I saw this guy complaining about his name on Reddit.
His name is Michael and he prefers to be called Mick, but a co-worker insists on calling him Mike, and this is upsetting Michael, er, Mick.
With all the crap going on in the world today, this is his issue?
I know names are important and they should be spelled right, especially in the press, but what’s the big deal?
My name is Tom, along with Tom, people call me Thomas (my given name) Tomás, the Latin way; Tommy, Tom-o and Tombo. I answer to all of them. I’ve been called worse.
I have a customer named Benlida. I love that name, I use it in my cartoons often, for witches. It sounds like a Witch’s name.
I never met the real Benlida. She orders from my business online and has for years, but I know her name, shipping address, phone number, etc. But I just don’t know her personally, or what she looks like.
Some names like Hugh Jass, Anita Bath, Ima Hogg, should not be and if I had a dog, I think I would name him Oliver. Maybe Olive, it if was a girl.
I think I told you about Richard recently, this dog who was a pet of the people who lived next to my parents.
