My son would have been a J...Wow, lots of comments!<br /><br />My son would have been a Jamie had he been a girl. But nope, he's Christopher. Not after his dad, either--I just loved the name. <br /><br />TRAVIS for a girl??? That's a new one for me!<br /><br />I'm glad to hear so many of you like your names. It would suck if you didn't huh?<br /><br />Camille, in the words of Neil Young, "You are like a hurricane." Hurricane Camille was a monster!<br /><br />Mellodee, I'd better watch it--I don't want to insult any Linda Lou's out there. But I'm glad you agree. "De-de-DING-DING-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!"<br /><br />Cherilyn is MUCH cooler sounding than Cheryl. I'm with you on that.<br /><br />Thanks to all for weighing in!Vegas Linda Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653067016683159930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-68399333913289497282011-09-28T00:10:51.895-07:002011-09-28T00:10:51.895-07:00I was named after my Dad...James...so I am a Jamie...I was named after my Dad...James...so I am a Jamie.

Now I'm fine with my name--though, hello could I be more Italian? Gina DiSarro? No hiding my heritage (well, my dad's anyway--my mom is a WASPy mutt). Plus, my name means queen (ironically, in college one of my many nicknames was G-queen) and I'm ok with that. ;)Ginahttp://somuchasaword.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-87165132082186212302011-09-27T20:09:04.065-07:002011-09-27T20:09:04.065-07:00I love my name!

I'm her first born, so she gave me her original name. It's very special to me and I wouldn't change it for the world. I've actually just met another Camille, and boy was that weird. I'm not used to knowing or hearing my name unless someone is talking to me! Camille was not a good kids name though...I had to grow into it... When I was a kid everyone had the name "Stacey". Glad I have such an original sounding name. It suits me perfectly!Camille S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-71230745756446581872011-09-27T12:59:33.802-07:002011-09-27T12:59:33.802-07:00This is really weird but I never felt like a Debbi...This is really weird but I never felt like a Debbie. I have no middle name ... actually I do, my mother gave me her maiden name so my middle name is Salcido (ugh) ... My dad named me Deborah, after actresses Debra Pagett and Deborah Kerr. My mom wanted to name me Vivian but my dad thought that was a "whore's name" ... okay daddy, who was the whore named vivian in your life????<br />Because you're Linda "Lou" I had a suspicion that your ex must have been Chinese.

I've never wanted to be named anything else.<br /><br />I like all the nicknames I can be called! But, I've gone by Liz my entire life (Elizabeth seems too formal). I do get called Lizzie quite often. Man, I HATED that as a kid. I love it now!<br /><br />I was born in the late 60s and Elizabeth was NOT a popular name when I grew up. In high school and college I only know one other (and she went by Libby). I kind of liked that. It's a name that's becoming much more popular again though.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17846082820004153424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-87466376076217423232011-09-27T10:00:03.550-07:002011-09-27T10:00:03.550-07:00I know we had this discussion when we met last Mar...I know we had this discussion when we met last March. I always thought my name was too blunt "Linda Schmidt" as both my sisters had more melodic names (along with nicknames) but liked it better after I married. But, since I am a little older than most other Linda's, I just go along with everyone thinking my mother was one of the crowd, assuming I'm a few years younger than I actually am. Just a note, my sister is Kristine with a "K". I named my daughter "Dawn" thinking it was real original only to find when she started kindergarten, there were 4 others in her class.elbee309https://www.blogger.com/profile/15698321462572638396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-79499535230653116482011-09-27T09:27:03.250-07:002011-09-27T09:27:03.250-07:00I don't know if I particularly like or dislike...I don't know if I particularly like or dislike being named Linda, it's a pretty innocuous name. However, my YANKEE mother and father gave their little darling a <br />"goddamn hillbilly" middle name! Yes, I am "Linda Lou." For real! I was born in Chicago, for heaven's sake! For years (and I mean like 40!!) I refused to tell anyone my middle name I hated it so much. I have finally gotten used to it (at age 65!), but I still feel like I should be walking around barefoot in a calico dress while somebody is pickin' that song from "Deliverance" on a banjo. Gee thanks, mom and dad! :)Mellodeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07515414035373189099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-86898489605260505542011-09-27T08:37:47.002-07:002011-09-27T08:37:47.002-07:00Do you think the #2 Billboard song "Donna&quo...Do you think the #2 Billboard song "Donna" written by Ritchie Valens in 1958 (the same year I was born) had anything to do with my being named "Donna"?

In my tiny class in my small hometown, out of about 25 kids we had 3 Susans and to differentiate between them one was called Susan, one Susie, and one Sue, ha! I'm a "Kristine with a K" I always have to say, very quickly, before any one starts writing down my name. I was named after a Swedish great-grandma. I think there are a lot of Krista's, Krissy's, Kristal's, etc., but it isn't often I come across another Kristine-with-a-K even to this day.MissKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726021829363492972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-75425896829323688032011-09-27T01:53:54.559-07:002011-09-27T01:53:54.559-07:00I like Linda.

I don't think I ever knew a Linda like that.<br /><br />My name? Jamie. In 1960 that was really unusual....unless you were a male. I am positive my parents thought I was a boy, and were naming me after my dad. So -- when I popped out, they went ahead with their plans. But I know my mom wanted boys, my older sis's name is TRAVIS...what does that tell you?<br /><br />Happy Tuesday. :)Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18085622205448586156noreply@blogger.com
