    This whole post triggered me.

    I love my mum and dad very much.

    But it gets somewhat tedious when you have to spell your name quite possibly over a hundred thousand times in your lifetime.

      My name is is 8 letters long. 15 if you want to count my moddle name and spaces. Unfortunately i have a very uncommon first name, and an even less common last name that makes me 100% the only person on earth with my name.

        Ok BobBarkerBagels, we know it’s you.

        (I think the math checks out - it’s very late or very early)

      Yeah, it’s annoying to spell my 5 letter last name once in a while. I can only imagine it gets quite a bit worse with increasing frequency and letters. If you don’t mind my asking, what’s your first name?

          It’s a valid question in a convo about names. I’m curious lol I understand the need for privacy, it’s important. I asked if they’d be willing to share, I just like crying at Tragedeighs once in a while.

        As someone with a long name, the bane of my existence is signing online forms without a touch screen. I just had to sign off on four different consent forms online for a new doctor’s office - using my mouse.

        I usually take time with my signature, but for this I did the lazy thing of a stylized first letter, followed by a squiggle. I don’t like doing that and don’t want to do that… but I’m tired, y’all.
