Confusing?

Its a play on names, often a tongue twister and has caused many confusing moments for people...so I am here to explain this to any of you who have been confused by 2 of my beautiful daughters. 

Dayna is  pronounced Day-na, her maiden name was Wilkerson but she is married now... to a wonderful man named Jack, with a surname of ADY, hence her new found name of DAYNALEE ADY. Dana is pronounced Dah-na, but spelled without the "h" (that was just to help you sound out her name). Her maiden name was ASAY (yes, it sounds very close to ADY)...but she is married now to my wonderful son, Todd, and so she took on the surname of Wilkerson, hence her new found name of DANA KAY (yes, thats also my middle name and my dad's name, and Kimberly's middle name)WILKERSON. Are you confused at all yet? They both love to dance, were very active in their high school drill teams, they both have brown hair, love Todd, hate spiders, love to shop for shoes and purses and are 2 of my favorite people. Dayna moved from Duchesne to the Wasatch Front where she works 
for Clifford Motors and her husband is attending UVU and working for NuSkin. Dana moved from Roosevelt to Duchesne where she and Todd live. Todd is working for Express Title and Dana has her own dance company (24-7 Dance), where she teaches dance to about 40 children. She is also working for Western Land Realty as a receptionist. When Dana started the dance company, she made up flyers to advertise and had her name and phone number on the paper. Many people here in Duchesne wondered why "Dayna Wilkerson" went back to her maiden name and was living here in Duchesne and was teaching dance, when really it was "Dana Wilkerson" my beautiful daughter in law, who lives here and doesn't have a "Y" in her name and pronounces it differently. Everyone in Duchesne knew that Dayna loved to dance and was involved with it when she lived here and just assumed it was her, but were just as happy to find out that Dana loved to dance just as much as Dayna and was just as involved with dancing in Roosevelt, and they love her teaching their children. Its been fun to explain to everyone about our "confusing names"...and then I tell them...that the plot is even thicker, both Dayna and Todd's mother-in-laws have the same first name...Karen....see it just gets more confusing all the time. 
Regardless of how you pronounce their names, I love them both and I am so happy they are my daughters.

That is confusing! I can sympathize though because there is a Megan Marett and a Maegan Marett in Ben's family. That gets fun. Bens dad threatened to call us Bagen (Ben's Megan) and Jagen (JD's Maegan) I threatened to kill him. End of discussion. Hahaha, no just kidding.
