...Oooohhhh Daaaaay-viiiid.

[Oeditpus Rex]

169. Well... yeah...

That does kinda make a difference.

[Arkham House]

[GOPisEvil]

I'm a David as well. I prefer David as it goes better with my last name, but some close friends call me Dave.

[_testify_]

170. A tribute...

[1gobluedem]

20. Are you my grandmother?

Her name was Ruth. But she died 18 years ago. So you probably aren't.

She was pretty cool, though.

Of course I could be my other grandmother. Her name was Mary. But I never met her; she died 7 months before I was born which is why my name is Mary and not Catherine.

[RevCheesehead]

40. Not unless you're furry and meow.

Oh, wait - they were fixed. :D

[ulysses]

31. after you log off at night

does DU become ruthless?

[crim son]

35. May and Elizabeth.

Pretty ancient names, both of them. But Mary is beautiful. Lisa - isn't.

[Beaverhausen]

48. There are lots of Lisas here and we are all wonderful women

I just hate being called "Leese" I'd rather you shorten it to "Lee"

[bertha katzenengel]

140. I'm not Lisa. My name is Julie.

:rofl: at least I crack myself up. (Please tell me you know the song)

I have known many wonderful Lisas. Nicetameetcha. :hi:

[crim son]

148. Nice to meet you too.

The song is "I'm Not Lisa", yes? I've never heard it, but I'm aware of it for some reason. Don't know it well enough to get the Julie reference though.

I've seen your many threads! :hi:

[bertha katzenengel]

155. Hey, sweetie.

It's a maudlin song about a guy who's cheating

I'm not Lisa
my name is Julie
Lisa left you years ago
my eyes are not blue
but mine won't leave you
til the sunlight shines through your face

I don't get it either. :shrug:

[crim son]

157. Oh, it's sad.

Ever done that? Called out the wrong name, or heard it? Awful.

[bertha katzenengel]

160. I had a brand-new girlfriend breathe "Jodie" in my ear as a half-joke

Although I'm MUCH different now, some folks still say they can see a resemblance to Jodie Foster. I myself don't see it at all. But the girlfriend thought it would be cute. I didn't. But I got over it quickly because . . . well, never mind. :blush:

[crim son]

162. LOL!

She has WAYS to make you forget, hmmm?

[bertha katzenengel]

167. Heh. She DID have ways to make me forget.

:blush: But we parted amicably after about six months. Thank God.

About a year later, I met my beloved. :loveya:

[crim son]

171. I'm happy for you!

I'm at the other end of the spectrum - looking at divorce and in love with a married man I can't/won't have. Life is an adventure :think:

[bertha katzenengel]

173. Oh, bless your heart.

It is an adventure. Best wishes in your travels, dear. :pals:

[huskerlaw]

59. Another Lisa

I'm really not fond of my name either. I sometimes go by "L" (like Elle).

[crim son]

64. I tried to go by my christening name for a while - Anne.

But it didn't feel right.

[huskerlaw]

97. haha...Ann is my middle name

I tried adopting it when I was about 6, but my mom made sure it didn't stick.

[crim son]

125. I think the Lisa-Ann/e combination is very common.

My name is Anne Lisa and my best friend growing up was Lisa Anne. We were both called Lisa however. On my dorm floor, there were three Lisas, and two of us were Lisa-Ann/e combinations!

[huskerlaw]

151. I just thank God

I wasn't named Lisa Marie. I would have legally changed my name on my 18th birthday had my parents been that cruel. Uuuugh.

[Beaverhausen]

213. On my dorm floor there were 7 Lisas - this was in 1978

It was crazy! and I thought Sue was common back then...
and yes, I'm Lisa Anne too!

[Guava Jelly]

66. nothing dull about lisa

:)

[crim son]

77. Well, that's because you're a doll.

:hi: Truly.

[Guava Jelly]

102. awwwwwwww shucks i'm gonna get all red faced.

thank's you are a doll also. :)

[miss_american_pie]

88. Not as common and dull as mine

:hi:

[crim son]

126. You're crazy.

Yours is the name I always wished I had. That, or Gwendolyn (my sister), but yours was my first choice.

[miss_american_pie]

128. You're crazy

In high school, not less than three of my name in every freakin' class. You can have it. :D

[crim son]

132. I guess we've had similar experiences, then.

Our names are like our bodies. Often, we don't much like them!

