Of course I am aware that my name isn’t the most easy to remember… Having a very french name has the advantage of sounding different and unusual, but at the same time can be a little… confusing! Although I have the movie “Amélie” to thank for, (one of my all times favorites.. not just for the title..!)since a lot of people would know about it and recognise the spelling..
To counter this problem I had the good idea to buy the domain name “emilygallery.com” as well as “ameliegallery”, which leads to the same website. Over my years living here and appearing once in a while in local papers and other media, I’ve had my name mispelled and twisted countless of times, and here are a few “variants”!:
real name:
Amélie Gagné
(pronouced like “family” without the “f” and “gang-ye”)
variants:
Ameile Ganga
Amelia
Amalie
Annalie
Emilia
Emmalie
And my favorite:
Emily Gaggle!
