Yeah, it's annoying to spell my 5 letter last name once in a while. I can only imagine it gets quite a bit worse with increasing frequency and letters. If you don't mind my asking, what's your first name?

Mother's maiden name as well, if you please.

Would also love to hear your thoughts on your first pet's name?

Oh, and your 3rd grade teacher's name, just to compare.

It's a valid question in a convo about names. I'm curious lol I understand the need for privacy, it's important. I asked if they'd be willing to share, I just like crying at Tragedeighs once in a while.

As someone with a long name, the bane of my existence is signing online forms without a touch screen. I just had to sign off on four different consent forms online for a new doctor’s office - using my mouse.

I usually take time with my signature, but for this I did the lazy thing of a stylized first letter, followed by a squiggle. I don’t like doing that and don’t want to do that… but I’m tired, y’all.
