When Lettie was born the doctor thought they were going to call her Bertha and registered her birth with that name. Instead, the parents decided to call her Lettie but never changed the birth registration. During the second world war she was applying for a job and needed a birth certificate. When she received it, she realized the mistake. Her mother and another individual signed a affidavit that Bertha was Lettie.[Cavender.FTW]
