I hate the Kayla, Kaylee, Karlee, Kyree names. Sorry if that's you.0 -

I confess I feel the same way about the names that end in "Y", like Kimberly, Tiffany, Brittany, Haley, Stephany, etc...0 -

My name is Melissa. I was named after a CCR song, and a girl from the little house on the prairie books.
I feel it suits me.
Loved Little House on the Prairie books. Had the whole set and read them innumerous times.0 -
What annoys me about names is when parents give their kids names that have similar endings. A family at a church I used to go to named their sons Carter, Parker, and Spencer. My brother's kids' names end in -en, -in, and -on. I don't know why, it just bugs me for some reason. I also don't like it when people name their kids and call them by their middle name. Example: Singer Josh Turner has a son named Crawford Marion and they call him Marion.
My name is incredibly unique and it is annoying because no one pronounces it or spells it right. All of my other siblings got normal names except my sister Shawn, but even that's not bad. My 10th grade health teacher never said it right for the entire semester. After correcting him for the third time, I gave up. I avoided participating in that class because I was embarrassed every time he called on me. I've thought about legally changing my name, but I can't think of anything else I'd rather be called.
I, too, dislike when parents call them by their middle name! Unless they're a junior or a III.
I understand this except with my last name I always cringed in college the first day of class when they'd take roll (high school there were so many Buehrle's everyone knew how to pronounce it by the time I got there so it wasn't an issue!)0 -

A former friend had a husband named Charles and they got twins and named them Charlie and Charley or something. I don't even. As if it wasn't annoying enough to have a twin.0 -

Also, both names are super old timey.
I love old timey names! One of my friends just had a baby and named her Hazel. So cute. My name begins with an "R" and is biblical old timey!
I'm going to guess Ruth or Rachel? Haha my first name is Laura and I enjoy my first and middle names!
Rachel I used to hate it when I was a kid (probably because there aren't any good nicknames. "Rae" - nah. "Rach" - hate it with the fire of a thousand suns). But I love it now!

There's a family where the dads name is Kevin and they have twins names Kevin and Nevik ...Yep.
Also dude named his twins William and William.
Came across a case child's name is Saule'berti. (Pronounce celebrity)0 -

I was going to say "character from Friends or character from Cheers?" which are my two go-tos for Biblical R names, but Ruth is good too.0 -

I dated a guy who was a "goes by his middle name" (he was not a junior). He more officially went by first initial, full middle, last, and then was called the nickname for the middle.
He subsequently became a hard right politician who was in a sex scandal when his wife was pregnant with their third child.
I see this as predictable.0 -

My kids have proper nicknames, which comes with the territory of old timey names. They also have family nicknames.
"Butt head" and "fart butt".

Jo.
it's is a very shortened nick name... but people still spell it Joe.
I'm like.
I can't.
Also.
Back to the pap thing- I'm generally pretty good with small talk- I like jokes- I make them put up man- mobiles for me (pretty pictures of men- like the little fishes when you were a kid at the dentist)... but when I went for a colposcopy- she came up for air (different lady) and pushed down the sheet bewteen my knees so she could see me and started blabbering on about Jennifer Aniston vs Angelina Jolie. That was the moment I knew what was "to much for me".
Move it along lady- move it along.0 -

PS. Sorry if you're name ends in Y. My name is Jeanette and I don't love it either. Everyone calls me "J" except at work.0 -

Oh, I missed this. I love the name Rachel. It was always one of the names I'd give a daughter if that had ever come up.0 -

My real name is Liz (well Elizabeth) I grew up listening to idiot sign me the lizzy borden rhyme. So it can get it even when your name is fairly mainstream.0

Oh boy. In your line of work I can only imagine the horrid names you see! Why, WHY do people do that to their kids?! Yes, I know, because they believe they are all special snowflakes and have to give them "unique" names. Ugh.
I also hate normal names but ridiculous spellings. Recently I've seen "Aughsleigh" (Ashley) and "Aleix" (Alex). What on earth is the point? Now the child will spend the rest of their life telling others how to correctly spell their name.0 -
I finally reached my goal weight at the end of January and have maintained this weight loss. My confessions:
1) I'm afraid that eating one thing will make me fat all over again (even if it's just 1 piece of bread).
2) I have 0 appetite and am NEVER hungry.
3) I never eat in front of my mom unless she eats with me (which is almost never) because I'm afraid she's judging me for eating something and that I'm going to go back to my old eating habits (fast food 2-3 times a day, but I never eat that crap anymore, haven't since July 28, 2014).0 -

I can understand some people who go by their middle name. For example, I have an uncle whose name is Shirley Gene. He goes by Gene. Grandma was the only one I ever heard call him Shirley.
Naming somebody and planning for it? I don't get that.
Sorry, but I can't help it. "...And don't call me Shirley!"0 -

You are not alone. Sadly, this is an easy cycle to fall into, but a difficult one to break out of. When you get into the "can't stop eating" mode try stopping yourself, putting that food away and tell yourself it will be there tomorrow. And you can have it tomorrow. And if you keep eating normal / smaller amounts then you get to keep eating every day instead of fasting. Sorry, that's all I've got, but I hope it helps!0 -
I love snacks ( specially Chips). I do not log on a bad snacking day.0

Confession: I hate 'car' kid names. Bentley, Lexus, Mercedes, etc.

I'm Vivienne, my parents spelled it Vivian - thanks mum and dad, that's the boys way. I changed it in school. I hate Viv, but get called it, a lot, I don't correct people, I just secretly hate them for a minute.
All I've really eaten today is sweets and snacks, no real proper food and a couple of Disaronno's.0 -
