Whats In a Name, I Have Two

What’s in a name? Well I have two!
Either one works just the same for me.
First one was born with, the other new
The second one was destined to be.

When I arrived on the scene for work
My boss introduced me all around.
I could not know what danger then lurked
From all the names that were to abound.

There was another one named Betty.
Oh, I could see trouble, come what may.
She was short and thin as spaghetti,
Please, oh please, you must call me “BJ.”

When phones ring, I’ll be at the ready 
For I will not be called “Big Betty.”
