As someone who's been published (professionally even) with my name spelled wrong, I sympathize.

But it started long ago -- I was one of the Copy Editors on the high school paper, and no matter how clearly we put my name correctly on the copy, and corrected the proofs, it still came out wrong, right after the title "Copy Editor", in the printed paper. Talk about embarrassing!

It's probably what I get for having a Gaelic name that breaks English spelling rules.
