To my fellow Joanne...I know exactly what you mean about the names and spellings you get for your name.

For some reason, my parents chose to spell MY name as Jo-Anne, but I never, ever spell it that way because I hate it! But it has led to people treating it as a first name and middle name, so they'd call me Jo, which I don't care for. (My actual middle "name" is just the letter "B", which I also hated when I was younger. It represents being the 2nd baby born in a set of triplets...Janet is A, I'm B, and Jean is C. Clever, eh?!)
