Dear Ann Landers,
Am I crazy? I am going with a wonder-ful fellow who has an odd last name. Most people, when they see the name in print, pronounce it incorrectly, and it comes out like a dirty four-letter word. Would I be way out of line to ask my boyfriend to change the spelling of his name so people would not become so embarrassed? I've seen folks stammer and get red in the face, afraid to even try it.-A Blusher

Dear Blusher,
Has the boy asked you to marry him? Have you said Yes? If so, I see nothing wrong in asking him to change the spelling of his name because it will be your name, too. If you don't plan to marry him, honey, keep quiet. The problem is a temporary one.
