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...

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!

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!!!

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

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
