suttie Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 I know it could have been a lot worse. Guess i was lucky when you think of some horses names. The horses name was spelt Elyn,or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanAm Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Jillianne or Gillian, or Jill, whatever, its crap either way I beg to differ, Jillianne! I think you have a beautiful name. My daughter's name is somewhat similar. It's Gillian. All her friends call her Julie, Julian or they pronounce it as if it starts with a hard g. It drives us nuts.

Miss Vicky Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 I'm sure this will come as a real shocker, but my name is Victoria. And no, I don't have a secret. (Oh, and please, it's Victoria - not Vicky. I know my username is Miss Vicky, but it's an inside joke with a friend of mine - and has nothing to do with potato chips before anyone asks.) I get compliments on my name from customers all the time at work - "Oh your name is so beautiful and regal!" Yeah... so beautiful that people always forget it and call me "Veronica" or "Virginia" I've even been called "Violet" and "Vivian." I also had a manager who for some reason seemed to want to completely change my name and kept calling me "Rebecca." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 My name changes very often... actually, it´s always the same but I have two citizenships and I live in a foreign country, which makes three different ways to call me. In Spain they would also add your mother´s family name, so that makes four. And there is also a "H" in my name wether it´s spanish or french, so that makes a long list of combinations. I can tell who is writing to me: immigration, telephone company, bank, friends, family, work, etc. just by reading my full name on the enveloppe.

Shawna Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Do you think Chris is as girlie a name as Sammy? As I told you, my name is Ken. And, yes, some call me Kenny....and there's nothing girlie about it. I always knew you were cool, Sammy. Your real name is my kid's name, too. And damn staight, there's nothing girlie about it. I've been called Sha-na-na, Shawnee, Shannon, Sharona, Sharon, Sheila... but by far my favorite was the lady calling the shop asking for "Sha-Wanda." I said, "Uh, nobody here by that name."
