My Name on the Ballot!?

Wow!?
I just found out that my name is listed on the ballot as (drum roll - tada) -
"Pohjola, Lasse (Larry) Douglas"
Everything else just has "Larry" as my first name.
Just sayin...

Addendum - yes, that's my "legal" name. But I haven't used that since I started high-school when I was 12 years old. (Lots of luck with pronunciation.)

Some answers about me.
