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 MR. AND MRS.

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. ' MR. AND MRS.
