I like, my name, but the problem is that (except for dutch and flemish people), the rest of the world can't pronounce it Good ol' Dave Goyvaerts
I have a customer "Dick's Studio" down in Texas. If that's not bad enough the owners names are, I swear, Mary and Harry................ Dick. She calls to place orders and always says in that Texas drawl, "Hay! This is MEEERRY DEE-ICK." Her husband went with Herald for a while, but eventually gave up 'cause everyone called him Harry. Been customers for over 20 years. I, on the other hand, was completely insatisfied with my first name, as was my mother, who let my father name me after my paternal grandfather, WHO NO ONE LIKED. SO, from the day I came home from the hospital, I've gone by my middle name. "Good Ol' DAVE"
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner! Seriously, and with no disrespect intended, have you ever tried to get on an airplane?
It does put "Dick Pound" in a different light!! Dane (the Pain, went down the Drain, all the way to Spain, who's mom's inSane, yada, frickin' yada....)
