never feel bad if you miss on the gender of one
of our clayart friends.
it is at best...difficult.
we thought dannon rhudy was two men.
dan and rudy.
and if you are a snail...well who the hell knows.
i think snails are bi/sexual.
we just call her elizabeth scott. then we know.
marta is hungarian, no really, she is, and she
has a new last name...may-tree. it is greek for
spring maples. well, not really, it is her father's name.
he was a doctor in buda, across the river from pesht.
he rode a horse and traded health care for food.
hard times in the last thirties and forties. she must
tell you the stories.
we thought joyce lee was chinese for six years.
and, we thought vince pitelka was czech.
what a funny thought. czech...do you think?
so, it is one of the lovely things about clayart.
no gender, no fat, no age, in fact, we are
all beautiful and above average. and our politics are
violet.

Names are funny.
I worked for a company years ago in the South, and I was told that for
shipping our freight call "Arnel's Trucking" . I was pulling my hair out
(back then I had hair) trying to find "Arnel's" in the phone book to
call. I'm looking out the window when this truck pulls around the
building with " R & L Trucking" on the side. I felt like such an idiot.
You prol'ly gotta be from the Southeast US to hear how we run words
together to get the humor -- R & L to RnL to Ar nel to Arnels Trucking.

If I went by my name on my birth certificate and told you I grew up in
Detroit, you might think I'd like Motown and Blues. But, I do like
Motown and Blues. ;^)

My father, stationed in Osaka in the US Army during the Korean
War, sent my Grandmother a request for names. On the sheet of paper
with boys names she made 3 columns. At the top of the First column
was Lee, At the top of the second column was Roy and at the top of the
third column was Roy. My dad just picked the names at the top of the
three columns: LeRoy Dennis.

Talk about gender issues...............
About 50 years ago, before co-ed dorms, I had been registered into the boy's dorm at college. Just before that I had several long discussions with the Draft Board trying to convince them that I was not a boy. They said my records indicated differently. The conversations became quite comical
before they finally agreed I didn't need to be drafted.
When I was doing genealogy work and requested a copy of my birth certificate recently I was surprised to see that I was a male child. Now I understood why my birth bracelet (the cute little beaded ones they used to have) was made of blue beads! I had to have the copy of the birth certificate signed by a notary confirming my gender before they would send a corrected version.
When I get phone calls for Mr. Noel Gilliam I either tell them he is not here or I reply, "This is she."
The startled look on the nurses face when she calls out for 'Noel' tells me she expected a guy. People on the phone are startled when they realize I am female.
I can list my name in the phone book and not worry that people will know that I am female.
Therefore when I sign my name Noel (Ms) I am not advertising that I am a single woman. Just that you are conversing with a lady!!
And, no, I was NOT born at Christmas...I was named after my father. My name is his name backwards!
'Noel' is a fun name and I wouldn't trade it for anything!!

It could be much worse. There's an actual case of two woman whose first
names were, respectfully, Ura and Ima. their last names were, again
respectfully, Belcher and Hogg. Ura Belcher and Ima Hogg. Then there's
the man whose invention deals with a basic human fucnction-he invented
the toilet and his last name was Crapper. Yes, indeedy, it could be
alot worse! LOL Simply Kathryn in NC

Aside from gender confusion, but in the same vein, I notice a lot of times
(...even in this day and age), that the last name has something to do with
the chosen profession. Just recently I noticed one potter whose last name
was Ware.
