Ever Notice.......

.....how your name defines your personality? I always wanted a cute name like Monique or Yvonne or Yvette. So what do I get? BRIDGET! theres no way that the owner of that name could be perceived as cute or sexy. That name has defined me as a big, strong irish gal who will beat you a$$ if you look at her cross-eyed I could never be a stripper with a name like that. (and I SO wanted to do that too) Anyways............do you like your name? willby

Mine is OK, I guess....I heard it was the most popular girls name in the US in 1975. It means "strong and womanly." I always loved the name Maya, and that would've been my sons name, if he were a girl. My daughter's name is Cecelia, and she loves it, and I think it is beautiful, and we have never met another kid named Cecelia. I believe my name translates to "average." I don't believe it is the name of a CEO or Nobel Prize winner, but it'll have to do. Could've been worse, I suppose! Carrie

Hi Bridget aka Bridget Bardoe, I didn't know my name was "Virginia" untill my second grade teacher called it out and I didn't respond. I kept waiting for her to call out "Ginger" so I could raise my name high. My teacher insisted on calling me Virginia cause that was her name too! I always looked for a nick-name..didn't know how to shorten it so I started in third grade to leave off the last 2 letters in my name..."Virgin" that shortened it right?? Well, needless to say, my parents were called in for a conference about the matter. My dad had the job of telling me why I couldn't write that name on my papers anymore. My dad was a red-head---boy was his face RED. Oh, and by the way, my dad "got to" talk to me about the women's reproductive system too That red face beat all others. He was prepared with graphs and diagrams..and my brothers couldn't come into the living room until the lecture was over (of course they snickered in the hallway) That was the first and last "fact-of-life" talk we ever had. When my little sisters came along...I filled them in on the good stuff! What are big sisters for anyways?? It gets confusing having two names that you go by...Virginia for the legal stuff..and Ginger for the fun stuff. I feel like I have a dual personality.....maybe I should had discussed that in my pysc exam for wls Hugs, Virginia aka Ginger.....now that's a stripper name if I've ever heard one

I had an eldery great aunt who's name was Virgin Mary...she went by Virgie. There are a lot of Marys in our family. My mom, my sister and I all have Mary as a first name (although only my mom uses it) and 3 out of my 4 grandparents had a sister named Mary. (I know what you're thinking, but no, actually we are/were Baptist... )

Hi Kaycee, Family names..aren't they something??? I never heard of someone's legal name being Virgin Mary...that's allot to live up to. I never went by Virgie..it just didn't work for me. I love the name Mary. As simple as it is...it is so beautiful. Hugs, Virginia aka Ginger

Well, Ginger, Aunt Virgie certainly had some "issues" so maybe the name is to blame? And, Kaycee, don't you think Myra has excellent taste in names? (Just add "Mary" to each one somewhere. . . ) Beth

Hi willby! I do like my name now, but always wanted something different when I was a kid. You got me thinking however about my name on here, and I always knew that Karyn means "pure" but I wasnt sure what my middle name Renee meant, so I decided to look it up. Funny that I just changed it to that because the meaning of Renee is "REBORN" so how appropriate is that?? Karyn

I ABSOLUTELY love my name. I was named Erica after Erica Kane from All my Children. I have a twin sister named Tara (from All My Children as well!). I wouldn't want another name though. I asked my mother why we didn't have middle names and she said that it took long enough to get the first names, she didn't want to think about other names. I told her once that I was going to create myself a middle name and she said to go ahead, be creative. So unofficially my name is Erica Kane' Pearson !!! Is that creative or what!!!!? Erica

My best friend was also named after Erica Kane!!! She also loves her name, but it is kind of creepy because she really does look like her! She is an itty bitty little thing and has a simular face, just like the "real" Erica Kane!

Marlena............it is so strange and i have to spell it to everyone lol I hate my name but then i went and named my daugther Ana now i have to spell her name to ever everyone because is say it like you would say Anna, so i got to be mean to my kid like my mom was to me payback is sweet lol lol lol lol lol lol
