My sister called me the other day, laughing and saying, "Did you know that if you accidentally have your hands misplaced on the keyboard, your name comes out as "Truba"?"
I said, "Oh, yes! i've been doing that for years!" (typing my name incorrectly, that is) "Truba and I are great friends!"
I've also realized that my name is an anagram for: Train
I don't mis-type my name so that it comes out "train", but occassionally, some spell-checker will say "Did you mean to say "train"?" LOL
There are also some funny things about the pronunciation of my name:
Tree-na.
A long time ago, a new friend was trying to remember my name during our second meeting.
Our mutual friend (who had first introduced us) gave him a clue: "The first part of her name is like a very tall plant. The second part is the opposite of "yes"".
I thought it was a pretty good clue.
My (new) friend looked at me, and in all seriousness said, "Ferno?"
:) - that was my nickname for the entire next season.
