I really didn't think about it, Elizabeth. There's a Rattray Castle in Scotland, the Rattray tartan, the town of Rattray, so it wasn't until parents started to play around with my, that it occurred to me that one could.

So I go things like Mrs Mouse Plate, Rat on a Tray, and Rattie (a friend calls me that!)

Here in Australia people time and time again say, And how do you say your name?, and I say it, and almost always I get, Thanks Mrs Rattray...with the glottal stop!

Sometimes I'm tempted...:)
