Holy shit man. You have SO may posts for only being here a month. And I’ll bet 25% of them are threads you started. ---

[QUOTE=Cubsfan] Holy shit man. You have SO may posts for only being here a month. And I’ll bet 25% of them are threads you started. [/QUOTE] Well, that’s clearly because no one else seems as willing to tackle the burning issues of the day. ---

[QUOTE=gonzomax] Do names determine what you become. ? Will a boy named Bruno become a dancer. Could a Percy become a football player. ? Could Gertrude become a film star. ? Could Barack become a president? Could Hillarity become a prez.? Wait and see. [/QUOTE] I like the way you’re thinking here. ---

[QUOTE=lobstermobster] I love it when people in high school (and beyond) decide to change the spellings of their name. All of a sudden another student was Kym. And if you acted like it ever wasn’t you were dead to her. A little bit of facebook stalking confirms that she is in fact still using this spelling at age 25. She’s also just as goth. High Priestess of Staying up Past her Bedtime. There was also Jessika which because Jessicat which became Jezzika. I’m not making this up. She thought I stole her boyfriend and wanted to murder me. Oh! and then for a while I knew a Rhob He’s just Robert now. [/QUOTE] I knew a Jesika, as far as I know, that was her given name. I kind of wanted her to spell it Jesyka just so it’d make for an even odder spelling when I tell people about it. 😃 ---

My cousin married a lovely girl named Wonita. At first I thought it was my aunt who just didn’t know how to spell “Juanita” Nope, alas. I got their wedding invitation. Her parents really did name her Wonita. ---

Last year the following spellings did research in the place that I work: Britney Brittiney Britianie That list will grow like the mighty oak this year. All the Brit’s are starting college. Next up: the line of Madison/Madysyn/Maddyson/Madyisyion/Please take vowels away from new parents. ---

[QUOTE=Shirley Ujest] [Britney](http://www.babynamewizard.com/namevoyager/lnv0105.html) [Brittanny](http://www.babynamewizard.com/namevoyager/lnv0105.html) I am personally relieved that the wave of Tiffany/Tiffani/Tyffany and Amber ( no other way to spell it) horror seems to have abated. [/QUOTE] Obviously you’ve never watched Rock of Love 2, and therefore seen the glory that is [Ambre](http://www.famousvh1friends.com/personality/16).
