It had more to do with the fact that I noticed I don't pronounce Mabus at all similar to Albert Camus or Samus Aran.

Well aside from my last name which I have heard it all and spelled so badly.
My first name is a fairly common one and I have to correct too many people from pronouncing it like another name.

I had someone recently who apparently wasn't familiar with the way I spell my name and pronounced it as two words.
Long story short, The Resa is my Time Lady name now.

As Mab-Us, basically.
Ugh, English's overloading of written vowels causes so many problems. And we inherited the Germanic "ai-ei" problems that go all the way back to ancient Rome...
