I’ve basically decided to drop my middle “C” from my name. I’m not entirely sure why I started using it some 5-7 years ago. I think it was because I was young, inexperienced and wanted a way to sound older and more distinguished. Kind of like a virtual moustache. It didn’t really bother me until recently, as I rarely heard it used. I mean, I never introduce myself as “Jeremy C. Wright”. I’m just “Jeremy” most of the time, “Jeremy Wright” if I feel like being really pompous.

The C first bothered me when I started doing speaking again early this year. It was what I’d said my name was. So it was how people introduced me, including when speaking or panelling. I always cringe.

It reached a new level of annoyance when I saw the cover for my upcoming book on blogging, for business folk. It looked completely out of place, amateur and useless.

So, I’ve decided to drop it. It may take me a while to iron it out of all of my correspondence, and it might take even longer to change the habit of typing it in for comments on various blogs. But, I am dropping it.

Finally ;-)
