I love this one. What a surprise when they see you together! As far as I'm concerned, it's not the spelling of the name, but the prestige the person gives to the name. Your Gail will always be your Gail. And I will always be myself. I've known men (and I mean real men) whose name was Beverly and Rosalie. Who can even imagine what their parents were thinking when they chose those names for their boys?!
I am enjoying this thread sooo much.
