But surely it's pretty pointless giving any child a really long name like that? Since she is going to be known as 'Tue' to absolutely EVERYBODY, or, at most 'Tuesday' (which isn't really THAT 'out there'). The rest of the name is only going to be used on forms and for offical documentation, so if she really dislikes it she never even needs to tell anyone.
At graduation they called her name as "Tuesday A.L. ..." (can't remember her last name and should not post that anyway. So she is just a woman who has two middle initials.
I know exactly how she feels. It's like naming your son Leslie or Marion. My mother's older sister was named after a ranch hand (a man) called Shirley. When she was old enough she insisted everyone call her by her middle name, not because of the ranch hand, but because she hates the name Shirley. It doesn't suit her anyway.
about Nellie.... She's currently a couple of weeks old, but I'd be willing to bet she's dropped down to 'Ellie' by the time she's sixteen.
Most Sean's whats?
Trev's the man to talk to to catch you up on this situation.
I haven't had so much trouble with Seans .. I'm willing to take a few off you in exchange for some people called Graham or Lucy though. They've all been absolute twats apart from one Lucy.
Reminds me of a radio segment, I think by Chris Moyles, called 'all Emma's are evil'
I only know one Emma and she's a bit of a dick as well. The Mrs doesn't like her either but I'm polite to her. She got made up to store manager and seems to have decided 'serving customers' is beneath her now so her shop can be rammed with customers waiting to be served and only one member of staff serving but she doesn't do serving customers anymore so we all get ignored.
Should be 'Most Seans are dicks'.
And then they go on endlessly about being descended from the great kings of ancient Ireland!
What's wrong with Nellie? My niece was named Donella and we called her Nellie Blye. When she was very young (maybe three) she told me "My name is not Nellie Blye, it is Donella Blye". I love 3 year olds.But loads of people hate their names. It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the name, per se, just that the namee doesn't like it.
Around here, loads of people seem to be giving birth to their great grandparents. There's little, Ava, Ada, Nellie, Archie, etc etc. I wonder what those children will think of their names later in life? I was particularly
I reckon that half the population of Australia believe that they are Irish/Scots/Welsh, rather than just plain old Aussies.
So what is the difference between Sean, Shaun & Shawn? (I have an idea about Shawn, americnaization of Sean?)
I was the only one around (none in her family knew) who could explain why they made that mistake.
