My full name is Miranda Leigh, which I don't really mind, but my mother saw fit to curse me with the nickname Randi. I don't mind Randi that much, either, but I've never seen something so simple confuse so many people. My checks have Randi on them, because I know if they had Miranda, I'd never remember to sign them with the right name. My driver's license, naturally, has Miranda on it. For some reason, this throws all the people who work at Wal-Mart and Winn-Dixie. I've actually had people ask me if the checks were my Daddy's, and I was just writing them, even though my driver's license number is on the check. I never quite understood how it was such a stretch for people to get "Randi" out of "Miranda."
