This whole post triggered me.
I love my mum and dad very much.
But it gets somewhat tedious when you have to spell your name quite possibly over a hundred thousand times in your lifetime.
My name is is 8 letters long. 15 if you want to count my moddle name and spaces. Unfortunately i have a very uncommon first name, and an even less common last name that makes me 100% the only person on earth with my name.
Ok BobBarkerBagels, we know it’s you.
(I think the math checks out - it’s very late or very early)
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.