[miss_american_pie]

133. Yeah, you want that too?

not happy with it today either. ;)

[crim son]

138. Laughing. I'd make a complete trade

but something tells me you'd be getting a bad bargain.

[miss_american_pie]

142. Oh I don't know

You know what they say about blondes and fun. ;)

[crim son]

146. Ha! I've recently decided to relinquish fun :)

My daughter's best friend showed up at the party I went to Saturday night, and called her immediately to tell her that her mother was staggering drunk. I wasn't, but I was wearing 6-inch heels for the first time in my life (costume party). It made me think, though, about the choices I've been making recently. It also made me think "Why would a sixteen-year-old boy show up at an adult party where we were all swimming in alcohol?" No answer to that one.

[miss_american_pie]

147. Moms aren't supposed to get drunk?

Ooops.

Yeah, tell me about poor life choices. :sigh: :hug:

[billyskank]

178. I like your name

:hi:

[miss_american_pie]

200. Thank you

I've grown into it, I suppose. :hi:

[ThomCat]

121. Lisa is cool.

It's a common name, but not overused. I've rarely had a class or a job with more than one Lisa.

[crim son]

129. They're mostly around my age... 40 - 45.

Lisa always sounded so bubbly, blonde and bimbo-ish (no offense to any Lisas here) and of course I am kinda bubbly & blonde and am often mistaken for a bimbo :rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

190. That's my sister's name.

Actually, my parents let me name her. I chose it based off a character on "You Can't Do That on Television." That's what happens when you give a little kid the responsibility of naming a sibling. Fortunately, my sister likes the name.

[bridgit]

25. donna...

[achtung_circus]

96. I was supposed to be

Robert Douglas XXX
after my Grandfathers, but my cousin was born first, so he was Bob.

I got to be Douglas Robert XXX.

Better than "Bob".

Doug, to most people, Douglas to my father.

Although, my grandfather's name was Carlos Douglas XXX. His mother named him after a piano teacher in town. Carlos was a very unusual name in 1880's small town Protestant Ontario, so he chose to go by Douglas.

[ThomCat]

124. My father always said that I was going to be

Bartholemew Eugene. And knowing him, that might really be true. My mom argued him into submission and I got my actual name.

130. First time I go to the lounge.... What's your real name?

I'll never be back. How dumb, what's your favorite color????

[Mutley]

136. Thanks, and back-atcha.

:patriot:

[GOPisEvil]

137. Dumb? How about an attempt at being social?

:eyes:

[crim son]

143. We here know one another, to varying degrees.

We talk about children, sickness, politics, partying, love, loss, loneliness, flowers, comics, polar bears, cats, dogs, death... you name it. You're the one who clicked on the name thread. You don't care because you don't care about anybody here. Stick around and the process might have meaning. Or don't.

[bertha katzenengel]

144. Your loss, panader0.

:eyes:

[xmas74]

210. It's probably because most of us here feel that we know each

other very well. Quite a few of us know each other outside of the boards.

The name threads can be nice because we have so many baby name threads on the boards. It gives some posters options on different kinds of names.

If you don't like a thread don't post in it. Why post with the express purpose of being rude on something that is very lighthearted and isn't hurting anyone?

[Jamastiene]

225. Black, and nice to meet you too, Matilda Magilicuddy.

Or is that Ebenezzer Scrooge? Lighten up. Nobody forced you to post here or click on this link. Go back to GD and snark at them if that's how you are gonna be about things. :P

[bertha katzenengel]

134. Kim. I prefer Bertha.

but friends call me Missy.

[riderinthestorm]

154. Jenny nt

[tinfoil tiaras]

158. Bronwyn

[Generic Brad]

163. Generic

[TK421]

164. Mark

[KamaAina]

220. I guess that makes me "Mark II".

[ghostsofgiants]

185. Jonathan...or Jon if you're into the whole brevity thing.

[BulletproofLandshark]

186. Ian

Pronounced like Brian. Since everybody pronounces that name the other way, it's been a source of great aggravation to correct everyone all my life.

[Kali]

215. I know the feeling.

187. left

[bicentennial_baby]

[Rob H.]

201. I'll give you three guesses...

and the first two don't count. :P

[tenshi816]

202. Debra.

I've never liked it solely because the way my mother used to say it meant I was in trouble. If she said "Debra Ann", then I knew I was in big trouble.

[Joe Fields]

204. Martha

Contrary1 is compliments of my dad, who described me as such.
Miss you every day, Pop. :hi:
