I'm named for an actress,
and I've been misspelled all my life.
Everyone ends me with a why
instead of I.
Fitting, yes?
More or less.

This made me smile. A lovely play on “y”/“why”. I love it!
I love clever play on words....
I'm curious... Which actress?
Fitting yes, because asking questions change us more than giving answers...
With me, they do the opposite.......and end me with an i........this made me smile, kiddo. Nice, on a sunday morning.
I like this poem about your name. I am glad mine can be spelled only one way. Smiles.
Cleverly written.
Oh this makes me smile!
I think this is about getting married --- the theatrics involved. Saying "yes," but with an unsure question mark at the end. The word "fitting" makes me think of wedding dresses.
You want to be "ended" with a capital I. Someone firm in their identity. Otherwise, how will the new you be bold and sure of who she is? Rebirth. Constantly becoming a new you. Hopefully next to the right person.
Very clever wordplay
Such brilliant play upon words here!!
