What about people call me Kimber as well.:)

I like this thread. I knew a lot of names of here, but it's nice to see some of the ones that I didn't know. Um, like where the brothers...don't be scurred.:)

That's so funny!

I use the name Kimber at work and when I speak to customers they ask me if that is my real name and then I have to explain that we have more than one Kimberly.

I have also spoken to customer who have had the name Kimber as their real birth name.

Re: My name is....
 

I love the name NIA, that is my sisters name.

Audrey!!!

When I was younger I always used KimL because there was always another Kim. I have never been the only one. Now I just use KL, and people actually all me that as well.

Wow, I can't believe that someones real name is Kimber...that's different. My only difference is my name is Kimberley. My mom got some bright idea that she wanted to give me the "British" spelling, and then she gets angry when no one spells it correct.

My boyfriend thinks my daughter will have the same problem
because I spelled her name Kendell instead of Kendall.

My name is...
 

Tori

Not Victoria or Latoria or Toni.

My name is Nelta

My cousin Kim spells hers the same way, and I spent half our childhood teasing her by calling her Kimber-laaaaaaay, lol.

oh, right, my name
 

Terri

How many times have you heard that you were "Nelta the Delta"?

Lots of people call me "Erika" Badu because my hair is natural and I wear headwraps sometime. I am always like :rolleyes:, "You are so original!"

...and if you were from my area, people would call you Errrrrrrrrrrika. :p

You beat me to the punch! I was going to ask her the same thing LOL!

Ditto! Right down to Timmie. (And I am glad you spell Kimberly correctly!:D Just teasin' Soror KimL) Oh, and I relate to the Kim L thing, I was NEVER the only Kim so I was Kim R. My best friend attracts Kims apparently and has four good friends named Kim.

my middle name is spelled kym. and it isn't short for kimberly...it's just melody kym.

the name is kimberly..

in school i was alway called kimbo or kim hill ... like one word kimhill

now eveyone calls me kimmeee ( i love the way my lil sister drags the eeeee's)

LOL
 

My first name is, Deirdre, it is pronounced Dear-dra and it means "sorrowful." I asked my mom why she chose my name, she said, "I just threw a name book up in the air, it landed on the page with that name on it, it sounded cute, so, I gave it to you." As you can see, my name is NOT spelled how it sounds. So, you can only imagine the many different names that I have been given. But, I love my name, because it is UNIQUE :D

Re: LOL
 

I have a cousin whose name is pronounced the same way....but I think she doesn't have the first "R" in her name.....
Dang I miss my NY family! :(

GIRL.....LOLOLOLOL!! If I had a nickel for every time, my house and car would be paid off by now LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!

I've gotten used to it though!!!

Soror you ain't right. :D Actually over the years I have gotten use to the extra E in my name, but I must admit it does start to wear on a sista when it is constantly spelled wrong because people aren't paying attn.

I met a Kim some years ago, and her name was spelled
Kimberleigh. I was like that is just to much.

Haven't posted in a while,
 

but my name is...

Camryn (I ain't scurred either!!):D

As a bored child stuck inthe house one day I came up with 13 different varioations on the spelling of Kimberly, including the leigh one. We actually have a neighborhood street here that is Kimberleigh.

My name is Delphanie (del-fu-ne)...y'all can call me Del.

Shelby, I love your name!

NoworNever,
My neice's middle name is similar to yours. It is Chaiya - it means "life" in Hebrew.
I like your name. :)

SC

See Epitome, your post is informative b/c I've always wanted to name my daughter (whenever I have one :D ) Laila but wondered how it would be pronounced. I actually prefer the "Leilah" spelling but that would be *totally* mispronounced.

Love your name!
SC

Re: Re: Hello, my name is....
 

It's also the name of a famous African queen I believe. :)

SC

Re: LOL
 

Hi Deirdre, I totally understand your pain. My name is also always mispelled and mispronounced.

SC

My name is TRACY. Not Tracey. Everyone automatically throws that "e" in there.

Re: Re: LOL
 

Well, what is it?!!?!?

Re: Re: Re: LOL
 

Oh, my fault CT4. :D

I'm Deidra, pronounced Dee i (short i) druh on formal occasions but my nickname (yes, nickname) is the Dee druh pronounciation. I'm only partially being funny here. :D

Re: Re: Re: Re: LOL
 

I wasn't yelling but I was like dag nabbit what is her durn name. I thought maybe it Lolaquisha or something.

Long I = eye or It. . .can't remember, Lord and all my reading teacher forgive me. :o

Christen

Hi CT4,
I know that you weren't screaming. I laughed when I read your email. It's not pronounced with a long i sound in the middle. It's the way that you would think that it was pronounced. I was trying to indicate that the i was a short i sound that's why I wrote "i (short i)". :)

Have a good one,
SC

how wonderful to put goverment names to GC names :)
My name is Adaora pronounced Adora, but you have to spell it with the second "a". It's Nigerian for First Born;)

I really like that name.

My name is Krystal. :D

da hayle? your name ain't carolyne?!?!? That is false advertising.:p

Yeah! I'm surprised you got that. Only Jewish people have been able to pronounce my name correctly and say, "that means life, right." Chaiya, Chava, Chaya and all similar spellings mean "life" in hebrew. I've been thinking of chopping off the "La" in my name and just going by Chaya. Your neice must be a very special girl. :p
