My mom LOVES that name now. I like it too. When a neighbors cat had kittens under my parents shed, my mom was gonna take them in to get spayed/neutered..the only one she managed to catch was a female and that's what she named her.
Its really pretty

My name is Linda Gail and I like it but I don't think it fits me.
I want my name to be less confusing. I'm Maria Ligaya. My parents wanted to call me Ligaya only (Filipino for Joy) but the priest refused to baptize me because it wasn't a Christian/Catholic name. Now when I travel to the West, I'm known as Maria because it is easier to remember by the locals. In the Orient - Ligaya is no problem.
Hope that if ever two of my friends meet and know me only by one of the names, will not think that I somehow lied to them about my identity.
Thank God there's Facebook!

Natalie is a good name...not too common and not too weird.
Ohhhhh I know where you guys are coming from.Originally Posted by calico2222
I feel your pain! Try working in customer service with a name like Hope. "Hi, my name is Hope. How can I help you?" "Well, I HOPE you can help me Hope. Your name gave me Hope".yeah well, I probably can't do a darn thing for you but what's your story. lol. I also answer to Faith, Charity, and Joy because people know it's ONE of them.
I get asked if my parents are alcoholics alot
One guy refuses to call me Brandy, he calls me Whiskey
Then all through elementary school I got bran muffins, bran flakes, etc etc.
Weird people!
When I was growing up I had a friend, Hope. She was adopted along with her sister, who was named Joy.Originally Posted by Momto3boys

Every Christmas we'd get a picture card saying "Here's Hope and Joy for the Holidays"
Quite the planning, huh?
I've loved reading about how and why everyone was named what they were. And, I suppose it makes me thankful to have a "normal" name (no Mary Christmas for me
).
As if anyone couldn't figure it out, my name is Alison Joy. I don't have a middle name - my name is actually Alison Joy. That confuses most people despite it being fairly cut and dry -- so, I usually just use Alison or a nickname (Ali, Ajay, Sonny). I also like my surname, but it is very common and there are quite a few others with my same name (minus the Joy). Overall, I like my name. I get many compliments on it and think it suits me well. And, I like the spelling of my name despite the constant misspellings of Allison or Alyson. But, it definitely could be worse.
I was originally supposed to be named Alyssa if I was a girl. But, my cousin was born a month before me and she was given the name Melissa. My mother thought the two names were too similar and so they went looking for another name. My grandmother was insistent on my being named Penelope. And, my father wanted to name me Anastasia. Let's just say I'm thankful that my mother was the one who filled out my birth certificate
.
So, even though my name is kind of common, I like it. I'd much prefer Alison Joy to Penelope Lee. And, for good reason...

That must be a "mom" thing. My mom used to yell out my entire name too when I was fixin' to get into trouble.
I can't say that I'm crazy about my name, but I don't hate it, either. I always wished my mom had named me Valerie (my sister's name), Stephanie or Laura, and more recently, Cassidy. I just love those names.
Oh man - I just busted out laughing when I read that!Originally Posted by Allison Joy
