You know what really drives me nuts?

People who have last names that sounds like first names.  For example, John Robert or Lisa Leslie.

Why does this drive me crazy?  Because I’m an idiot and get their names fixed up.  Then I end up calling John, Robert, and Lisa, Leslie and everything turns into a big ole I’m an idiot fest!  This happened to me the other day at work and after a coworker pointed it out to me, I felt terrible and HAD to apologize to the person right away.  Now, whenever I see that person, all I can think about is how I butchered their name and I just keep reminding myself in my head of what his actual first name is!

Thank goodness my kids’ last name will be Davidson.  Although I’m sure there are people out there whose first names are Davidson, I don’t think it’s very common.
