I have a cousin name Mercedes ~ HOWEVER ~ they DO NOT pronounce it as the car. It's always been MER see dees.
I always hated to say it out loud for fear everyone would think I did not know how to pronounce it. I don't understand why people do that.

Anyway, I started calling her Dees. It's cuter anyway.

Robert, Rob, Bob or Bobby. At least 3/4 of the ones I've met have been complete deriere parts.

P.S. It was my dad's name. He falls into the 3/4 catagory.

I hate the name william, will, bill or billy or any form of the name william! i don't know why. i guess its because my stepdads name is bill and we didnt have a good start when him and my mom got together and also my real dads name is bill and if you knew him you would understand. I love my dad to death, but i just wish he would use his brains sometimes!!!

mmm, my husband is called Pat and so is my mother in law...lol. One of my best friends is called Donna, my cousin is Ruth.....ha ha.

Its funny though isnt it how you associate feelings with names, I found it hard choosing my childrens names because of it, I always remembered someone with that name!

I dont like Vikkii ( yes thats how she spelt it too!) or Marc,(stupid boyfriend of a year when I was at school,who I had to ignore whilst at school in case his friends thought he liked me or something silly....pratt. Hey the things you think are ok at 14? cant type what Id say to that idea now or Id get my first admin)

But after the movie "The Omen" I'm always amazed and somewhat appalled that anyone would name their son Damien (or Damian, etc.) You just expect the kid to be - at minimum - a total brat. *L*

Lindsay, Lindsey, Linzy or any other form on that name. I have yet to have an encounter with someone that has some version of that name that didn't turn me off to that name further. LOL! And it's been multiple people so its not just a certain spelling.
