronouncing it Doo-Pont-A.....

Which....is...crazy!

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow My eldest daughter, Martika, get's people getting her name wrong a lot...they seem to miss out the 'R' and call her Matika....

As you can imagine, that get's her pretty annoyed...also, I think i'm right, that's the brand name for a electric drill! Lol! so...erhhh...yeah!

@SammyJo Not sure how you can get her name wrong.lol She has never mentioned it but people seem to be very good at messing up names.

Lol. I know Martika and I don't think I would want to be the poor bastard who got it wrong. lol

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow not that it's my middle name or any of my name, but you should see how confused people get when trying to pronounce Seamus.

@basilfawlty89 🤣 Yep.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Oh, one of her friend's on EP called her 'Marty' once! They never did again! LMAO!

SJD xx

@SammyJo Lol. Oh my.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow It went something like this....

Person : Hi Marty! How you doin' ?

Martika : Hello. Oh, I'm doing fine thanks...and DON'T EVER call me 'Marty' again! It's MARTIKA ! Thank you...

etc...
