The Misspelled Name
Your name has one letter wrong on your birth certificate. A tired clerk in 1991. It's been copied onto your passport, your bank cards, your degree, your payslips. Everyone who knows you says it the other way, the way your parents meant it. Nobody has ever written it that way on anything official.
Which one is your name?
Then ask
- If you fixed the paperwork tomorrow, would that be a correction or a change?
- Whose version wins if your mum spells it one way and the state spells it another?
- Is a nickname only a few people use more yours than either?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
