I've heard mage garbled into madge, but never mahj. Urgh, heh. But then again, I am amazed at the number of people who just go blank trying to spell my last name. McCormick isn't a weird name :) So, I start spelling it for them... "Em, Cee, Cee"... "What, 2 C's?" Which doesn't help when we've just got through trying to spell my first name. Deana... pronounced Dee-An-Uh. Person: "Dee-eye-ay-en-ay"... "Dee-Ee, actually"... Person has dumbfounded look "Really?" "No, I am lying. My name is Deana, I spell it Diana." If you're not from So. Ohio where vowels are pronounced differently, it's okay. But if you're my great aunt and lived 4 minutes away from me my entire life, it's not.:)
