re: #122 Anymouse 🌹🏡😷

There are two people in my town named James: Me, and a woman in her mid-twenties. Neither of us is an usurper.

We both insist on being called James (it is a girl’s name too, though not nearly as popular as it used to be). No Jimmy for me or Jamie for her.

It helps keep people here confused, in conversation one has to clarify which James you’re talking about.

One of my professional engagements was with a team that had four Chrises. Four of them. We wound up having to label them by the first letter of their last name in order to be sure which Chris one was talking about.
