Pick your own name
Ok....new tradition....spawned by drunken chat conversation:
You get to give yourself a second middle name. go!

I really like my middle name, though. It flows with my first name perfectly.

When I was 10 I wanted to be called Louisa.
I know because I have a piece of schoolwork which tells me so. And I wanted to have black curly hair. It's a sad piece of writing actually. I couldn't understand why when my teacher read it she gave me a big hug and told me how lovely I was. Or why she edited it before I read it out at assembly (and even then my former teacher came and hugged me afterwards). We were asked to write about who we were and what we would change. I basically identifed that I had a bad temper, I was very naughty at home and I was horrible to my brother. I wanted to change my name (because everyone pronounced it wrong) my appearance (didn't identify my eye in those days, but I know what I meant) and wanted to be kinder, nicer and less trouble. In fact I wrote that I wished I was more like my sister. When I was 15 I wanted to change my name to Chloe. In fact when I was 17 I told a guy I met in a nightclub that that was my name, and it's what he and his friends and family called me for the 6 months we dated. Mum said that changing my name by deed poll wouldn't make me a different person - I might as well stop trying to run away from who I was and get on with things. I didn't agree, but could see it would involve a family fight if I went ahead with it. I've compromised by getting people to call me by a pet name over the years. That said - if I had to add a name to my two, I'd have Eilonwy. Too pretentiously Welsh to have as a first name. But one of my childhood heriones (Lloyd Alexander's books). Although I'd make it my first middle name, as I think CEKO would make an easier to write set of initals than CKEO. If I ever initial anything I always write CKO as it is, CO just looks silly. |

*Smiles* I suppose when we mould our own nickname we are selecting an identity. Mine was always Dani (pronounced daynee) amongst the family. I then went through a phase of Dana, which was at my own choosing. I just introduced myself as that when I went to a new job. Then a couple of mates started calling me Dani (pronounced Danni) and I rather liked that. I hated it as a kid, cause it made me sound like a boy lol. Now I mainly get called Danni, but Dana and Daynee are still current.
I did go through a very brief phase of being called Sweedy by J and the gang, many years ago but I have absolutely no recollection of the origin of that. |

Since I have no middle name, maybe now would be a good time to pick one.

I've never really felt terribly connected to my middle name, despite the fact that it was from my grandfather, who was a decent guy when not schnockered. Also, my initials are PRC, which my mother always pronounced as "perk", but which clearly say "prick".
I think maybe I'll take...Arthur. Patrick Arthur Chambers rolls well off the tongue, plus, my nickname could be PacMan.

Clearly my parents should've just named me "Awesome" from the get go. If they didn't want to seem too egotistical the could've gone with a name that means awesome, but no they went with a name that means honey bee. Great so they expected me to be lazy, fat, and clumsy...damn them for being right.

I always wanted to change my 1st name from Sheldon to Joshua.
But if I changed just my middle name, I would make it Oscar instead of Robert. That way my initials would be SOS. ![]()

With the haircut, or should I say lack of it, you sort of look like an oscar.

Hey! I have hair. You're just not looking at the right head.
