Jeff Campbell: Hello. My name is Jeff Campbell. Hardly anyone ever mispronounces my name since my first name is one syllable and my last name is the name of a famous soup company. And no, I am no relation to the soup company. But when I was growing up, everyone always asked as if I might be secretly rich. However, people do misspell Jeff, or Jeffrey, which is my full first name. When I was young, Toys"R"Us featured commercials with a giraffe named Geoffrey. The giraffe's name was spelled with a G. G-E-O-F-F-R-E-Y. And I would always act very insulted if people asked if my name was also spelled with a G. Actually, I still pretend to be insulted. My name is Jeff Campbell and that's Jeff with a J.
