On another note, don't even bother asking me about my last name. I freaking hate it. I think my first name would sound better with Buckingham at the end but that sure ain't happening any time soon

Not necessarily. Maybe they're looking to adopt.

Speaking of name meanings, Joseph means 'He shall add children!' What the hell? Talk about getting a hint from the folks

maybe they mean A-D-D children. The last Joseph I taught had a bit of an attention challenge.

I guess my name's okay...but for some reason no one seems to know how to say it!! I've been called Dana, Dina, Diana (my BIGGEST pet peeve) at restaurants or whatever I always emphasize the DEEanna...ahaha..but it never fails, they write down Diana, and that's what they call out...it bugs me.

Anway, seems that there were several parents not wanting to give their kids hard names to spell....

My mom wanted to name me Danielle after an uncle (Daniel) I have, then she wanted to name me Emmanuel or Noel (the first two were too hard to spell, the last my dad hated) so somehow they ended up with Deanna

Look on the bright side, at least they didn't combine the two and call you Nomannuel.
What do you think of just plain Dee?

My dad's name is Daniel....and I am Danielle.... I have been told that I was almost a Christine. (LOL!)

Daniel's a fine biblical name, but I'll always associate it with my weird childhood neighbor. Some names can just get ruined for you that way.

I've never really liked my name, Deborah, a lot. I will introduce myself as Deborah and people will still call me Debbie which I hate. Deb is okay but I am definitely not a Debbie. Of course Deborah is better than Dorothy which my dad wanted to name me after his mom.

The biblical Deborah rocked!
But I'm not nuts about Debbie.

But I'm doubting anybody would call you Debbi.

I was exactly the same way as a kid... you couldn't find jacksquat with "Meredith" on it... it used to piss me off!

Now I'm pretty neutral on my name. It's ok.

I love uncommon names, especially if they're easy to spell.

How do you know? Do you stand outside and watch and laugh?

I like my name - unfortunately it seemed to be very "in-vogue" in the early 1970's, because there were so many other Heathers in school.

My middle name - Louise - I do not like at all. Probably becasue my dad used to call me "Wheesy" like the lady from The Jeffersons. I don't think there is any comparion there - my dad probably just used it to get on my nerves!

Heather was really common when I was a kid, you're right.

I dated a model named Louise, and her family called her Weezie.
She looked nothing like Mrs. Jefferson, though she did live in a deeeluxe apartment in the sky-y-y.

Christy is cool, although the spelling issues throughout life poses some problems. I know how Lindsey feels.

My dad wanted to name me......

Windy Day.

LOL

My mom wanted to name me Shelley or Sheila and no offense to Shelleys or Sheilas but , thank goodness for Christy, my mom's best friend in high school. LOL

I'll never read your posts again without thinking of the song Windy.
("Everyone knows it's Wind- Eee...")

Yeah, I've been told I was either going to be Joanna Rebecca or my dad wanted to name me Diana, after the Princess. (I was born the year she married Prince Charles).

My mom worked with a lady who'd just had a baby named "Meredith," and she heard the name and liked it because at the time it wasn't that common. My great-grandmother picked out "Elizabeth" as my middle name. My last name is short (5 letters, 2 syllables) so it goes well with it.

I always thought Merf was short for Smerf.

So tell us JAKE....if it's a nickname...what's the real name? Jacob?

Nope.
Think of the Michael Douglas movie. "I'll never te-ell."
