Jill S. Tietjen: Hello. My name is Jill Tietjen, but I was born and named by my parents Karen Jill. I always disliked that name. They named me Karen Jill because they thought that sounded better than Jill Karen, but always called me Jill. The first day of school was terrible because the teacher was always looking for Karen, and I was Jill. As soon as I got married, I changed my name and dropped the name Karen.
