Thanks!
spelling your name, as a way to insure we know who you are, is important!
a few added vowels isn't as bad as the 'creative'
spellings. we know that there is a 'katherine, catherine, cathrine or kathrine' it's the
'kathyryne' faction that make it impossible for us to find you!
in the hospital there is a person who prepares a birth certificate. They fill out the form and a few days after the birth the parents are REQUIRED to sign it. Sometimes the mom will sign first and the dad has to come in later to finish the process.
I have seen people argue and almost come to blows over the name on that BC. It's funny and scary to think that two grownups cannot agree on a name!
sometimes a father will come down to sigh the BC and FLIP OUT because the name is spelled differently or changed, not our doing, but the mom's because she thinks she can slip one by the dad. we change it according to the father's wishes and sure enough we get a call back from the mom because the OFFICIAL COPY she ordered doesn't have her version of the kid's name on it!!!
