What's in a name?
« on: March 24, 2008, 12:27:32 pm »

There was a previous thread where we all shared the origin of our screen names.  Now I would like to ask for anyone who is willing to post their given (first) name, if they would like to be addressed by it.

I am terrible with names, and it would be so helpful to have them all in one place to refer to.

Mine is Susie.

Mine is Teri.  Anyone who has known me since I was a child calls me Teri Lynn because that is what my family always called me.

My name really is Kerry! :D

I have three older brothers, John, Robert & Alan, who are all close in age and I came along 10 years later, when my Mum was 39 and Dad was 42. An afterthought?  :(

During her pregnancy with me, Mum says she was sure I was going to be a girl, but she apparently thought all sons, 2 through 4, would be girls!  ::)  That's not the reason I was given a girl's name, though . Incase they had another son, they had already short-listed Stephen or David as names for me. When my brothers visited Mum in hospital, apparently there were major tantrums about my parent's choice of name, such as "But Muuuuum, you caaaaan't name him after Stinky Stephen Smith at school!" So, in desperation, my Mum turned to the woman in the bed next to her, who had also given birth to a son and asked, "What have you named your son?" She replied, "Kerry" and the rest is history.   :D

My full first name is Suzanne, but my mother only ever called me that when she was angry.

My dad and a few close friends call me Suzie.

But most of the time I just get plain ol Sue

The first three letters of my surname are Kat, and for some reason, which I now forget I derived Katie from that for my screen name.

My first name is Angela, it's Italian or so I am told. Just call me Angie, if you like, Anya is fine too.

My screen name is originated from the character Anya from the animated film from 20th Century Fox, Anastasia. They somehow came up with the idea that Anya would be somehow similar to Anastasia, when in fact Anya is diminutive for Anna LOL. Anyway, I combined that with Angie and that's how I got my SNs on most sites including this one.

Your initials are JBG?? Please tell us!

My real middle name is Lee. It's my mother's middle name too, extending from her Southern roots (Robert E Lee). I like middle names because you can hide a secret meaning there. I gave my daughter the middle name of Giuliana. It means gardener in Italian, and the women of the Middle Ages in Italy were called that, because they kept the knowlege of plants as medicine.

Hi Janice, my name is Cory.  Question to ask you.  Who is that in the painting you have at the bottom of your quotes?

Morning, Cory!! No. my real life name is not front, even though friend Ray used to call me Frontie. My folks just stopped at Lee...no they didn't, but they might as well have, since my father's last name got switched out by a husband or two. Better to make up your own name, so Front-Ranger I will stay, at least here in BetterMostland!!

Actually nevermind, saw that it was Heath in your photobucket page.  Funny, doesn't look a thing like him.

My  first name is Devony because my parents liked the name. Dad called me Devon. It can be hard for folks to remember or pronounce. Best way is Devin with an ie on the end. The rest of my family and friends call me Dev or Devony and sometimes Devi.
