My maiden name is Wall. I was named after Debbie Reynolds in a movies called Tammy. I spelled my name Tammy until I entered high school. Then I changed it to Tami. I practiced all summer so I could spell it right. Since it was a nickname, I could spell it anyway I want to. Most people spell Tamra - Tamera or Tamara. I had a hard time with that. Everyone spelled it wrong. My middle name is the name of my Grandpa. - Lee Burbidge. He was killed in an accident when my mom was very young. I can't wait to meet the man I am named after. I am very honored to be named after him. My full maiden name is Tamra Lee Wall.
In high school, there was a girl named Tammy Watts Our names were very similar. One day in school, I was called to see the registrar. They were concerned that I hadn't passed some key test to graduate. I knew that I passed those tests. I looked up my name on a chart and the told the registrar that I pass the test. Apparently they had me mixed up with Tammy Watts. Another teacher mixed us up too. She wrote in my yearbook "Watt a girl. She thought I was Tammy Watts. One day I joined a musical group. It was an orchestra with many different schools. There was a girl there that played the violin. Her name was Tammy Wall too. That is so weird. I married Jim and took his last na e. I love that man.
