Do people ever get your name wrong?
I'm just wondering because mine, Jovvi (Jo-Vee), can be most interesting when folk get it wrong, for instance:
* At my one filing job my name became Jody. They liked it, it was easy to remember so be it.
* The maid here has decided Joey works for her.
* My littlest nephew thinks Joanie is a better version.
* I've had it spelt Jofi and Joffi before.
* Sometimes folk see the double v as a w and so its Jowi.
* Those few who say it right then often spell it Jovi, missing the all important second v that adds so much more pizzazz!
I begin to see why so many parents give their kids common, easy to spell names! (And even so you get variations! Jon - John; Kerryn, Kerin, Karin...) Aaah, good grief!
