I am convinced my name is a tragedigh

Growing up, I have had my name mispronounced and misspelled to the point I automatically introduce myself by a nickname and say “no, it’s nothing short for anything.”

For background, my parents really liked the Smurf’s growing up. They also had religious upbringings so my siblings have normal, biblical names. Then there is me.

My name is Azreale (Az-ree-ale). I go by Azzy. I have only met one other person with the same name except hers was spelled Azriel. A vendor at the store I work at has a daughter named Azriel. But other than that, I have never met anyone else with my name and definitely not the same spelling.
