Starting with "S"

This morning, Valerie announced, "I want my name to start with an 'S' like my friend Stephanie. Why doesn't my name start with 'S'?"

Me: Are you sure you want your name to start with S?

Valerie: Yes.

Me: Do you want to change your name to Sarah or Sabrina or Samantha? Those names start with the letter "S".

Valerie: No, I want my name to be Valerie with an "S".

Me: Okay, should I call you Salerie from now on?

Valerie: No, my name is VALERIE!

Me: Great, I like the name Valerie, too. But Valerie starts with the letter "V".

Valerie: NOOOOO, I want my name to start with "S".

Me: Well, as soon as you can figure out how to accomplish that, let me know.
