I always hated my name. Mom said I actually kicked her in utero when she said,"if it's a boy, it will be Harry, and Harriet for a little girl".
She should've known then. I was stuck with the Harriet the ajax turned blue and Harriet the cow.
So, in college, when a friend started to call me "Rhett", I loved it. It stuck. Even my mother calls me Rhett now. Plus, it is a good pen name for a southern fiction author.
