I HATE when people call me Susan......my name is SUZANNE!!!!!!

But I might be slightly off topic....

 

[bloodbinds]

Depends how i introduce myself! If i say Pip everyone says 'huh?' and if i say 'philippa' then people call me jennifer. It is annoying.

My baby is going to be called Isabella, and there is no way people who mis-hear that... right?!

My last job I was known as Lea by half of the kitchen staff...

Dizzy I'm a Lindsay as well and nobody gets it - Linda, Lisa, Lucy, Lesley.... and nobody spells it right either (including you !!!)

This is part of the reason Harry is a Harry but I wanted him to be Bailey as well - it's a gorgeous name for boys OR girls - and it really suits your LO Sam. xxx
