Names

[celticdragonfly]

I can never figure this out. As I go through life, inevitably people end up referring to me as Laurie. I don't know why. I'm not a Laurie, I dislike the name. When it was just the inevitable gym teacher, I figured they must have misheard it and I coped. But as an adult I see again and again someone gets it FROM A WRITTEN SOURCE and still refers to me as Laurie. Like when I'm sending out an email to an email list, signed Laura, and the reply comes back referring to Laurie.

I cannot figure this out. It's not like Laura is a rare unusual weird name.
