What's in a name?
MsMercury:
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.
Kelda:
welcome Dot - but I cant work it out either - we can be slow together Susie!
CellarDweller:
Hiya!
My real name is Charles, which I hate. Call me Chuck.
Kerry:
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
Katie77:
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.
