What's in a name?

Years ago I had a friend who legally changed her last name from Loveless to Love. She just hated constantly having to declare or affirm herself as Loveless every time she said or heard her name. I applauded her decision!

In Memphis, there is a major road called Getwell. The Veteran's hospital is located on Getwell.

The name of the street was changed in WWII...the prior name of the road was Shotwell.

The city wisely didn't think that the VA hospital shouldn't be located on Shotwell.

We have neighbors with girls named Maaya (like Maya) and Mia (Mee-yah). Their poor dad has a hard time keeping their names straight. Then again, Dh has the same problem sometimes with our children's names even though their names are quite different.
