Personal Experience:

• Growing up I was really good friends with a girl named Meghan and spelled that way too.  She never really mentioned anything about people spelling her name wrong, but I know it bothers certain people.  What do you think about this?  Do you get upset when people misspell your name?  Lisa is a pretty easy name and doesn't get misspelled often so I don't really have an opinion.
