Janey

no, my name isn't anything to do with a month, but a good idea. I never thought of it! My parents chose it for its ease of speach (no L's or R's). My real name is Lai-Ping and my middle name is Maria.

snowy

OMG!!! JANEY!

Sorry, couldn't help myself. You've been missed.

Average_Joe

Well, I prefer to remain anonymous, so I will not give my name, but I will tell you 2 facts about it.

1. It's not Joe or anything associated with the name Joe.

2. I hated my name growing up, and still do. My first & last name both have 2 syllables. It sounds so short, and has no character. I gave all of my kids multi-syllable first names, except for one, but I address him with a 2-syllable nickname....all because I can't stand my name!

Marvelous Marv

Not Marv. Not even close.

I have a name that is now more common among females. My wife has a name that is more common to males.

Makes it easy to recognize junk mail and telemarketers when they get the genders wrong.

captobvious

Mine is not Captain, and it's not Obvious. It did lead to a lot of teasing as a kid, but then again I think kids can find a way to make fun of pretty much any name. I like my name, and all the ways other people still find to mess it up.

Willravel

It's Will, of course.

I am a modal verb. I basically mean the same thing as "shall", but I think Will sounds a lot better than Shall.

I am also a noun in that I am the faculty by which a person decides on or initiates action. It's a responsibility I take very seriously. My second noun meaning is that of a legal document containing instructions as to what should be done with one's money and property after death. Also a responsibility.

I am even the rare and envied transient verb meaning intend, desire or wish. Call it what you will.

Finally, I am a proper noun, meaning my first name is Will.

It's quite an adventure.

rhaevyn

My name is Alexandra Joelle. With home friends and family, I go by either Andi or Andra. My sister started calling me Alex when I was little, and I started going by that in general when I started college.

I'm glad my parents settled on Alexandra. My mom had wanted to name me Mary Frances or Rebecca.

highthief

It's one of those bilingual Quebec-type names. Keeps ya out of trouble regardless of the language you are speaking.



Actually, my mother bestowed on my grandmother the job of naming me. She chose "Dominic". My mother told her to try again! "Simon" was the more acceptable choice.

I'd say that qualifies as a Freudian slip

Mmm "Matthew". I love that name.

Infinite_Loser

My 'American' name is Brandon. I'm not very fond of it as I've always found it... Weird.

I prefer my original name of Ejike (But no one calls me that except my dad, my grandfather and a few of my overseas cousins).

Cool name, Infinite_Loser. How would one pronounce Ejike?

My full name is Henri James Abrahams. I am (I think) about the 5th or 6th Henri James on my dad's side of the family. It's tradition to name the first son Henri/y, or a variation thereof like Heinrich.

tenniels

My name is Tenniel, sorta obvious as my name on here is tenniels. My last name starts with an S, hence the tenniels thing. Not a very common name I guess, but I can't imagine being called anything else. When I was a kid, I wanted a cute name like Britney or Courtney or Keely or Haley, but I grew out of that. The Captain and Tenille jokes get old, but I just reply with you can call me Captain and leave it at that. At one point there were actually 3 Tenniel's in my Juniour High although they were all spelled differently. The other two girls were off an Indian reservation, so I'm not sure if that means it's a popular name with the natives or if it was just coincidental. They moved away, and since then, I'm the only Tenniel around.

My name is Jack. I was named after a long line of Jacks on my mum's side of the family. My granfather, great granfather and so on..I was also known as Jack James or John Jim, or J.J . Now it's just Jack..I also have my mum's side of the family last name..a common enough Irish name beginning with O'. I often wonder if my dad's name might have been something more exciting and exotic.

Strange Famous

my name is Adam Micah Douglas

I'm not so worried about stalkers!

ItWasMe

Although it's not my real name, most people just call me Tammy. Even my family. I tried going by my real name when I was younger, but eventually I stopped trying. People can't seem to pronounce it correctly (and no, it's not Tamra). A couple of my hubby's coworkers pronounced it correctly, but were later surprised to learn that I'm "a white girl." That was kind of amusing. I actually do like the name, and I think it looks pretty in my signature. But for practical reasons, I've resigned myself to "Tammy." I have no idea what it means, as I cannot find the exact name in any baby book.

My initials run sequential in the alphabet and my first name means bringer of light.

A shiny penny for the person who guesses the initials and the first name in the proper spelling.

ROFL. fun thread.

My parents had absolutely NO girls names picked out - they were both absolutely CERTAIN they would have a boy - so I was supposed to be Daniel David.

shock of the day - one baby, hold the penis and testicles!

So, the doctor that deliverd me said "You have a beautiful baby girl, what are you naming her?" and my father looked at her and said "um, i donno... What's YOUR name?"

So, Dr. Janice Herz had a baby named for her for the first time.

I'm Janice.

*grin*

Laugh-O-Matic

Ramya. It's Sanskrit for Beauty and elegance. it comes in a religious hymn, my Mum is a spiritual person, and she really liked it.

As for the pronunciation. NOT Ram as in Ram, the animal. But as in Rum, the hic. ya = yeah. So, my name sounds like Rum-yeah.

This is what my name looks like in the Devanagari script, just for kicks :



You won't believe the headache involved in getting others to say it right. There are at least 5 ways my name is misspelled/mispronounced.
