I don't use my real name online ( I do IRL), not because of identity theft or anything like that. I don't use it because most people don't believe me! :laugh: (Username is because of the #of cats I have & the fact that I love faeries!)

My real first name is Pepper! :heart:

Back in the '70's Angie ****inson (love how MFP edits her name for me)was on a show called Police Woman. Her character was named Sgt. "Pepper" Anderson.

As a child I hated it because I got made fun of constantly. Every rude, mean, silly thing you can think of & probably more! Have had lots of nicknames over the years as well. Doesn't help that my favorite soda is in fact "Dr. Pepper" either! :bigsmile:

Some of my nicknames have been:
Pep (still in use)
Pepsi
Pepperoni
Doc (used this one when I was a Girl Scout camp leader & all the girls thought I was joking when I told them my real name - had to show them my I.D.!)
Pepe Le Pew (thanks Mom!)

Thank you all in advance for sharing! Really interested in hearing all the cool names! :flowerforyou:

    My maiden name was Bump. Hence why I got married at 18. I swore that if I didn't get married, I would change it. My great-grandfather's name was Forrest Bump. NO LIE.

    My middle name is Brook which was purposefully spelled like the stream because my dad is Native American. It's better than his original plan of "Greentree"

    Savannah.

    it's not so different anymore, but back 25 years ago you rarely heard of girls with my name.

    For nicknames (nothing too original):
    Sav, Savs, Savvy, SavSki (polish!)

    I'm currently in Philippines where people use a lot of unusual names that is either repeating, doorbell or baby-sounding names like Pot-pot, Ding-dong, Bing-bing, Tin-tin, Din-din, Len-len, Boy, Girlie, Baby, Sunshine, Joy etc.

    By the way my real name is Jaclyn. While its not unique name anymore but it used to be back in the 70's (my parents told me they got it from Jaclyn Smith of the original Charlie's Angels). Also I'm one of the only 2 in our family who doesn't carry a Spanish first name.

    My first name is Tobi... typically a boys name (I'm a girl) - lots of people name their dogs Toby as well. The worst was when I was young the move Roots came out and there is a scene in the movie where a slave is being beaten and the master is telling him is name is now Toby. A lot of kids teased me back then. But now that I'm older and I like my name - I was named after my grandpa - his name was Tobias and they called him Toby for short.

    My first name is Cassondra....middle name is DANIEL. Yes, on my birth certificate it says Cassondra Daniel. My mother is half Puerto Rican (but raised in Tennessee...culture virtually lost in the twang and hills of TN) and she didn't know how to spell Danielle. So she just spelled it the way you would in spanish...Daniel. So it is SUPPOSED to be Danielle (I tell people its Danielle.) but it is legally Daniel.
