I like the name (warm feelings about it for some reason, maybe 'cause it's my aunt's name) but I'd hate it if everyone in my family had my name, too. :)<BR/><BR/>I think your pseudonym is perfect!Natalie J.

(Tribute to my grandmother.) <BR/><BR/>I never really liked Amanda for a variety of personal reasons. I did like that there haven't been many Amanda's that have crossed paths with me. My mom wanted my nickname to be Manda, but somehow Mandy caught on instead. Never a fan of that version either. I try to just ignore it altogether.<BR/><BR/>Ennis was constantly mispronounced by substitute teachers as Enos which as we all know rhymes with p*nis. You can imagine the colorful taunts the high school boys would come up with. <BR/><BR/>So now I'm glad to be a Brown.<BR/><BR/>WV snetfc-a stuffed up elephant sneezing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617199.post-29495022519291516492008-12-16T15:19:00.000-05:002008-12-16T15:19:00.000-05:00You're definitely more of a Vicki than a Victoria ...You're definitely more of a Vicki than a Victoria now, but of course I didn't know you as a kid. WV--I'd laugh, but... :)<BR/><BR/>Cindy, I love the way your hyphenated name rolls. And it's short enough to be reasonable! LOL Makes sense about the surname connection, especially when I consider that I moved a LOT so I didn't have that.Natalie J.

I DO identify with my surname, always have. I think this might come from growing up in a "community" so tiny that 90% of the residents had the same last name, same as mine. Also, I was VERY surprised when I found out women changed their names upon marriage. It was the late sixties when I found that out, and I was flabbergasted. It didn't occur that the issue wasn't put to a vote, LOL.<BR/><BR/>I like my middle name - Lee. I've become used to Cindy. To me it's the name of a 7 year old blonde baseball player, and I am a total klutz. But it's my name and i wouldn't know what else to name myself, so there you go.Cindy Procter-Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346582256561600721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617199.post-30346559270261167912008-12-15T20:20:00.000-05:002008-12-15T20:20:00.000-05:00Okay, I'll go.I didn't want to ever be called Vict...Okay, I'll go.<BR/>I didn't want to ever be called Victoria. I never even told people that was my real first name until after I had my second child. I thought it sounded too fancy and so not me. It was always Vicki, and for a short time in high school, spelled Vycki, thanks to my best friend at the time who spelled her name, Lynda. When I wrote back then (really bad poetry and short stories), I used Tori, but the name never stuck. <BR/>My middle name: Louise. Hated that for a very long time. When I was a kid, my mom wanted to call me Vicki-Lou. So glad that never came about. Don't hate Louise so much now. Both of my names came from my Grandmas and that's cool. <BR/>Maiden name: Webb<BR/>You can imagine the nicknames from that. Webhead. Spidey. The Webster.<BR/>Smith is easy. <BR/>As for nicknames...there really weren't any that stuck. I never thought I wanted to be called Vic. But when I became an Aunt, I became Aunt Vic. I like it though. My grandma was called Vic. <BR/>So there you have it. Not very exciting, I'm afraid. <BR/><BR/>Word Verification: hyllionc - A treatment to replace your hymen.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16478838920121224639noreply@blogger.com
