Writer's Block: Repeat After Me...
[Error: unknown template qotd]
People most often mispronounce it "Rose-Marie" like it's two names, though it's "Rosemary", one name, no stress in the middle. The Chump at work also once called me "Anne-Marie", which was the moment I officially decided he was an idiot. (Honestly, I don't look at all like an Anne!)
I'll usually settle for just being called "Rose", since it's easier to remember. No one really calls me Mary (which is also the name of an aunt on my Dad's side) so it's either Rose or Rosemary for most people.
Most people get the first part of my last name right since it's so common, though they tend to spell the Gray part as Grey, which is incorrect. I suspect it has something to do with Jean Grey, thank-you-very-much Marvel!
