“I├óΓé¼Γäóve always thought of it as an old woman├óΓé¼Γäós name, so I demanded that everyone call me Blair. In high school, when people found out my name was Selma, they├óΓé¼Γäód call me things like Smell-ma or Salmonella. That stuff basically came from friends, and I never really had any enemies, so I just kind of smiled through it. I still don├óΓé¼Γäót like my name. It does not fall prettily off the tongue. In fact, it├óΓé¼Γäós hideous. My middle name is James, and I like to be called that.”
