the name game.

i realize that "camille" is not the most common of names. i would not expect anyone to spell my name correctly upon hearing it (well, perhaps a native french...or someone with a particular interest in french culture/language), even then, not necessarily expected. that being said, it's always a small victory when i give my name to the hostess at chuy's, or the cashier at jamba juice, and i see that perfect spelling smiling back at me. i feel a sense of pride!

here is a list of some spellings that have been of particular interest over the years:
kuhmeel
kamoyl (what?)
camil (so close)
cameal
cammile (my personal favorite, and surprisingly the most common)


however, never have i had someone mangle the spelling so beyond recognition that i had to immortalize the mistake in a photo, and then blog about it...until that blazing august day:



seriously?

your's in name,
cuh-meal.

p.s. thanks huy-khoi for help with my camera to computer "problem". mad props.
