Marilyn, Helen and Janet – Friends of Mine
I have a lovely neighbor who I’ve known for five years. Her name is Nancy. For some reason each time I think of her I think her name is “Marilyn.” She doesn’t look like a Marilyn and I have no idea why this thought comes to me.
Several years ago I met a very nice friend of my daughter’s and her name is also Nancy. I immediately started calling her “Helen.” She does look like a Helen, I think, but it is not the name her parents chose for her.
Last year a met a friend of a friend whose name is . . . you guessed it, Nancy. Guess what I thought her name was? “Janet,” I called her Janet in emails about our meeting. I still think of her as Janet. Since she is a Viet Nam vet I’m very glad that she is so pleasant and understanding.
Nancy
After much thought, I believe I have figured out what is wrong with me concerning this name. As I shared in a post on October 26th of last year, once I was Nancy.

Love this! Recall the Nancy in your blog as a little girl very well.

I thought I had commented on this earlier. I spoke with “Janet” said to tell you that she knows many fine Janet’s so it is ok to call her that name.

Let me try that again, I spoke with “Janet” and she said she knows many fine Janets so it is ok to call her that anytime.
I don’t know where all that garble came from.
