Name Lover

Sept. 14, 2007

So, I go inside Starbucks because the outside line is too long. I am wearing my LSU AgCenter nametag. The young dude who took my order said, "I love your name." I asked, "My name or my nametag?" He said name. He has good taste. This affirms my not taking my husband's name or trying to hyphenate. I love all of my names, too!

P.S. Hate to harp on the name (no I don't--it's been such an issue), but now a lady at an event said, "That's a money name." I've also heard "high-dollar name," "I thought you'd be taller with a name that long" and "Mary Ann Van Osdell of the Shreveport Van Osdells."
