My name is Lauren (duh hehe) and I was named after the actress Lauren Becall cause my mom thought it was pretty or something i dunno...

And my middle name is Elizabeth...agian b/c my mom thought it was pretty and flowed nicely...

My name is Susan.

My middle name is Claire.

My name is Beth..... Not Elizabeth. Not Bethany. Just plain ole Beth. My mom said that she didn't want me to fill out all those bubbles on the scantrons. :)

My middle name is Ann, which everyone wants to put an "e" at the end of... I donno why, I think it's easier to spell without it.

Everyone in my family calls me Beth Ann, with the exception of two cousins->cuz they couldn't say the "TH" sound when they were kids... So they call me Bef (no, not beef!) even though they're 21 and 16 years old now! :rolleyes:

Pretty much all of my friends call me Beth. A couple of people think it's funny to call me Bethany (like Beth-Annie) and then I have those really close friends that call me Bef (because they know my cousins) :D But I don't mind... It's actually kinda fun.

Oh but why do I always get people calling me Becky? Not even CLOSE to my name! :rolleyes:

Marianne. And I've heard EVERY single Gilligan's Island joke that exists.

Sarah Elizabeth
Bet you can't find any more! LOL! One of my pledge sisters was also Sarah Elizabeth- and she had the same birthday as me except she was a year younger. LOL!

:eek: I forgot about those scantrons!! They had them on all the standardized tests I took growing up. My maiden name was mercifully short. Sometimes I miss it...

My married name is about a mile long. I will have to give my hypothetical future children really short names, otherwise by the time they're done bubbling in their names, the test will be over. :p (If, that is, they haven't replaced the scantrons with computer-delivered exams by then.)

I'm sure you do.... after all, everyone always asks me where you are :)

Lauren Elizabeth is one of the names of my future hypothetical daughters!! :D

The girl working at customer service in Sav-A-Center today was named Tequilla.

Yeah, I thought that was only a joke.

I know of another girl named Chevas (as in Chevas Regal)

I'm sure there's a kid or two out there named Boone's Farm or Thunderbird.

Bonita (i.e. "Beautiful" in Spanish)

Tracy -- not terribly exciting. My middle name is Noelle and I've always wanted that to be my first name.

you can go by your middle name. Its easy. Move to a new city. Meet people, tell them you go by Noelle.

nicknames

Billy Blaze
Flounder (only my brothers can call me this)

My name is Rachel. Hebrew name: Rahel. (imagine that! :D)

From 5th-8th grade I would only answer to "Rae," and some of my older friends and a few of my relatives still call me that.

When I first went to IU, it seemed like every third girl in my dorm was named Rachel. It was pretty funny, someone would call out "Rachel!" and ten girls would turn around. :)
