Sometimes when we register for a conference or order a name plaque, the name specified isn’t necessarily the name you’ll subsequently be known as.
Take this for example:
Got a colleague who said "Mike'll do" when asked what he wanted on his tool tags. Two years later they still say Michaeldo.

or this:
Not the worst I've seen. Met a guy with a nut allergy (obvs declared it to let them know his dietary restrictions for lunch) and they put {Joe Bloggs] No Nuts on his name badge.

or imagine this:
I had a name plate made for my door at work. It read 'for Howard Kemp'

Sometimes you just have to spell it out:
Rather than spell my last name, I said "Ground, like dirt" . The engraved invitation – from Rideau Hall, no less – arrived: "Derek Groundlikedirt" .

Ha! Love that. Reminds me of the time that just for a larf I completed the registration process at my old firm and the computer printed it. pic.twitter.com/uQjIAsW19n
