Is This Your Name?

If you or anyone you know well has any of the following names and would like to take part in a very short interview please kindly send me an email at michele at this domain dot com.

Audrey, Agnes, Anita, Allen, Alicia, Andrew, Allison, Betsy, Beulah, Bob, Connie, Carla, Cleo, Carol, Camille, Celia, Carmen, Cesar, Charley, Diane, Donna, Dora, David, Diana, Edna, Eloise, Elena, Flora, Fifi, Frederic, Fran, Floyd, Fabian, Frances, Gracie, Gloria, Gilbert, Georges, Hazel, Hattie, Hilda, Hugo, Hortense, Ione, Inez, Iris, Isidore, Isabel, Ivan, Janet, Joan, Juan, Jeanne, Klaus, Keith, Luis, Lenny, Lili, Marilyn, Mitch, Michelle, Opal, Roxanne

I’ll explain at a later date. I promise. Ideally, I would like to find one person per name. If you can help me make that happen, I won’t let you down.

Edited to Add: If you wrote me below or via email, and haven’t received a follow-up message yet, please let me know. Basically, I need the contact information of the names listed (phone number or email). I am going to conduct a brief interview with them. Hopefully, they are still interested.

Assuming I get every name folks gave, I only need 18 more people! Thank you everyone. I’ll update more on Monday after I receive more contact information.

  1. You don’t want Anessa? You should totally have Anessa…I’m just sayin’…for those people with that name and all. I can’t wait to see what it’s for!

  4. Yet again, the Internet is proving to be helpful. Thanks for that. I have received several emails that include names of people. I really, really want to get them all if possible. So please, pretend I haven’t ever asked for anything before and help me seek them out. If you know of anyone, let me know. :] I’m begging—Internet style.

  21. Unfortunately, as much as I wish it did, for this project, I don’t think it will. My name is Michele with one L. And as much as I wish I could take part i don’t think I can. Given the sensitivity of the material, I think it has to be spot-on. However, please email me anyway as I’d like to include you in on the story behind why I am asking and why the spelling of your name might not won’t work for this.
    You folks are the best.
