    Used to work with an awesome chick named Velma. Boss pronounced it Thelma for three years. She finally started calling him Craig instead of Greg. Dude quit a year later after everyone else picked it up.

      He should have started calling her Lauren I didn’t see as fragile ego as his.

        He spelled it that way too. Unless being an asshole causes a speech impediment I don’t think that was the case .
