fun thread -- names



Recommended Posts

My name is Darcey O'Dell. I've heard it all from Darby O'Dell (like Darby O'Gill and the little people) or Digger O'Dell (as in grave digger). Then there are those who ask if I am any affiliation with O'dell lake (here in Oregon).

Maiden name was Smith...not a lot to go on there.

My maiden name is Rust you would think a simple name like that would not cause problems.....People were always trying to make it fancy by putting accents on it and spelling it differeltly. I always said :it's just good ole Iron oxied, corrosion, the brow/reddish junk on a piece of metal that is left out in the rain.

The probles was my brothers, he has strawberry colored hair and was teased that his name bled through to his hair...

Now my name is Mierow (pronounced like zero with a M insted of a Z) Not much to go no with that one...

How did I miss this thread last month???

My maiden name is Wilson. Not a lot you can do with that one. But I was always teased from BOYS :) about my first name Terri. I was always called TERRIBLE TERRI! Because of the spelling. But my Grandma use to say I was TERRIFIC TERRI!

There was that serial rapist who's last name was 'Luster'

My BIL is a cop and his last name is Bacon :D

My DH's sister is Kim Louise and my real name is 'Kim Louise' and we were both named after Kim Novak, my Dad used to call me Bloss (as in Blossom) and my MIL is known as Bloss because her Dad always called her that, and my Grandpa is Geoffrey Samuel and my nephew (on DH's side) is Samuel Geoffrey. DH figure we were ment to be together :(

My maiden name is Haugh. Pronounced (Haw). You can imagine the different pronounciations teachers, employers, peers and other people come up with. (Hag, Hog, Hugh, Hoe!) I think Hog was the worst because of our family being obese. I remember one Christmas a so called friend gave me hog(pig) ornaments for my CHristmas tree as a junk. That wasn't so bad, but when she made the comment "Well you and your sis are the "Hog" sister!" OH was I ever mad! Needless to say I lost all respect for her that day.

Yeah, But Since I'm Not In School Anymore, I Don't Get It A Lot. My Ex Sister -in-law Was Kristin Carroll. In Know She Got It Because I'm The One Who Called Her That. :D It Sure Does Beat Stinky cheese, Though! Haha

My Maiden name is Liotard (French/Italian) pronounced like "Lie o tard" however everyone pronounces it Leotard....My first name is Hope.... I would get "Leotard reotard...Nice one huh? Hopes a dope, Hope does Dope, and various other Hope jokes. Everyone always asks what is it short for...Its short for nothing, its just HOPE... Now my married name is Thorpe. Yep, if you say it quick enough my first and last names rhyme..Hope Thorpe..(Gotta slur the R a little in the last name...)

My mother is part Indian, Cherokee and the Cherokee people usually have last names of their occupations (from what I understand) Her last name is Skinner....YIKES!!!

My maiden name is Mc Nally & my married name is Mc Coy. Big switch huh? LOL! I had a guy in high school believe that my uncle was Rand Mc Nally. And if someone asks me if I am the real Mc Coy again I think I will scream! LOL! I worked in a doc's office when i was a teenager & there was a pt. named O.B. Massengill - no lie! The office staff drew straws over who would call him back. It was sad. LOL!

This is a great idea and so much fun.

My maiden name is german - Heise - pronounced Hi-C - you know I was teased as a kid

Then my married name was - Spiller - so I became a Hi-C Spiller!! Too funny as I do happen to be in the top ten of clumsy.

Thanks Vines, I love reading all of your responses. You are super!!!

One of the contracts I had a guy named Richard Tickle. He requested his account name be changed to Dick...

But one of the NBC correstpondents is named Mr. Tibbles..... Mr Tibbles is the perfect name for a cat not a war correspondent!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
