I've been addressed by many names bridging two professional careers, first in teaching, then in libraries. I was Miss Mxxxx, then attempted to be Mrs. Mxxx Exxx but two last names confused students at that time . . . way back. I opted for simplicity and became Ms. Mxxxx or Ms. Exxx, depending. When I moved to library work I could be just
Ann which is the way I like it. Then delightful father/son patrons starting calling me LibrariANN, with the proper respect from the parent viewpoint, easy for the child to remember, and clever to boot.
