My name is officially Jenny, given to me by an official when I became a Canadian citizen,who looked at my Dutch name, I supposed he did not wish to make a fool of himself by trying to pronounce my Dutch name,
asked me what I was called in Canada, and I told him; Jenny.
Do you like it, he next asked me. Yes I do Sir.
Good I will make it official.
So my name is Jenny, short and snappy, just like the way I am

A friend of mine, was fed-up having to spell his last name. (Czechoslovakian)
He chose as his new name; Hamilton, pretty classy I thought
When he became an American I went with him to the swearing in ceremony.
Outside were ladies signing up the new Americans so they could be on the voting list.
Name? Hamilton. How do you spell that?
I piped up, it is spelled with the K from Apple.
He just had it official changed for a reason and your the first one to ask him how he spells it Grrrrrrrrrr

Just checked your proflle and see yes you really are a Indian Princess.

When I first came to Canada it was 1959, The only natives we had ever seen, was in the movies.
One day in this town I recognized a man as a native.
I wrote home to Holland that today I saw a real life Indian.
Boy that was something seeing one in real lilfe.
Today I live on Indian land and pay my taxes to them............This band is self governed............ownes a large part of this town................wave

She was Eskimo but told that this name was not longer to be used.
