What's in a name?

Well here I am six hours after my first infusion of what seemed like several gallons of Epirubicin, and I feel OK. Tired, but OK.

And the experience was extremely civilised, pleasant even - largely thanks to Erica, the delightful oncology nurse whose devotion to duty was so great, she even ran out after me to the parking lot, in the rain, because I had left an important piece of paper behind. Thanks, my friend!

Mind you, my dear old (sadly late) Dad has a lot to answer for. Word on the street was he went to register my birth having had a few too many celebratory snifters and spelled my name wrong - Su "z" an as opposed to the more usual Su "s" an.

Anyway this has caused chaos and confusion ever since and now has thrown three hospital computer systems into utter disarray. Here's how it went:

**Hospital #1 computer system spits out my name as "Suzanne" (2 x n)
**I get surgery at hospital #2, surgeon is annoyed by misspelling, has it corrected to "Suzan" (1 x n)
**Hospital #3 greets me for chemo and asks me to verify my name as interpreted by their computer, "Suzannne" (3 x n)
**I scream with laughter, email surgeon later to tell him
**He replies by return saying 'well, they got it wrong to the "nth" degree'...

Now here are some name ideas to confuse computer systems big time, as defined by an unknown author some years ago:
