Return of VL, That's not my name #5million, and Screaming kids.

I think Shanna is unusual, but 'simple' enough (no offence) to be easily remembered. I don't think I'd have a problem with calling a colleague Shanna. Especially after a few years.

I had fun once trying to tell my grandfather what my Dutch friend Joreal's name was (J like Y). I think we ended up with Julia and Joreal and I looked at each other shrugged that 'close enough' shrug.

My name is Jessica, I go by Jess. It drives me batty when people call me Jessie. Although people always seem to want to do that. I have threatoned to maim people for calling me Jessie.

The BF's mother gave me a birthday card early the other day. On that card she wrote Jessie. I almost lost it. Known her many many years. Next time I see her I am going to inform her that if she keeps calling me Jessie I will call her Tina. (her name is Christine and she goes by Chris.)

We have an on-going joke in there. I am the pig, the heffer, or the cow, due to my rapid metabolism's need for food.

You may be a female version of me. I have a very similar issue. I eat as much as a friend of mine but he weighs about 2 times as much as I do.

I hate people like you.

[unholypet]

I hate people like you.

*pat pat* I sorry ;_; If it makes you feel any better, I'm 5'4'' with 145lbs of muscle

[RetailWorkhorse]

I hate people who call me Mikey...

Hey Micky, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mine, Hey Micky!

*Runs for cover*

My name is Richard.

*Blinks*

SARLON WE FOUND RICHARD!!! <3

[Soria]

The chick with the cinnabread thing? Pyscho.

And now, back to non topic fun!
I always felt bad for Richard Cox... *sigh* He either came up with that name or his parents were mean bastards.


Me? I'm Shanon, one n, and it confuses the heck out of some people. They either spell it wrong, or call me Sharon. >_< For a year the government called me Sharon. Yessh.

When folks ask me why, I tell them my, very, Scottish father did not want his daughter named after a river in Ireland. Usually works untill the find out my mother's Maiden was Sullivan and her mother's was Falligan.

[BroSCFischer]

My name is fairly unusual, and often is mispronounced (which annoys me to no end). Thus, I go out of my way to ensure that I CORRECTLY pronounce other people's names.

Funny story:

When I was in the PaANG, we were getting ready to deploy, and my unit would say that they were going to give me an M-16 andf launch me (via giant slingshot) at the enemy. They called it a (my name) jihad, because my name just so happens to rhyme with that word.

Also, as for nick names, be careful! My sister used to like to be called by a shortened version of her name, and would tell others to calle her that. She now wishes to be addressed by her full first name, and her in-laws are having problems getting used to it.

Uh oh..should I be scared?

[Chromatix]

There's a well known novel series where two of the main characters' real names are Ruth and Margaret. Needless to say, they both hate these names so deeply that they never use them - except when forced to by their great-aunt. Their given names are therefore Nancy and Peggy.

Not really, you're a bit more than half my weight and only 6" shorter than me, on the other hand I could just pick you up with one arm, throw you over my shoulder and walk off.

[BookstoreEscapee]

I'm now really curious as to what Unholypets name is and why it's so hard for people to get right.

My name is somewhat unusual, and also not difficult to pronounce, but no one gets it right either. At least I get a fairly consistent collection of mispronunciations. The sheer variety of wrong names in those calls is just mind-boggling.

[Kyree]

If you go with Jasmine, I'm sure someone would be tempted to team up.

"DOUBLE BATTLE! Chose your Pokemon!

Jasmine! Shafanza! I CHOOSE YOU!

Jasmine uses Leaf Blade~
Shafanza uses Psychic~"

...I had way too much fun there.

I think you did. How come I get leaf blade and you get psychic powers?

[BookstoreEscapee]

I was watching Sunday Morning this morning and they had some guy on whose name was Harry Balzer.

Yeah.

[Bliss]

Let's see, my name as you might remember is Lars, which is a very common name in scandinavia and other places... but I'm South American.... (don't ask, it was my parent's fancy).... Anyhow people here can't comprehend such a name can even exist, when I tell them my name they look at me dumbfounded trying to picture if I'm joking or not, and what language I'm speaking,....

So I normally get called Blas, blarg, grag, larg, narts and flash... the favorite though was the mother of an associate of my dad, that despite any attempts to correct it, and for years and years insisted in calling me Laser......

>.<

Kill me please.
Btw my last name is worse yet, much much worse, but you have enough to stalk me by now, I won't make it easy. In here only Jester and Mysty know my last name
