My nickname, Tammy, is easier to handle, but it always made me think of a stereotypical ditsy cheerleader-type girl which was not me at all.

So when I had a daughter I swore I wouldn't stick her with a plain name. So I named her Ciara, which she in turn never liked because no one could spell it or pronounce it right (key-air-ah).

My sister has three friends from college that she called the Jennifer's. <br /><br />I also remember in high school thinking that I wanted to name my future daughter after my grandmother in some way, but I didn't want to give a baby my grandmother's "old lady" name: Emma, which by the time my daughter was actually born was enjoying a surge in popularity. By then, of course, I/we had chosen another name altogether.Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-75736417166035842082016-04-23T02:36:34.715-04:002016-04-23T02:36:34.715-04:003 Bellas.

(I blogged about it.) In 6th period I discovered while taking roll that there were 2 Elizabeths in class. They sat at the same table (naturally). So, at some point I said it was kind of confusing to have 3 Elizabeths in class. They corrected me. I informed them that I was the 3rd.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-28722390352983811082016-04-23T00:51:46.716-04:002016-04-23T00:51:46.716-04:00I certainly didn't like my name when I was you...I certainly didn't like my name when I was younger as it set me apart from others I thought - I always wanted to be called Pamela!

It was a very popular name the year we named him. I remember being at the park and calling his name and 4-5 little boys would pop up their heads :)<br /><br />I wasn't crazy about my name. My full first name is Betty Jean with no middle name; I tend to make Jean my middle name. I could have been Donna Jean, my dad's favorite, but mom liked Betty Jean. <br /><br />It is a delicate art naming a child I think!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-12106738688383822682016-04-23T00:21:57.949-04:002016-04-23T00:21:57.949-04:00I was never happy with my name.

There were two in his class all through grade school. So one was Daniel and the other was Danny. My son chose to be called Danny. That is what we still call him. My youngest was Justin and there were lots of Justins but luckily never in his class. The often called him Jason!
