But this guy's name was def Tiffany!<br /><br />Loredana: Wow! You're not kidding...you went from names that I'm sure were constantly mis-spelled and mispronounced to the most basic names of all. I'm sure they sound beautiful with an Italian accent, though...(sigh...)<br /><br />Sara: AH! What an amazing story! How the heck did they mistake your name (the mistresses for the wife's?) "Um, oops" is right! I like the name Lee...that happens to be my middle name!<br /><br />book*addict: I love it! See? That's always the way...you hate the attention till it's taken away from you, right?<br /><br />Gropius: Hmmm. I do see your point. It's like calling a baby Stanley. Some names are made to be grown into. maybe "Eiley"?? You KNOW they'll be coming up with some nicknames of their own. I can guarantee it!<br /><br />Oddyoddyo13: Oh, I looove Bella!

The poor dog gets called anything from his actual name--Andy--to WeenieMan, Weiner, Whiner, Butthead (not by me) and the groomsmen in my wedding called him worse than that.

He's also been kissyfer, wee-j, the weedge, CJer deejer, and guy smiley. Molly has been momo, jolly, tamale, mo and Lulu. Sean has only been Sean-o or Disco. And me? Heck I'm punkin, peanut, gert, sweetie sugar honey poo love of my life (obviously this one is from my hubs), princess, and Spot. I do love me some nicknames. My hubs has been danger ranger to summer camp staff and captain oblivious to me & the kids.
