By ELAINE TOWNSHEND
Call me anything; just
don't call me late for lunch.
That's a common phrase
used when someone asks
how they should refer to you
or when someone addresses
you by the wrong name. It's
a way to let people know you
forgive -them for forgetting
your name; you've forgotten
a few names yourself.
I've mentioned this before,
but I'll mention it'again. I
have problems with my
name; in tact, I have
problems with both my
names.
Take my first name, for
example. It's pronounced
with the long sound "E"
followed by "lane", as in a
narrow street or road. A
silent "1" is thrown in the
middle of the lane just to add
confusion. Some Elaynes use
a silent "y". which probably
achieves the same purpose.
Elaine isn't an uncommon
name, is it? I've run across a
few of them in my lifetime.
For some strange reason.
I'm called a variety of
names by a variety of
people. The most popular, is
Eileen, but I'm also referred
to as Aileen, Ellen, Helen,
Lucy. Shrimp and Squirt.
Just call me
'(The last two 1 aon t even
dignify by raising my head.'
Behind my back, I'm
probably called names I'd
rather not hear.
Many people call me
Eileen; I don't mind; I like
the name, but I got into an
embarrassing situation
because of it. I was called
Eileen so often, that I fell
into the habit of answering to
Eileen almost as quickly as I
answered to Elaine.
One night the phone rang;
a man asked for Eileen;
without thinking. - I said,
"This is she." Too late .I
realized he really did want
Eileen.-
It was extremely difficult
to explain that not only was I
not the Eileen he wanted but
I wasn't Eileen at all. Why
did 1 say I was, when I
wasn't? I'll never do that
again!
Now let's look at my last
name - Townshend. I un-
derstand why people omit
the silent "h"; I insist, they
put it in, but I understand
why they forget it.
Sometimes people forget
other letters. such as the w,s
or an n. I've received mail

addressed to Elaine
Towshed, Eileen Tonsend,
Aileen Towsent and Elaine
Townshead.
The labels Miss and Ms
add to the variety. Once 1
received a letter addressed
to Mrs. Elaine Townshend.
That really shook me!
The people at the Post
Office are extremely
tolerant. They've become
familiar with most of the
variations; if it looks close
enough to my name, they
throw it in my box. Only once
have I been asked, "Do you
suppose this is for you?"
"Your guess is as good as
mine," was my reply.
My middle name, by the
way, is Marie, which seldom
causes any problems. If you
say my initials quickly,
though. EMT sounds like
empty.
Some people are named
after their parents favourite
movie stars, sports' heroes,
political figures or beloved
relatives or close friends.
When I asked my parents
what prompted them to call
me Elaine Marie, they were
stumped, "Oh, I guess we
thought it sounded nice
together."
Little did they know people
would find many variations
for the simple r.ame. Oh
well, variety is the spice of
life. It's confusing at times,
but I don't mind. '
