What's In A Name?

OK, I am used to people occasionally confusing my surname and calling me Mrs Arnold. In school, I am sometimes Mrs Armour. I usually say "It's ALMOND like the nut" [and people somehow seem to remember after that!]

In bright seraphic moments, I have seen my Christian name on printed lists as Angel - and I quite like that.

But my pre-ordered ticket for next week's Christian resources exhibition has just arrived. I have never been called this before

but NAGEL??????

I checked this out - maybe the good people in the ticket department think I was named after the Nagel municipality in the district of Wunsiedel in Bavaria in Germany

Or perhaps after Thomas Nagel the philosopher who developed the theory of Moral Luck [left]

Or maybe [mis-spelt] after Franz Nagele [ the German Obstetrician who devised the way of calculating the date of a baby's birth

 

Or after Nagel the opthalmologist who devised an anomaloscope for testing colour-blindness.

Or perhaps the ticket-issuer was thinking about breakfast and mis-typed bagel?

 

For the record, my name is ANGELA - given to me by my parents when I was born on Easter Sunday morning [many, many years ago!] in the prayer that I would grow up to share their faith, and be a messenger of the Good News of the Resurrection!

Now all I have to do is work out the neatest way of amending the ticket...
