That's a silly name

A while ago I had a patient recovering from stroke. She was a sweet, tiny, very old nun.

The stroke had affected her memory significantly. I called her by the name in her chart - Sister Timothy.

Her response: that's a silly name!!

Me: well you chose it!!

Her: call me Susy.

Because that's not a silly name for someone who is almost 100.
