They suck when you are young. It makes you easy to google. It also helps when there is at least one semi-famous person with your same name -- even actors on sci-fi series can count (X-Files). It also helps when people are taught that there are, in fact, two ways to pronounce letters -- the hard, like "grape", AND the soft, like "giraffe".<br /><br />My parents did a pretty good job with my name, and I am thankful for it. It isn't made up either -- it is actually a traditional Scotch-Irish name. Unfortunately, we have lots of special parents in this world who name kids ridiculously -- my friend who is a nurse said she once cared for a newborn in the hospital named "La-A", pronounced "La-dash-a"...seriously?!?!?! Poor kid.<br /><br />And honestly, I love almost all the crazy nicknames people have come up for me, with ONE exception: my name is NOT Gill. That is the hard "g" that is not part of my name. Nor is my name Jill. There is no J in my name. "G", "Gilly", whatever is fine but please remember the soft "g".<br /><br />Thanks for the inspiration to rant :)Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07360821143963346074noreply@blogger.com
