I don't know how it happened.
I'll never understand.
When I got married and changed my name
I was in wonderland!
My maiden name was ''Gasiewicz''.
Say that one ten times fast!
So when I became ''Nagy''
I thought...some peace at last!
It seems an easy name...
I'm simply ''Mary Nagy''.
But somehow through the years...
they've turned me into ''Maggie''.
I have to laugh about it.
It happens all the time.
I guess it is just natural
when two names seem to rhyme.
I get it in my daily life...
''Hello, How are you Maggie? ''
I just chuckle to myself
and say ''I'm Mary Nagy''.
I didn't think I'd get that
mistake here on the net.
But, yep, It's happening again...
''Hi, I'm Maggie. Have we met? ''
A good opportuniy to ask a question that's plagued me since I first read your work Do you use the west-european na-jee or the eastern naarzh? Dorsn''t matter - your work is no less praiseworthy. Tony
It wasn't until I saw you mention on Forum how your name 'sounded' that I knew your name was Naggy. I always thought it was Naygy. Mine is pronounced Ernesteen, but I often get called Ernestein. Anyway what's wrong with Maggie, I think it's a nice name. David Darbyshire now calls me Ernie, Oh well, who cares Eh! ! ! ! This is a good write Mary Maggie Nagy. these sort of things make one think! or perhaps consider a bit about these strange happenings.. Love Ernestine Adopted Mum (Mary) Northover.XXX

I would like to translate this poem
'Maggie' would make an awesome 'pen' name. As a poet, it could work to your advantage. You could be the Madonna/Cher/Usher of the poetry world. Think about it Mary!
