Or perhaps you are asked to spell your name anyway, even if it is Smith?<\/p>\n<p>Our names and <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>last<\/strong> names have gotten even more complicated because we have become so international that foreign names are now the rule rather than the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>exception<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Now, my first name is really easy to write and seldom is the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>person<\/strong> who asks me to spell it: Maria. Now, the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>last<\/strong> name, though still very simple requires deeper attention because it is prone to be misunderstood by the most acute ear.<\/p>\n<p>The letter R sounds very much like an I, so <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>people<\/strong> write: Moiatto. The first O is often interpreted as A: Maiatto, and nowadays, it seems that even the TTs are being understood as G: Maiaggo. Kind of far from Moratto, don&#8217;t you think? I bet many <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>people<\/strong> have the same problem.<\/p>\n<p>If I based the spelling of my name on the NATO&#8217;s Phonic Alphabet, you know, the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> used by pilots, the military, and telephone operators, my <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>last<\/strong> name would be: Mike, Oscar, Romeo, Alfa, Tango, Tango, Oscar.<\/p>\n<p>I like the way it sounds; it reminds me of ham radios and the islands of the Pacific for some reason&#8211;did I see too many war movies? I also think that there are way too many masculine names in it.<\/p>\n<p>I would have nothing against this if it weren&#8217;t for the fact that they remind me of some of my former boyfriends, whom I don&#8217;t really care to remember, not because they were bad men, but because they were bad matches.<\/p>\n<p>A good <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>thing<\/strong> when using this system is that if I were to put the A before the R, then I would get Alfa-Romeo, which is indeed a fabulous sports car and makes me <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>feel<\/strong> truly rich. But alas, the R comes before.<\/p>\n<p>To compensate for this mishap, there are two Tangos in my name and that is just delightful. Tango is a musical and dance expression of passion and it reflects who I am.<\/p>\n<p>However, thinking about the spelling of my name and adding to it the fact that I subscribe to the Law of Attraction that states that what you think and say manifest to you, I decided to find other ways to spell my name that will raise not only my own energy but also that of the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>person<\/strong> who is writing my name.<\/p>\n<p>I call it Dr. Maria&#8217;s Phonetic System and I invite you to use it as abundantly as you wish.
