and you'd know it sucks ....Peter Peter pumpkin eater - adnausium... :?

Ahh - just to have a name like "Norm"....one could only wish! Is that short for "Normal?" :twisted: In your case Norm - I doubt it! You twisted....*****!! 8)

But better than some other names tho....but I got back at myself by selecting the confirmation name of "Dameon." 8) Oh no! I've divulged that someone sprinkled water on me and slotted me into pergatory at what? 1 month old????

My kids? I made sure (as best I could) that they wouldn't have to go through the same BS that I had to.

I asked my Mom if I could be called "Steve" when I was about 8.

Justa thought about names.... :lol:

Oh geese - i can hear it now...whaddaya call a guy with no arms and no legs sitting in the....

Sure sounds good Pete until every bloody time you walk in for a cold one the whole place erupts in the chorus "NORM"!

As for me, when I worked for the telephone company in a very small remote area I was nick-named Ding-a-Ling Dave! Everybody in town had a nick-name except for Harry Dick(!)

Peter, just to rub salt into your wound, we'll just call you "POTASSIUM NITRATE."

Don't Feel Bad

I had a friend named Curtis Lipps. His nickname was, of course....you guessed it......Dick! I always wondered why he did not change his name. I was not pleased with my Polish surname, grew up getting in fights over it. (Anti-Hunky prejudice was heavy in the midwest in the '60's.) Anyway, I took my wife's surname when we wed, went much better after that.

Hi Pete

You not happy with your name?

Surely not. Nothing wrong with Pete as a name.

Nothing wrong with Pete...

Nothing wrong with the name Pete...I would have killed for a normal name!

Try going through life with the name DEDE! I go by Dee however my given name is DEDE ANNE Moore. I was born in the early 60's...guess putting my name in all caps was some anti-establishment thing or something.

Anyhow, I was called Dinty Moore...Dede Amin Sadat...Doodles...Deedles and much worse! Plus I can't tell you how many people in my lifetime have asked (and STILL ask) what Dee/Dede is short for...

My husbands name is Jack and his sisters name is Jill....I almost didn't get a second date because I was laughing so hard...didn't think anyone would do THAT to their kids. I get along just fine with my mother in law now though!
