Wendi ----and that's with an i. I don't get hung up on the spelling with people that don't know me--but it bothers me when people I know misspell my name.

THAT'S A LONG STORY!!!

Hi to everybody once again!!!

Here in greece we have a custom.the child must be named after its grandparents.So my first name is Erasmia after my grandmother.But this is not a name to celebrate.So my mother also gave me the name Artemis.But they thought they needed another name just to call me.And they picked Ismini.

I finally decided to keep ISMINI

That's how I'm named!..well sort of...

My first name is Marcella, after my great-grandmother on my fathers side.
My middle name is Aurelia, after my grandmother on my mother's side
My grandmother picked Catherine as my confirmation name

After that, I HAD to learn to write it ALL out!
I was the only kid in my class writing out FIVE NAMES....Marcella Aurelia Catherine....PLUS I have TWO last names, I have my father's AND my mothers!!

Its what most Mexican's do, at least in my family

Tonya... As in Tawn-ya not Tan-ya.
Middle name is Nichol (as in Nicole). For 20 some odd years I had been spelling it Nicole. But when I lost my SS card at school and went to go get a new one I spelled it that way and the guy asked me if I was sure I was spelling it right. I said yeah and he told me wrong answer. Its spelled Nichol. Now I had seen it spelled that way on my birth certificate, but my mom said she had told the nurse when I was born that it was a typo and it needed to be changed. Guess they never changed it. So I kept it, its unique.
Full name (First, Middle and Last when Mom gets pissed or she wants me to do something for her)
Nicknames: Tonnie (like Connie), Ton (Tawn) or T

Margaret

my really good friends from high school call me margie or marge. they're the only ones i tolerate it from though cuz i can't stand it.

some people call me maggie which i really like but my parents were really big against nicknames as a child so it never completely caught on.

one of my friends used to call me ohio because he says i don't talk like someone from brooklyn.

I'm surprised no one's posted my first name yet: Melissa.

And that would be spelled the good old fashioned way - not any of those creepy funky spellings! I was at Sea-Tac airport, looking at a luggage tag that read, "Maylyssia Jones" and was shocked to hear her respond to "Melissa". I wanted to hurt her.

But most of my family & friends call me Honey or some version (Honeychile, Honeybee, Honeybear, whatever) - get called something as a child & it sticks for life!

My name is Colleen (Col-leen not Co-leen). My middle name is Marie. But until the day I was born my parents thought I'd be Kevin. I took Patricia as my confirmation name.

My sorority little sister's name is Melissa and I nicknamed her Honeybee since that is the Greek translation of Melissa.
