Question of the day: tues.Jan 11

Well, I have a double first name, Nancy Jane, I don't really care for the name Nancy, but there are already several Janes in my family. Sometimes I'm called NJ.

My name is okay I guess. My mom named me after Lana Turner's (her fave actress) daughter--Cheryl Ann. My dad always called me "Red" because of my hair, but that nickname died with him. I'm just Cheryl now

My first name is Mariya (pronounced like Maria), I think it's kinda boring, but I would never change it.
My nickname is Mimi, but only really close friends and family call me that. I guess what really annoys me is when people call me Mika, it's my grandmother's nickname and I was named after her, so a lot of my family who doesn't spend a lot of time with me will call me that, because they assume I go by that without really knowing.

My name is Pamela Sue. Most people call me Pam, although some of my friends will call me Pammy. One of the guys here at work has a tendency to call me Pammy. I don't know why....it doesn't bother me.

I always knew that I was in trouble when my mother would call me by my whole name "Pamela Sue!"

Meh, I don't really care honestly. It's not a name that can be shortened. No nicknames, though my mother tries to call me Amie? (sounds like hammy without the H) and I absolutely hate that. I've told her not to call me that for as long as I can remember because it's irritating.
Changing a name costs money and I really don't have any problem with my name. (I have a problem with wasting money, though )

Jacqueline...Only real issue is its one letter to long to show up on tests/driver lic. And oddly enough i ordered a few items off ebay from india and card could not go though as same issue one letter to long(well my entire name was)

i go by jack most of the time. Tho husband gets a kick of using my full name but middle initial I have yet to change my name and got married over a year ago...

I name is actually Carol Ann but I never used the Ann. All friends call me Carol but some older relatives called me Carol Ann. I would've liked to have an e at the end of my name Carole, it has more character.

Here is the weird thing tho, my sister and I spell our last names differently. Before she was married she spelled our family name with an e at the end of it whereas I did not. I think my Dad changed it at some point. At the cemetary where both are buried the name on the stone is as I spelled it but our relatives with the same name who are also buried there do have the e at the end of it.

nope, never liked my first name.

Like it (thanks mom and dad). It can be shortened and I go by the short version a lot as well.

I like my name. I don't meet very many people with my name. It's not short for anything, just Kara. I have a few nicknames that DH calls me, but they don't have anything to do with my real name. lol The only thing that irritates me about my name when it comes to other people is that my name is pronounced Care-uh and I HATE it when people call me Car-uh (which happens ALL the time, people rarely pronounce my name right, which seems odd to me. It's not a completely rare name.

My first name is Jordan. I have always found it annoying when people say "Dont see a lot of girls name Jordan." Actually yeah ya do... I went to school with 3 other Jordans, all girls. Its a unisex name! (sorry for the rant! LOL!)
Most people tend to call me Jordi, (although most mispell it! There is no E there is no Y!) although a few call me Jurrdy, dont even know how that started.... the same people also call Gary Gurry. And my dads family also calls me Jorjor a lot.

I dont think I would change my name. I have actually grown to like it.

Although my mom did want to name me Dillian...boy or girl... But luckily someone talked her out of that!

I loathe my first name and the middle one is even worse.....another example of parents eathing their children by naming one after a celebrityr.....blech. Never thought much of the celebrity either.

I hated my first name for years; every new school year, I was inevitably called Elizabeth, then had to explain that I was Libby. That always got a confused look, and I would be called Lizzie, Beth, Betty. My maternal grandmother never spelled it correctly---for some reason she always wrote Libbie.
When I got older, I was told the story of how my paternal grandfather asked if he could name the new baby (me) if it proved to be a girl My folks already had a name picked-Elizabeth Anne, family names from both sides. Grandpa wanted to name me after his mother-Mary Elizabeth. So, legally, my name is Mary Elizabeth Anne.
I now like my name, and am always surprised when I hear it being used for someone else. In fact, the little girl across the street from me is also a Libby, and it just amazes me!

I hated my name when I was little. Marianne isn't so bad. It does annoy me when people in my family spell my name wrong. I have only had one nickname. "Boo" when I was born my brother couldn't say baby. so he called me pretty Boo. I was called that most of my childhood.

I didnt like my name for a long time I use it more now but I still prefer to go by AJ

My name is Ashley jayne

I like my name well enough I guess. No nicknames. I like this spelling of the name. Gary has lots, but nothing to do with my name. As we work together, people frequently accidentally combine our names and pop out with a Larry or a Gory.

