This is really hard to admit, but my real given name is almost like George Bush's. In fact, when his father was in office, I used to get many phone calls that were actually intended for the White House. Now I get e-mails that are intended for George Bush.
It's very funny at times, but my name has also been a hinderance when I've tried to sign up with Democratic groups as a volunteer. (They just don't take me seriously when I sign up as Georgina Bush.)
At any rate, people still support George Bush. I got e-mails about Fred Thompson that weren't intended for me. I guess *those people* intend to support Fred Thompson. They wanted their wives to have lunch with Laura too. (I know this because of my e-mails.)
I don't really want to change my name, but I live in Southern California and I'm an ardent Democrat. Having this Republican name has really hindered me since no Democrat (and you know most in power around here are Dems) ever calls me! I'd like to be a personal assistant for someone like Leonardo DiCaprio -- but do you imagine him hiring Georgina Bush? The Democrat Georgina Bush??!! The only people who ever call to hire me are Republican cheapskates!!!!! I'm really sick of it!! (And those freakin' Republican cheapskates also manage to try to lean on me regarding legislation too -- like I can really do something about it. Give me a break.)
