SHARELL

I've seen this spelling of my name many, many times before. However, this time it's special because it's not from a Starbucks or any other kind of restaurant or eating establishment. I ventured behind the Orange Curtain (i.e., Orange County, land of Disney, the Nixon Library and center of political conservatism in California) for brunch and a movie with my dear friend, George, who just moved down there.

The security guard at the gated community halted my car and asked my name. She didn't seem confused by my name, but when she handed me the pass to place on my car's dashboard, the above is what I got.  This may be an isolated instant, and I'll have to test this in more detail as I continue to visit the O.C. 

Until next time, remember the Name Is CHERYL.

  1. I'm surprised that you never got "Cherely". My personal favourite is "Cherly" which would be pronounced "Share-lee" but some people don't bother to actually read what they just wrote ;). My grandfather was Irish and mispronounced a lot of words. He mostly called me "Shirley". I'll forgive him since he had 33 grandchildren and 20 great grandchildren to remember names for lol. Nice posts. I think I'll collect more spellings for you :D ~Cheryl
