My real name is Hazel, although I am not, in fact, an 80 year old woman! Loads of people almost call me Heather, so I'm thinking that Heather may actually be my real name and my parents just missed getting it right, and also if I did change my name it would come easily to most people!
Had a phase of wanting to be called Lisa when I was little, though not has bad as my brother's week long phase of not answering to anything but Alison lol :)
