When you were little, did you wish your name was different?

[Shell Beau]

If so, what did you want it to be? I always wanted my name to be Katherine! Not anymore, but I used to love that name.

[HEyHEY]

[Shell Beau]

4. Zues? Is that the same as Zeuss?

[HEyHEY]

7. How should I know? I was a kid

[Shell Beau]

[tk2kewl]

3. I wanted to be Jack

[Richardo]

5. I got my wish...

From birth thru Kindergarten I was known as "Dick" or.... "Dickie". :(

When I was getting ready to go to 1st grade my parents asked me if I wanted to be known as 'Dick' or 'Richard'. I had NO idea my name was really Richard, so I took the new name. How exciting!! A new name for a new school!! What kid wouldn't want that?

BTW: At that time, I had NO idea of the anatomical meaning of 'Dick'. I'm really glad my folks gave me that choice.

6. Good move

You must have great intuition.

[Shell Beau]

8. Yeah! I guess now you are glad.

I have never understood how Dick was short for Richard!

[HeeBGBz]

9. Yes, my name is Jeanne

It sounded so bland. I wanted something exotic. Like Michelle, or something.

[Solly Mack]

10. I just wanted people to pronounce it correctly

other than that, I liked my name

[motely36]

11. When I was younger the motely part didn't bother me

but I had to grow into the 36.
