    Actually, Red Fairy (she's on this forum but a lurker) is a friend and colleague and she's always going on about it being Ann, WITHOUT THE E!!! Plus, my name's almost always spelt incorrectly too...sigh...

    Mine is mis-pronounced more often than not. Can't remember the last time a stranger got it right.

    Hw very wise. Mind you, we got caught out. My eldest daughter is Vicky, and registered as such, but various school teachers tried to call her Victoria, since Vicky (they said) is a shortening. Wrong! Net result, one very irate child,

    Ah man, that sucks. That's another thing, I will also consider all the abbreviations and nick names that could arise from a child's name. I've heard seriously unfortunate ones...

    You can still get caught. My mother wanted to give me the middle name Ieuan, therefore DIM. Bad enough in English, but the word "dim" means "nothing", in Welsh.

    This thread can be high-jacked?
    Wow.
    I've pretty much shredded it then.
    For I have known them all already, known them all:
    Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
    I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
    I know the voices dying with a dying fall
    Beneath the music from a farther room.
    So how should I presume?

    Don't give your kids normal names! I might dislike having my name spelled in weird ways but it's always a conversation starter. "Oh, like the band/Bible/system/make up/whatever?" it shows you what kind of person you're talking to.

    It shows who the person you're talking to is. Sorry about that. The reaction they have to your name is often the way you know if this new friendship is going to work out. If they say your name sounds "daft" you know you have a problem...

    Oh, I get it... Well, I think if someone was as tasteless as that it would only be a matter of mere minutes before you would realise their friendship isn't worth it anyway,without them having to insult your name, hehehe.
