Todays radio question: 08/26/05

Tell us your first name and if you had been named something else, what would you have wanted it to be?

Sarah - I do love it, but I wouldn't have minded being called Natalia (Tally)

How about you, Susie?!

Ronda, no "h".

It's fine, but if you start singing "Help Me, Rhonda", I swear, I'm gonna start swinging.

Well, I've never minded Susie, but I guess if I had to pick another name, I like Jenny!

My name is Allie, which is short for Allison.

I don't particularly care for Allison (at all) and I'm on ok terms with Allie...I feel like I would happier going by my middle name which is Lia. I also like my sister's name (Emily) better than my own.

Eileen. I like it because I'm named after a family member. But, my parents always said if they'd had another daughter they would have called her Kathleen Mary (Katie for short) and I love that name for a little girl.

Allie - why not go for and refer to yourself as Lia from a certain point onward. It's easier to do if you're entering into something new, a new job or college where nobody knew you before; but it is possible to do and very liberating. The people who care about you will get used to it in now time.

Wanda was my given name, which I had legally changed to Arlyn, I now have a name that I like as well as one that suits me better.

My first name is Stefanie. Spelled with an F, on my birth certificate.

I changed it when I was 13, started using the PH instead (Stephanie) cuz EVERYONE kept getting it WRONG and I got SICK of saying USE THE F.

So I'm a ph now.

-- Stephanie --

Anyway I like my name a whole lot, either way ya spell it, it fits me.

Frances is my proper name, given for my mother's brother who died a year before I was born. I don't mind my name, and I would never think of changing it -- because of Frank and how special he was to my parents. I generally go by Fran, and I like that all right. There are lots of names I think I like better than mine, but none of them suits me particularly, so I've never coveted them.

My best friend in HS was Stefanie w/an F.

My name is Amanda, and I'd prefer something like...Starla, mainly because my signature could be a star with a 'la' after it and look pretty.

My first name is Marie
I'm not crazy about it but I don't dislike it enough to bother changing it.

Now that I mostly live around English-speaking people, I often get named Mary or Maria. My ex used to call me Murray just to bug me.

My middle name is Anne. I like it better than my first name.

I was thinking about doing that after I graduate and start a job. I also feel like the name Lia is prettier, more grown up and more femmie than Allie is...which would suit a pro-performer more than Allie (which, you know, I'm mostly good with) and I HATE going by Allison. Maybe Ian and my Dad will never get over me being their Allie (Or, as Ian calls me "affectionately", Aloe), but then, it might be a special name reserved for those two

Carol and I have always liked it fine. When I was little I wanted the name Lisa though.

My given name is Samantha-Ann, most people just call me Sam though.

Kate I would rather be named something unique than such a common name.

Stephanie. Probably Elizabeth. I've always loved that beautiful name! That's why Sierra's name is Sierra Elizabeth.

My name is Joanne. I'm okay with it, but I hate that it's often misspelled, or people mishear it when I'm introduced. Many people call me Jo, which is reserved for people who know me well (family, friends, some co-workers I'm close to, etc). I used to want to be a Caitlyn when I was about 12 but I'll just stick with what I've got.
