What is YOUR name?

[555ann555]

What is your name? Leigh

Do you like it? No, damn you parents for changing your minds from Lisa after a local guy had a sex change and called himself Lisa

Would you recommend it? No, worse time was when i was in year 5 at school and the register was split between boys and girls, mine was the 2nd on the girls list as it went in birthday order and the teacher actually looked up (she was new) to see who i was and told me to my face that she thought there had been an error and i was meant to be on the boys list!

Did you have any nicknames? Fleigh, Leigh Leigh (which is now the name of choice to call me on my OH's side and his friends) and Rees (my mum's nickname for me which is also my username)


I don't like names that are unisex, made my life hell at school, especially when bullies decided to call me Manleigh - not very nice, gave me a complex about my voice for years (i was convinced that my voice was too deep for a girls as all the other girls had nice girly voices)

that's hillarious! Especially the transexual bit

 

[555ann555]

Whats your name?
Ann Grace

Do you like it?
I like in more now than I did growing up. I was always a bit embarrased or it becuase it is such an old name. I was nammed for my Grandma's two sisters who died at the turn of the centry (Thankfully I didn't get the 3rd whcih was Mabel!)

I always get asked if I want to be called Ann Grace or just Ann, but why would I introduce myself as Ann Grace if I didn't want to be called that?!

Would you recommend it?
I would prefer it the other way around: Grace Ann but I get told all the time that I've got a really pretty name so I'm getting fonder of it!


Did you have any nicknames?
Not from my name... I get Miss Muffet from my big brother, Bissim from my grandma (I've never actually written that so I don't know who it's spelled!) Melon-y from my guy pals (34FF boobies )

Alicia

Do you like it?
Yes

Would you recommend it?
Yes, though it will get mispronounced & spelled incorrectly nearly always unless the person is polite enough to ask about the spelling & even if they do ask about the spelling they'll very likely mispronounce it. Despite the mispronunciation & spelling I still love it.

Al (I'm a bit tomboyish so my best friend started calling me Al)

Otherwise I had no other nicknames, but toddlers who have trouble with their "L's" will typically say Aye-Eesha until they master the "L"
