I'll be working on my script, anticipating the day I'm asked to record my message about my name. At this point, the main mistake I hear is people who pronouced my last name "McAuthor." I don't mind that one!Debra McArthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07434251789378141335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755502616289652010.post-43220239648897406602010-02-07T15:26:06.701-06:002010-02-07T15:26:06.701-06:00Lisa, if, in a parallel universe, you married Ron ...Lisa, if, in a parallel universe, you married Ron and became Lisa Jahn-Clough Koertge, you could have the pleasure of watching would-be censors choke to death trying to pronounce your last name.<br /><br />Lucky for me, my name, Peppermint, is easy.

I went to a real studio to do it. And they kept coaching me, and they'd replay part of the recording and point out what I could do better. Meanwhile, my own voice, reading my own words, is playing loudly on the overhead and all I can do is cover my ears and writhe on the floor shouting TURN IT OFF!

It's an old German moniker (think Goethe) that has been Anglicized. Either way, it's a mouthful. Or, as Chris said, a train-wreck.<br /><br />RKRon Koertgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007470685805649302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755502616289652010.post-77709500074704919582010-02-07T10:32:21.555-06:002010-02-07T10:32:21.555-06:00Interesting site, Lisa.
