Be happy that at least your name is *male*. Being named
"Calum" is ironically not actually a "calumny." :) But
I sympathize completely with your frustration re: people
who slaughter the spelling, pronunciation, or even gender.
At the end of the day, though, having an unusual name is
an asset in this crowded world, not a curse.
