<v Speaker 5>I've gotten Arizona from a subject teacher.

0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Arizona, Arizona. I got time for I think one more.

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:19.440
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna take a break here. Hello, Shelley, you named

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:23.159
<v Speaker 1>your daughter a name that's normal, but you spelled it wrong.

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:24.679
<v Speaker 1>Kind of what happened.

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.400
<v Speaker 5>It's k y r y n.

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Karen. That's Karen tyrone Karen here. Okay, No, what does

0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:39.640
<v Speaker 1>she get called all the time?

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 5>Karen?

0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.320
<v Speaker 4>Karen?

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 5>And that was the point of the spelling was so

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 5>she didn't get called Karen because that's right when it

0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:56.080
<v Speaker 5>started to kind of come out Karen. Her grandmother was

0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.920
<v Speaker 5>passing and her name was Karen. I wanted to twist

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:03.040
<v Speaker 5>to it, but yeah, everybody thinks. They don't even look

0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 5>at her name, they just hear it and assume it's

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:08.039
<v Speaker 5>Karen being said into the Karen.

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Poor Karen's that's a sweet name. But they've got such

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.240
<v Speaker 1>a raw deal on that way. There are a bunch

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:20.560
<v Speaker 1>of these, so a lot of people go for a weird,

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:26.160
<v Speaker 1>interesting spelling, and it just becomes kind of a nightmare,

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:27.320
<v Speaker 1>so thanks for sharing those
