Marilyn = Merlin...of course

During my visit to the hospital this week, I met a fantastic nice and "magical" nurse (woman). Since we talked a lot I notice her namebadge...Merlin.

- Is that your name?!! wow!!
- Yes
- Do you know how Merlin is? It's a famous wizard.
- Yes, my dad named me after HER
- But Merlin is a man....(did they mistake the spelling...hmm..Merlin...Märrlinn..Marilyn....hmm). That's a really cool name and I wonder if you do your "magic" here?
- (giggle)

This incident made me wonder, did her father think of Marilyn Monroe, but missed the spelling "just a tad" making his daughter the world's most famous male wizard instead. Hahaha.. I think it's hysterical. I'm imagining the Indian pronounciation....Märrlinn
