My name is Richard

Ok. I have two problems with my name. First, no one can pronounce Randolph. Between the "r" sound and "f" sound at the end, they cannot say it. Why do they need to use Randolph? This is the second problem. "Randy" does not have good connotations in England, so no one uses the name there. Since Kenya uses the Queen's English, no one says the name Randy here either.

So, we settled for a good British alternative: Dr. Richard. Funny thing is, when the students are trying to get my attention, I cannot hear them because I do not know who Dr. Richard is.

I am sure my first son is getting a kick out of this.
