I get what you mean, Laura, and I definitely don't feel like a 'Barry'. 'Baz' feels a lot better though, and there's a reason I didn't start swatting at people when I was dubbed 'Neko' too! But what's "a Barry"   We could do a "what's in a name" thread if you like, though it might turn exceptionally cruel quite quickly?! A 'Barry' is a moustached man from Rotherham. |

Yeah, that's cool. With the Y not I as well? I just mention cos I knew a guy at school called Justyn and because he always had to explain the spelling, people would mock him... Still there's not a lot you can do about kids, they'll always find something! Then you just have to face them down, and satisfy yourself with the thought they'll end up in the gutter... oooh, maybe personalising things there?! ;D Do you ever feel like you're not like your name? I don't feel like a Laura. i've felt a few lauras in my day, could test for you |

Not sure which name would suit me better but if I say my name in my head it doesn't feel like I'm thinking about me. I know that sounds odd. Aww bless, does sound a little odd... would a hug help? Hugs always make me feel better... what with being a girl! |

Very muchly correct! Well done that man!  So, yeah, like I say, nice name - and crucially about 1,000,000 times better than "Cherie" ;D Especially given the 'association' factor. I mean, when I hear 'Sakura', the only experience I have of that name is from anime - one's a kick-arse ninja, one's a fun-loving princess and one's a spirited young girl who saves the world - not bad at all. 'Cherie' on the other hand?  Enough said |

I quite like the name Eryn Yeah, that's cool. With the Y not I as well? I just mention cos I knew a guy at school called Justyn and because he always had to explain the spelling, people would mock him... Still there's not a lot you can do about kids, they'll always find something! Then you just have to face them down, and satisfy yourself with the thought they'll end up in the gutter... oooh, maybe personalising things there?! ;D Yeah with a Y it looks better I feel |

Yeah with a Y it looks better I feel That's cool. "Eris" is Greek for Wrath... but I think Erin/Eryn is a Celtic name, so probably nowt to do with the Wrath thing. It does make you think about the Greeks - why would you name your son "Lover of Horses" (Philip) ;D |
