My name's Carrie. When I was little, there were like 5 of us, and of course NO ONE spelled it the same way. (There are just waaay to many spellings of this name!)
But as I've gotten older I don't run it to it as much.
My mom calls me Lucy sometimes, because of a nursery rhyme I used to sing (& mess up). That's the only nickname I've ever had, and she's the only one that's ever called me that.
For all of you Amy's- one of my best friends (high school & college) is an Amy. Her nickname? Bad Dog. I've called her that almost since we met (long story). She's a year younger than me, and went to a different college. But then she transferred after her freshman year to the same school I went to for the music program. And she was like "I'd really like to go by Amy" because all of her hs friends called her Bad Dog, and when she went to her 1st college she finally got everyone to call her Amy (because they didn't know BadDog). I tried, but for one thing, my friends had already heard all of these stories about Bad Dog. Plus it was hard. I tried, but wasn't too successful. Sometimes I remembered, but most of the time it was Bad Dog. So there are worse things than Amy.
