My birth given name is Silvia, most who have spelled it spell it with a "y", which irritates the hell out of me, so I have long ago taken Silvita and Bita and Barla, not liking Silvia or mom unless I have to. I was named after a distant grandmother somewhere along the tattered generation of my family. Some senile person that I probably like as a memory more than some of my currently living relatives. My mother spells it with a "y". I don't know that I can comment any further without spewing curse words about the matter. If you read my blog you will soon see why this is important.
