Today, I picked up my new headshot proofs. Live and in COLOR! I must be one of the last people to finally get some color headshots but I done got them. My favorite part so far though is the name it was listed under… Nate Sltelkey. You prolly realize right now if you’re reading this that my name is not Nate Sltelkey. It’s nowhere near Nate Sltelkey. In fact, I’ve never heard of anyone with the last name Sltelkey.
Just to be sure I wasn’t about to malign some great clan of Sltelkey’s, I googled it and there are 2 entires that come up. Both to do with “steel”.
But my last name IS Shelkey. And it’s really not that hard to remember. It’s like a shell and a key. Not hard, right? Although many people mess it up. It’s normally Shelky. And sometimes Shekley. And more often than not Sharkey.
Once, someone sent me a fax addressed to Nate Chuckles. Which I thought was a particularly brilliant mistake of my name. If I start to do stand-up, which Porter and I are considering, maybe I will take the stage name Nate Chuckles. Or maybe I will just go with Sltelkey. And with any luck, they will misspell it Nate Shelkey.
