It seems every­time I am asked to spell my name, peo­ple do not hear me well and it always ends up with a mis­spelling. I have taken to using the NATO pho­netic alpha­bet to spell my name now and amaz­ingly every­one understands…

Pho­net­ics for letters:

Alpha
Bravo
Char­lie
Delta
Echo
Fox­trot
Golf
Hotel
India
Juliet
Kilo
Lima
Mike
Novem­ber
Oscar
Papa
Que­bec
Romeo
Sierra
Tango
Uni­form
Vic­tor
Whiskey
Xray
Yan­kee
Zulu

Pho­net­ics for numbers:

Zero
One
Two
Tree
Fower
Fife
Six
Seven
Eight
Niner

This alpha­bet dates from about 1955 and is approved by the Inter­na­tional Civil Avi­a­tion Orga­ni­za­tion, the FAA and the Inter­na­tional Telecom­mu­ni­ca­tion Union.
