    I hate Susie. You have to be pretty freakin' special to me to call me Susie, and most people just don't qualify.

    lol My name is Jennifer but if you call me that I will think you mad at me. I introduce myself as Jen and that pretty much all I go by...

    Never ever Jenny though the only one who can get away with this is my baby sister..........

    I just got an invitation to a friend's graduation and she spelled my name with a Y on the envelope. Seriously! She was my Maid of Honor at my wedding and she can't spell my name?

    My boyfriend had me under 'Racheal' in his phone for about a year haha and I still get it on birthday cards from even family!

    My sister also gets Leah.. it's Leigh! Sometimes she gets Lee too, and the hospital she went to for years (heart murmer) always had her as a Mr no matter how many times my mam told them its Miss!

    Fair to say I get called Leigh sometimes (acceptable, we are twins after all), even by my parents.. in which case I just ignore their request until they look at me properly and realise I'm not Leigh!

    My parents hated the idea of people shortening our names so called their kids Mary, Keith & Jill.
    Difficult to shorten them you would think??
    Dad used to call us, in order, Daisy, Cloth-ears & Jillikins!!

    I have a few nicknames, most of which I hate. My name is Melissa, the name I ALWAYS prefer. My parents still call me Sissy, for 37 years now...ugh! My brother calls me Sis, which I don't mind because it's him. A dear friend of mine started calling me Mel and I HATE it!! It rubbed off on my employees and I yelled at them. Only that one friend can call me Mel. My employees now call me Boss Lady. In high school, people called me Missy, but I don't allow this at all, from anyone anymore. It makes me feel juvenile. Creepy men randomly call me dear, sweet, hun or baby. It barely makes it out of thier mouths before I put them in thier place. You have to be over the age of 65ish and a genuine sweet old man/woman to call me dear or sweetie...lol

    I love being called Cor or Cory Ida.
    Longer or shorter, doesn't matter. But I do like when someone plays with the name a bit. And I love nicknames

    I grew up Howard, everybody either called my by my last name (I went to high school with five Howards. I thought it was the most popular name on the planet.) or Howard. (Or Monchichi but that was because of my Rockin JewFro)

    First day on my internship in radio in florida the show host goes. "There is only one Howard in Radio, you aint him."

    I've been Howie ever since.

    Oooooh yes. Only another Sharon will know the feeling of disgust when someone calls her Shaz. I HATE IT. Thankfully, not many people do it. Some people say Shar, that doesn't bother me as much but it's still not my name....

    Hubby and I call eachother babe. We don't say eachothers name unless we are in an argument and I HATE it. It makes whatever he's saying so much worse when he says it lol

    I have a unique name and I get called all sorts of things by people. I usually don't mind unless they call me Xena warrior princess. My name is Cina.

    My name is Jessica, I get called Jessie, Jess, and sometimes Jennifer. lol. I don't mind any of it but Jessie and Jess is what I got called as a kid so kinda feels weird sometimes to be called that as an adult.
    OMG....I get called Jennifer all the time! Everyone calls me Jess except my husband, he calls me Jessica.

    I have a few friends who call me Sar. It only confuses me because Sarah is pretty short already.

    Never liked being called "Dave" the name is David. I have been this waay since I was a kid and as I got older I just learned to accept it rather than correct people. Whereas my brother prefers the Dan over Daniel or Danny.

    Only really get annoyed with my co-worker when she shortens my name to Sher but its mainly because its HER. She is annoying! When she talks to the men she talks almost in a baby-talk voice. She calls our shipping manager Stevie when his proper name is Stephen. (I called my son Stevie until he was about 4, then called him Steven because he wasnt a baby anymore). AND she has this god awful habit of calling people "sweetie". I really REALLY hate when people who dont even KNOW me call me Sweetie and Hun and stuff like that. I just want to super glue her lips together!!!

    Does anyone get weird reactions to their name?

    My surname is Bowser so I've heard quite a lot of Mario Bros. jokes, and particularly since my partners parents have a dog called Mario, which his little brother found to be a hilarious coincidence.

    On the other hand having the surname Bowser did get me a job at a game store (and my knowledge of gaming of course).

    oh my gosh. i think im in love <3:love:
