What’s in a name especially when no one cares to get it right?

Save the name butchering. Count the syllables and just sound it out.
I don’t even bother looking at pens, mugs, Coke bottles, or buttons anymore because I’ve accepted I’ll never see my name on them.
Awww, Quita! LOL I can never find anything feminine for Tyler, if that makes you feel any better!
