Paul Maguire: Hello. My name is Paul Maguire, not a very difficult name to pronounce. However, some people find my name surprisingly difficult to spell. The first name is Paul, conventionally spelled, P-A-U-L. And Maguire, M-A-lowercase G-U-I-R-E. But you should see my mail. I get a lot of M-C-G. A lot of M-A-C. A lot of M-A-Q. Just about any spelling that you can imagine of my name. One great day in 1996, the movie with Tom Cruise, Jerry Maguire, came out, and I said, finally, a big display of the proper spelling of my name. I call it the proper spelling because it's the way I'm used to.
