People don't realise they are sentencing their kids to a lifetime, A LIFETIME -- even into adulthood, of spelling their name and it STILL being wrong. Or having it mispronounced. Can you imagine the smirks and giggles that will accompany the teacher on opening day when she says "Zeldefinda Jones?"

I've got one of those names, but it's a short name. That's why, as an adult, I use just the initial of my first name, then my last name. However, the phone company WON'T LET ME use just my initial. They're the only utility company that won't. At least if I get new junk mail, I'll know who to track it to.
