Jeff here, but parents didn't know how to spell full name, co it came out Jefferey.

Doesn't bother me, makes me unique. I only hear the full name when I'm in trouble.

The last name is a big issue though. It's french and hard to spell and pronounce. NOBODY ever gets it right, even after I tell them how to pronounce it.

The only people to ever pronounce it right the first time were my French teacher in HS (go figure) and a hotel clerk in Canada (again, big shock).

The best part about it is I can tell when a telemarketer is on the phone.

Telemarketer - "Hi Mr. uhh, uummm (bad attempt at pronouncing name).

Me - "Sorry, no one here by that name." click
