Ah, yes, polling places and my name. One of the reasons I pretty much vote exclusively by mail now that I don't need to come up with a "valid reason" for voting absentee anymore.
My name is originally German, has a vowel nicely in the middle of each syllable, and is eminently pronounceable. Problem seems to be that it's 12 letters long. People read the first few letters and then panic. So ridiculous.
Ah well. When I moved over here (and I was actually born here) in 1993 all I did was drop the dots on one of the "o"s in my name. People will argue with me and say I should have replaced it with an oe. I tell them that is not the way my name is spelled. When I write it by hand, I spell it correctly. *sigh*
Heh. I have a purely Mercin name and people confuse it all the time. Faye-Marie... It isn't that hard really! I would thing Chang or Jin or whatever is certainly no worse.
