Are you sure its Derval?
Did you say Gerbil?
Do you mean Dervla?
Is it Dervla on your birthcert but you prefer Derval?
Sure is Dervla not the same?
So to clarify my name is Derval. No I'm not named after a small rodent. No LA at the end. Nope I didn't change it and no Dervla is not the same name.
I used to get cranky about the whole Derval/Dervla thing but now I kinda find it funny. There are a lot of people who have known me for years and no matter how many times I tell them they still say "How are ya Dervla?"
That brings me to the point of my blog title. Any time I get called Dervla instead of getting cranky I just kinda sing the ting tings sing "Thats not my name"
So this blog is dedicated to all of you who get called the wrong name too!
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteHey Derval,
ReplyDeleteI'm currently living in Sydney and I get people saying my name wrong every day. Even when I'm in Ireland I get a lot of people saying it wrong, I guess I've gotten used to it now :-)
Best of luck for the rest of the season!
Take care,
Eoin
You should worry. I worked in an office in England for 8 years and got 88 different spellings of my surname: I've still got the list!
ReplyDeleteSorry derval. that was our flag with (not )your name on it. Rebecca did put a lot of work into it. My own surname is as gaeilge and has a "bh" in it so I hear all sorts. Sorry again.
ReplyDeleteConor!!!! Don't be so silly. The exception to the rule is that anyone who makes me a flag can call me whatever they want! Hope you guys made it home safe and sound.
ReplyDeleteOk, let it go, Gerbil was a mistake. I was under the influence. Lets push past this for the sake of the friendship.
ReplyDeleteShinks, you know it cut me deep. Email me the pictures from Brussels and I'll throw them up on the blog.
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming Doyler has changed your flights and you are gonna meet me in Zagreb as my traveling hair stylist/bff 4 eva!!!
