John Odesas.
My dad's name was John also, but his middle name was george. Growing up he was Big John and i was Little John. that changed in HS when i started working out and got bigger than him. he can still kick my butt though  (or so he says  )
My mom's friends call me Odie, from my middle name, it was my paternal grandfather's name and he went by Odie too.
My mom tells me that she wanted to name me Nikolas Alexander and i'm disappointed cuz i think i'd make a good Nik. I've decided that i'm gonna use that name for one of my sons. Nikolas Alexander Kitso.
Kitso
KS 361 times i'm gonna use Nik if i ever need an alias

I used to work with a girl who was from Ireland who had the same name. She told us to call her "shoon" though. She would always say shoon, you know, rhymes with moon!

Emily.
But all my friends and family shorten in to either Em, Ems, or Emmy. I have a lot of micknames, but I'll just keep them to myself
I actually prefer if my friends/family shorten my name. It's always so weird to hear them call me Emily. I usually think I'm in trouble

Lauren Patrice if my mama is really pissed off at me.
I have a ton of nicknames:
Lola-The most used one by my best friends. Coined Sr.year of high school cause, "Whatever Lola wants, Lola Gets"
Lucky- Shortened form of Lucky Bug. Its a long story but its from that line in Mulan "you are one lucky bug!"
Lil G- My "G-Unit" nickname! My best friend and her friends at Berry are obsessed with 50 cent and we all have g-unit nicknames. My is Lil G since I go to UGA.
Sally- In like, 5th grade, one of my best friend's dad called me that and its stuck(She's a DG now too!!!)
Pooh- I love Winnie the Pooh.l My other close friend is Piglet. Ok, we were in 5th grade.

Aimée, pronounced A-may. It's quite simple. It's French for Amy.
It's NOT:
Ah-may (which is what FI's family calls me and it drives me CRAZY)
Ah-me
Amy
Almay (yes, I've gotten this one)
It looks quite pretty written out (especially with my middle and last names which are also very, very French), but it sucks to ALWAYS have to correct people on the pronunciation of your name.

And when I curse my dad will pull out the full Lesley Lenora.....
Oh, and I don't like "Les"

too many similarities here...
I'm Leslie.
I was almost Lesleigh, which would have been really cool, but people can't spell my name as it is.
My parents have called me La since I was a baby, and my freshman year of college, some of my friends took to calling me LaLa! When my brother was little, he couldn't say L's and called me Essie.
I don't like Les either.
Most of my friends here call me Lina because that was my name in Italian class, and for some reason, it spread...
And I completely flip on anyone who pronounces it like it's spelled "LeZlie."

My name is Makeda. It means the Queen of Sheba. Bet ya'll didn't know I'm actually royalty
My family calls me Tee. (long story) Nobody really calls me keda.
My best friend has started calling me Sally. ( Whenever we order from a certain tex-mex place, I Always ask for me taco salad to be made a certain way.) She thinks that's funny and it reminds her of Sally from When Harry met Sally.

Susan..for whatever##@ reason...
My mother didn't want me called Suzy-Q so I was called Lynn while growing up. When I asked her why she didn't just name me something else, she wouldn't give me an answer...my older brother is the same way..goes by his middle name.
Boy that causes a problem in the REAL world!!
When I got married, I wanted to make Lynn my FIRST name but Ga. Dept of Public Safety had a problem with that!!
