I have been thinking about changing the spelling of my name....just wondering what anyone thinks about that. My mom offered to let me do this years ago and at the time didn't care, but now I am thinking about it.
Growing up, nobody could ever pronounce my name, and that was very frustrating, I hated my name! Now, I do like that my name is unique, and it has grown on me....but, since the Maury Povich show has come about.....everyone can pronounce my name...(making me like it better), but now, everyone thinks I am a man!! People are always saying stuff like, I e-mailed your husband, or calling me, asking to speak to my husband Maury, I hate that! So....I am thinking about... Maurie that is just like Laurie, and nobody has problems with that name. Of course, then I would probably get people calling me Marie b/c there is just the difference with the U in there. I thought just Mauri but that kinda looks like it is unfinished at the end. Any thougths???
Maury
Mauri
Maurie
I don't think I like the idea. I don't think you would be the same Maury.
ReplyDeleteoh, i don't know. i'm as undecisive as you are! obviously, tj and i both like names that are a little different. i think maury fits you. i do think that maurie is a cute way to spell it, though.
ReplyDeletei'm excited to hear you're giving homeschooling another try...not because i think it's the only or best answer, but just because it's fun to share something with someone, and get encouragement/ share struggles, etc. it kinda ties us together. :)
oh, i don't know. i understand all of what you said and maurie is kinda cute. but it matters not all to me. you'll always be you! do what works for you!
ReplyDeletehow about Maw-Ree? or MahRhee? You love me don't ya.........
ReplyDeleteI'm all for Maurie- it's very girly! I can sympathize with you because every time I call in something for Jayden they call her a 'him.' Do what makes you happy, it's really only a formality. You are who you are, a few changes in letters won't make a bit of difference to who you are in that heart of yours. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you're going to change, I vote for Maurie. It goes along with Laurie, which is always a girl's name. Well, except for in Little Women.
