To everyone with an odd name, trying to defy the odds of living a normal life with an "Odd" name; this is for you.

1. People think it is a fake name

No, I made it up. What? Yes, it is my real name!

2. Then when they realize it is your name, they ask what it is short for.

You never question yours, don't question mine.

3. The Classic, “I’ve never met another [insert your odd name here].”

Oh really?

4. People immediately make your name a nickname.

Mountain Dewey? No.

5. You are always dreading the first day of school when the teacher calls roll.

Forever correcting my teachers, it's fine.

6. And poor Starbucks. You’ll never have the correctly spelled name on your cup.

How many people can be Davey, Deveny, and DeWayne all in one week?

7. Always having to spell you name when ordering take out.

No, it’s D-E-W-E-Y.

8. Forget getting a souvenir with your name on it.

Thanks Mom and Dad.

Even after the years of correcting everyone, you never would wish to have another name. After all, you can truly say you are: "One of a kind".
