most people i meet whenever they need to spell my name: how’s lindsey spelt? okay cool [writes down my last name without asking for the spelling bc it’s pretty simple]

someone i met today: how do you spell your last name? okay cool [writes down first name without asking]

i was just like are you. are you sure that’s the part you want to be questioning,, but they got it right so okay then, whatever works

#the thing is lindsey is a very simple basic name #but it has 500 spellings #is there a y or an i an e or an a is there a z or an s is the d there or not is there an e or- #which is why people generally check #except my extended family they never check my relatives just throw a dart at an alphabet chart and chuck whatever it lands on in #the most popular ones are typically lindsey lindsay lyndsay and lyndsey from what i've seen #but even still that's four to take a guess from #so i was just left sitting there like you're...you're not going to ask for the first-oh okay. okay then. you know that somehow #who was it in primary school #someone in primary school said my name would be cooler with a z so they wrote it linzy i think #someone else said they liked it better without the d #so my 'nickname' was them writing it without the d #at the time i was just like omg people are paying attention to me are these friends #looking back now though. ????? why did you hate the d??? why is a z cooler??? why is my name customisable ??? wild
