Rhonda

And believe me, it’s a great joy in life to introduce yourself, or answer the phone and hear “Help Me, Rhonda” sung in an off-key voice…this was especially fun when I worked the “Helpdesk” a while back.

Hi, I’m Jonathan (Jon). Son of Edward (Ed) and Deborah (Debbie, never Debbi or Debby). People at school sometimes call me Pip, but if you’re not from school and call me that, I will give you a dirty look. You can call me Sani, if that doesn’t make me sound like some sort of health freak that washes their hands every 30 seconds or something.

I think I’ve made the longest post so far. And to make it longer, here’s my sig.

Jennifer. Can’t stand it, it’s far too common of a name, but what am I gonna do–at 28, it’s just too far gone to make a big name change.

Mel, but I’ve been known to answer to a lot of other names.  
Most of which I shouldn’t repeat in mixed company.

Looks like I’m the only **Kim** here. I got the name Rachelle from my friend Rachelle. We used to go out to the bars and I would use her name and she would use mine when we met people. It was a lot of fun at the time. What can I say… we were young. :rolleyes:
