Eileen Cook: Hello, my name is Eileen Cook. I should start by telling you that I absolutely hated my name growing up because I thought it had too many vowels in it. I was always being called Elaine or Ellen or some other variation of that, and I never saw my name on those things that had your name on them, like key rings and all those things, so I hated it.

I eventually grew to love it. If you want to know how to pronounce it, all you have to remember is I lean on Eileen for a good story.
