Stephanie Calmenson: Hello, my name is Stephanie Calmenson. That's a long name, right? 18 letters, six syllables. When I was younger, I didn't really like having such a long name, especially since I was a small kid. One year, I was the youngest and smallest kid, not only in my class, but in my whole grade. I still remember being lined up, tallest to smallest, and being the very last one with the longest name. Stephanie Calmenson. 18 letters, six syllables.

Now that I'm a writer, I can give my characters whatever names I like. In fact, it's time for me to go write a story and give someone a name. Hmm, how many syllables should it be?