Good question, I really didn't when I was younger but I do now and now that I am married and my surname begins with "B" I love being "RuthyB" .x

I hated my birth name, which is why I had it legally changed some years ago.
Obviously I love my name now, I picked it!

I like my name. When I was around 11-12 I didn't, but I had odd mood swings at that age. My nickname is based on my first name. In our family, we drop the 1st or 2nd syllable (usually the 1st syllable), then the remainder gets tweeked, usually. In my sister's case, we dropped the 1st & 2nd syllable, then tweeked the 3rd (final) syllable, giving her a 1-syllable nickname. Other family members do not have nicknames. How all this happened, no one really knows

Oh, thank Heavens no.

Eh, maybe-- but after all these years, my name's just as much a part of me as my right hand. Might as well just stick with it

My name is Eileen, I have always liked my name. I've never really had any nicknames.

my names kathryn, i dont hate it. a lot of people call me kat lol which i dont mind at all but i HATTTTTTE when people call me kathy..im not sure why, i just dont like it at all.

My name is Frances, which I neither love nor hate, but find much too formal for me. I'm called Fran, for the most part, and I like it fine. A few people call me by other variations, and depending on how I feel about the person, I either love it, or take a strip off them.

I hate my name, I would change it if I could!

I like my name - Nancy. When I was a teen, I always wanted to be called "Nan". I thought Nan was a great shortened version of Nancy, and I thought it sounded cool and perky - my cousin had a friend named Nancy and she was a cheerleader, and everyone called her "Nan". No one called me that, though.

Now, though, what with the internet, I sign all my e-mails "Nan" and, over the past couple of years, people have started calling me that. I really like it!

My parents actually considered naming me "Belinda" when I was born, which was a combination of their nicknames - Bee and Lindy. I'm sort of glad they didn't, although it's a lovely name.

I like my name now although I didn't growing up... It's becoming a lot more common now which annoys me. I want to be the only Kailie! At least I have never known anyone who spells it the same way.

Most of my family and friends call me Kay but some family members call me KK. It's what my brothers called me growing up and it is now what my nephew calls me.

I like my name, Rebecca, and one of the shortened versions, Becca, but was called Becky most of my life. I hated going through life with a name like a 6 year old, especially if you have ever seen me, so as I got different jobs with people that did not know me, I trained people to call me Rebecca or Becca. I still am asked if people can call me Becky, which is always answered with the dirtiest look I can muster, and a hiss "NO." I usually have little or nothing to do with those people, because I feel they have no respect for me. I would never call them by a stupid name if I knew they did not like it

I used to not like my name. But as I got older, I started to appreciate it more. Not many people with it (I used to want a common name, like "Amanda" when I was a kid). My dad calls me "T" or "T-bone". Some people at work pronounce my name more exotically than it really is

My name is Lydia Nichole; I like it. My boyfriend and family call me by my first name, but a lot of my friends call me by my middle name and shorten that to "Nikki". As I've gotten older though, I'm starting to prefer my first name more.

My least favorite thing about my first name however, is that people ALWAYS seem to screw it up! Seriously, it isn't that difficult people. I HATE it when people call me "Linda" instead of Lydia - come on now, they're spelled entirely different! There is no "n" in Lydia That's happened since I was a little girl and will probably happen for the rest of my life haha. People also tend to spell my first name wrong a lot as well. They will write, "Linda" or "Lidia", instead of Lydia; it gets annoying, but I've learned to just politely correct people. Growing up, the only other "Lydia's" that I met were older ladies, so I always felt a little out of place with my first name. Nowdays though, I can't tell you how many little girls I've run into with my first name! I guess it's just one of those names goes in and out of popularity. Overall though, my first name has started to grow on me more and I prefer to go by that now rather than my nick name so much.

People never spell my middle name, Nichole, right eithor since my mom decided to get creative and spell it with an "h" when I was born. The only people that remember my middle name correctly are my niece and cousin (that's because their middle names were named after mine). Most people do not screw up my nick name, "Nikki" though. The most people might do there is spell it incorrectly.

I've never been too fond of my name, it's so boring and everyone with the same name who I've met have happened to be very annoying people.. My first name is Mari.
My first middle name is same as my mom's middle name, don't like that one either. Not going to write it here so I don't reveal everything.. I hate my second middle name, Ingeborg, I'd get rid of it but I don't want to upset my grandma who shares the same middle name. Because of that and my surname, I'm often mistaken as swedish.

And people have lots of problems writing it (first+last) correct. It's only 8 letters, it can't be that hard..!
