   I found this is really disturbing. 

  Utterly disturbing, actually.

   I was talking to my friend Lilian on the messenger, after some initial yada yada ya, rada rada ra, she asked me: " How's H?"

  My first reaction was a bit startled and confused: "H??"

  "You know.....your son." then she added: "It is too long to remember how to spell it."

  "His nam is HORATIO." Sorry, folks, but by this point I was pissed. I turned off the messenger, refused to talk to her.

  Horatio is 10 months old now. Ever since I knew his gender, I had announced to everybody he was going to be a boy and his name is going to be Horatio. I almost put a national wide television ad on prime time television for his name. On hundreds of email I send out after he was borned, with photos attached, all subtitle: HORATIO'S PHOTOS. And now, this yong little lady, who happened to be major in English at the University, telling me she STILL can't spell and read his name??

 And I am quite sad to say it, she's not the only one. 

 My aunty spell his name wrong all the time. Horatio became Haration. 

 Sounds like some thinkofmebob village name.

 How could spelling his name that difficult? HO- RA- TiO, you read as Ho-Ra-Shee-O, difficult? For good Christ's sake!! Even my mum and dad know how to spell it, and their English isn't exactly outstanding. 

 I am sorry, but this really disturb me, insulting even. My dear little presious son, apple in our eyes, his name is DIFFICULT to spell??

 Little fella in question crawling towards my feet, started dragging my trouses, want me to pick him up. I did. His angelic face beaming with delight, all smilling, because I am his mammy. His eye looks into mine without anything to hide, with only trust and love. 

 Ohmydear, I love you.

 And I hate people who can't read and spell your name.
