When my daughter announced that she had requested that the emcee
announce her name as “Hedy Slott” at her culminating show of her school’s
fashion design major, she seemed ready for me to blow a gasket. Instead, to her
surprise, I was and am fine with it. I believe that what made it a non-issue
for me is the very fact that she’s been an unambigous Erez-Slott for 18 years,
so to me it felt like a genuine choice on her part. In fact, I’m pleased that
she was brave enough to make this move, knowing how strongly I feel about names
and their implications. What better proof that she thinks for herself and doesn’t
simply go along with others’ expectations? Hedy Slott, welcome to the planet!
