Graeme: Gaelic for “Well Hung One”
What?..it could be true.
I’m Lindsay although I would love to change the spelling to "Lyndsey.
I’ve had the same experiences with multiple Lindsay’s in one place. My chorus class this year had 3, and I had two classes with another Lindsay. We must have driven the teachers crazy.
'tis a fine middle name you got there, Gunslinger.
Kent is also my first name.
Among the nicknames that I’ve had Shiva is pretty descriptive.
Jeff. Only my mom can call me Jeffrey.
Trivia alert Dorothy L. Sayers’ suave detective Lord Peter Wimsey had the middle name Death. It was a family name.
Ronnal
And it is annoying when they auto-correct the spelling for you…
O
vidi vici veni
Mike. Pronounced like Mike. Not a family name.
Dean.
I see that I am the only Dean listed. Could I be unique?
Keren
pronounced like kevin but with and R
most people call me berk or skins though. take your pick.
My daughter’s name is Sarah, with an H.
Yes, I have had the exact same thing happen.
People give you this dumb look and say, “Wouldn’t that be SHara?”
“No, you stupid idiot, the H is at the end!!!”
Sheesh.
Julie. Named for a Doris Day song.
Aaron
And people who spell it Arron, Aron, or the biggest insult, Erin, really piss me off. It’s not that uncommon a name. And Erin is the girls way.
You don’t need to know my first name, because nobody ever uses it.
My friends call me Mike, but you can call me Jack.
Hi, I’m Brian. I’m a Sagittarius, and like long walks to my bedroom, dinner served on your tummy, and boinking till the cows forget where they live.

Only my tummy?

Cathy. No, not Catherine, not Kathleen, Cathy. It isn’t short for anything. And yes, it is spelled with a “C.” I like people who ask, rather than assume it’s spelled with a “K.”
The first day of school was always terrible–no teacher ever got it right. I had a teacher who insisted that Cathy must be short for something. I thought she was going to call my parents.
People call me Cathy, Cat, and CJ. My husband calls me Boo–but no one else is allowed to.
Pete (which is actually a nickname, but people never use my real name, not even in basic training)
grem
Kora here.
I never meet any else with my name spelled the same, and I think I’ve only met 3 Cora’s as well.
Wow, nobody else with the name Rebecca yet? That’s surprising. Well, in case you miss it, my first name is Rebecca, and for anybody that wants to make fun of it, my middle name is Sue. Rebecca Sue. I really hate that name. All my friends know me as Becca. That’s it for now. Later!
