That’s not my name (clap clap)

It’s widely known throughout my world that my name is the source of much confusion. How quickly Lindy evolves into Linda into Mindy into Mandy into Amanda into Katrina into Gert into Barb.

Then I got married, and all hell broke loose. And now I get to answer to Mandy Moore or Amanda Bryant AND have conversations such as these:

Coworker: Okay whoa. Your desk used to say a different last name so I’m like really confu— 
Me: Just give me the damn paperwork.

and

Coworker: Are you Lindy M or Lindy R?
Me: Both. Lindy R is my new name.
Coworker: New as in you got married or new as in you liked that name better so you decided to start using it?
