What is your "real" name.

My real name is Karron. It's the Swedish pronunciation of Karen. It's pronounced like "car". People rarely remember how to pronounce it and have spent my life being called, Karen, Sharon, Carmen, Caroon, Karn, Corona, Karone. I always wished I had a name people could pronounce and remember. I think your name has a lot to do with how you feel about yourself.

mrscarrdero's real name is Rizza but other people have trouble remembering it too. Rizzo, Reeza, Ritzo and even Pizza (for those that use this analogy to remember Rizza). are just some of the ways other people have mispronounced it. I always found it inappropriate for her and I am looking into getting it changed. The name Rizza Cardero does not exactly roll off the tongue.

Name on my birth certificate, "Margaret". Name most people call me by, "Meggie".
Me too! :p Although I get called "Meg" by the majority (my Auntie Gail used to call me "Meggie" when I was a kid, and Auntie Marie called me "Maggie"). It used to always annoy me when people would assume that "Meg" was short for "Megan", and call me that. :banghead3 I had a substitute History teacher in high school who repeatedly called me Megan, despite me telling him every time that that wasn't my name. :sarcastic He stopped when I started calling him by a name other than his own. :162:

Some nicknames I've had over the years:

Spider
Maggot
Megalooch
Meganeen (always thought that sounded exotic)
Mog
Mug
Smeg
Iggy
Mega

I get called "Mega" at work mostly...that's probably the only nickname I have now.

My real name is Brandy. When I was younger I used to pronounce it Dandy so now my 14 year old niece calls me that.

I am also known as Mommy, Honey, Dear, Babe, Brigid, BrigidSnowOwl, and FyreBrigidIce, and recently been dubbed the cute name of FBI( thanks SoulType, sincerely)

I have also been called the regular derrogatory names that females are called. However, I don't get offended by them because I have turned them into happier names using each letter.

My real name is Lauren. Nothing too interesting about that :) When I was 6, I renamed myself Kristy for a few months. I even had a name bracelet and signed all my artwork "Kristy."

Aaww, Lintu that's so cute!

My name's Abby. My birth certificate says 'Abigail', but if you ever call me that I'll give you a cyber punch in the face. One of my biggest pet peeves is people spelling my name wrong, such as Abbie, Abbey, Abbi, whatever. Lol, just don't do it.

Nicknames? Lets see here...The girls I train with out at the barn call me Ax. I'd like to say that that's because I 'ax' the competition, but really it's just because that's what my initials sound like when you try to pronounce them as a word. :) As we all do, I went through a pudgy stage when I was little. My Grandpa lovingly dubbed me 'Fatty Abby', and the name's stubbornly stuck ever since. My friend Megan calls me Abbica, and my friend Erin calls me Abarella. Special people are allowed to call me Ab or Abs.

My first name is "Phillips" which comes from a Greek name that means "lover of horses."

Actually, my birth cerificate says, "Phillip s", with a space between the Phillip and the s. The story is that my uncle was numerologist. When he found out that my mother and father intended to name me Phillip, he begged them to change it to Phillips because that added up to a better name by his calculations. My mother and father didn't quite buy into numerology, but in order to humor my uncle, they added the s -- but only after leaving a space. Sort of like to say that it was an afterthought, I guess.

I don't mind younger guys, but not EXTREMELY younger. However, I don't DATE younger guys, they're just fun to play around with. ;)
Im so glad my girlfriend disagrees with you on this one C1 :)

My real name is Rupert... that together with a double barreled surname gives me so much flak at school I can tell you. I was literally rejoicing the day a kid called Benedict Butterworth joined our class.

Nicknames include mummy, poppet and Fluffy.

That's what I think Kate. It's the whole possibilty of being able to corrupt the pure, innocent little school girl. Had a boyfriend once who LOVED that whole outfit. (Which is why I own one)
actually most catholic school girls only look pure and innocent...most are very much the opposite.
