What's in a name?

Hopefully not much, as I currently go by the name Bejamin, in the US banking community.

And I didn't even realise! In fact, for 5 months, no-one realised. I regularly visited the bank, deposited checks etc., filled in forms, used my card in numerous stores.... but no-one noticed.

I think it must the mind playing tricks, as if you don't know what to look for, you just assume the N is present in Bejamin, even if it is not. Even online forms, where you are supposed to type in the correct name as it is on the card, have been working for me, despite me typing my name *incorrectly*  as Benjamin!

I have now changed it, but before it was changed I got issued a credit card with the same misspelling! Ah technology.

Speaking of names, Liz has a very interesting book on the meanings of names, and Benjamin James, has a very nice description, and I like to think a large part of it does describe me! So long as my full name, including last name is balanced. I think it is. I like my name. And I am hoping it will mean great things for me in the future!
