madhatter Registered: 02/03/07 Posts: 70 Loc: North Florida	I always hated my name. Mom said I actually kicked her in utero when she said,"if it's a boy, it will be Harry, and Harriet for a little girl". She should've known then. I was stuck with the Harriet the ajax turned blue and Harriet the cow. So, in college, when a friend started to call me "Rhett", I loved it. It stuck. Even my mother calls me Rhett now. Plus, it is a good pen name for a southern fiction author. _________________________ author's website: www.rhettdevane.com drop in, I'll put on the coffee...

meredithbead The Divine Ms M Registered: 07/07/03 Posts: 4894 Loc: Orange County, California	I'm wondering if Michelle could be a derivative of either Michal (my name -- and not very likely) or the feminine of Michael, which means "who is like unto God?" _________________________ My handcrafted jewelry: limited edition designs more jewelry, plus bead supplies Poet and essayist

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	You being DIVINE, Ms M, I think you are "one who is like unto God." My name Georgia. Meaning = earth. Or, of th earth. I was named after my Uncle George who drowned when I was 6. I was his fav... I've always like it because of him. It made me feel special knowing I was somehow carrying on his name. _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

meredithbead The Divine Ms M Registered: 07/07/03 Posts: 4894 Loc: Orange County, California	I can't pay her enough, can I? and on that track ... my given English name, Meredith, is derived from the Greek: Sea Goddess.

Anno Member Registered: 09/15/05 Posts: 4434 Loc: Minneapolis Minnesota	Okay, I will play. I have been avoiding this thread because my name has always been an issue with me. I am Ann, such a simple name. And full of grace, I ain't. I was suppose to be named Ruth (and I am so glad I was not), but I guess someone objected to the name. But why I hate my name has to do with my parents own hate of their names. They both have incredibly complicated names (they would KILL me if I divulged them) but they are poetic, in my mind. They so hated their names, that they gave us simple names.

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Gimster, I love the name Ramona. Grandpa Jones'[from HeeHaw fame] wife's name is Ramona. She's so pretty. Last I knew, Ramona Jones still traveled with their daughter. She plays the violin and sings. Cool lady. Cool name! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

Anno Member Registered: 09/15/05 Posts: 4434 Loc: Minneapolis Minnesota	I was just talking about this with a friend, the other day. I have worked with tons of Anns but I have never had a student with the name Ann. Anna, Anna, Angelika, Angela, Annggie (really!), and other derivatives, but never Ann. My name does age me, but so do my sags and wrinkles. _________________________ Follow our story of living, loving and laughing with a debilitating disease: http://www.multiplesystematrophyandshy-drager.blogspot.com

Di Member Registered: 11/15/05 Posts: 2798 Loc: NM, transplant from NJ	Diane...only knew one other Diane in grammar school. Not very often do I hear it...although Diana is a hispanic version...and around here where we live, they ALWAYS want to call me Diana...which I do not like. I like MY name! So I am always correcting..."with an 'E' on the end please!" Never had a middle name, but I use my maiden name. When I was Catholic and had a confirmation name, it was Catherine. But I am not Catholic any longer so I dropped it. _________________________ Southwest Body Gear here ~ NEWLY updated website with many new products!
