[NinjaPoodle]

I have to admit, I'm a traditionalist when it comes to names. However, I prefer names that are not common. [see the lists that I posted previously]

I have a unique name also. Franchon. pronounced FRAN-shawn. The trauma I endured from 1st grade through jr. high(not in HS cause most of the people there knew me from JR. High) from fellow students teasing me about my name was enough for me to chop it down to just Fran. Most people think it's Francis, which is ok with me because then I don't have to tell the whole story about my name.

I forgot to add, the good thing about my name is I use my full name in formal situations and my friends can just call me Fran.

I think with names, I 've always felt that a name should be suitable for not only a cute 2 year old, but a matured 80 year old woman. As far as my boss throwing out the resume, she should not have done that but she owned the company, so what can you do?
