My Name

The question I am asked most often? How do you pronounce your last name?

I was born on January 15th 19??. My given name is Sandra Kay Fisher.
I never had to pronounce it. Never had to spell it.

Along about 6th grade I thought it would be way cooler to be Sandy, so I started signing my school papers Sandy Fisher. (All of my family still calls me Sandra.) Still never had to pronounce it. Never had to spell it. (nice hair!)

Then I married my dear husband Bruce Gervais. (Nice shirt - What was I thinking????) Can you guess the year that we were married?

Gervais - pronounced Jer-vay. Yes the "s" is silent. It is French.

Now whenever I say my name it is followed by this lingo - Gervais - G as in George e, r, - V as in Victor a, i - S as in Sam.

And even still this is what I see on my mail.

Tervais

Gerbais

Gervaif

Grevias

Jervaif

Jerbais

Derbaif

Derbais

There are more but I do not want to bore you - but possibly you are already way past boredom.

When we make reservations at a restaurant we just use our first names - or Smith or Johnson - it is just easier.

Now you know.

From my heart,

Sandy Gervais G as in George - e, r - V as in Victor a, i - S as in Sam.
