He was Coughlin baby for three days, poor kid. PS Helped my daughter write a paper last year, her final English paper, she got a 67 and she was pissed. Says I did it on purpose so I didn't have to help her anymore. As If!jdsanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04658357606303732115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589253886068784629.post-69203042875897651512009-10-30T10:03:55.515-07:002009-10-30T10:03:55.515-07:00Ha; this was a funny post.

I had the perfect name for it and then yesterday found out there's apparently a brand new tv show by the same name. *Sigh*. At any rate, I've been doing the same soul-searching for another, right name. It's annoying.L. T.

I wanted T...LOL. Ahh... the wisdom of Seinfeld. <br /><br />I wanted T's name to be Jack, but the Husband nixed that. (Pirates of the Caribbean came out about four months later. For the record, getting ANYTHING in Disneyland with the word "Sparrow" on it is difficult. Apparently my last name is copyrighted per the staff of Disneyland. With my driver's license, I was able to get things printed with my name on it. I may be one of the few people who was carded in the Mad Hatter hat shop.) I also liked the name Seth... until the Husband had me say it out loud with our last name. Poor child would have sounded like he had a perpetual lisp. It turns out that no "nouns" can be used with our last name or it becomes a cartoon name... and requires the middle name "the." Actually, adjectives are off limits too.Wendy Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06240583852940769313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589253886068784629.post-24227085987775301952009-10-29T22:14:54.640-07:002009-10-29T22:14:54.640-07:00George's boss gave everyone a nickname, based ...George's boss gave everyone a nickname, based on some quirk. He was afraid of what his nickname would be, so during a lunch meeting he ordered a T-bone, in the hopes that would become his nickname. Unfortunately George inspired someone else to order a T-bone and that person became T-bone. George pulled the guy into the hallway, and yelled at him in such an animated fashion, the boss, watching through a window, thought George looked like Coco, the sign language gorilla.<br /><br />You asked.<br /><br />I think my parents used the old, washed up, I didn't look like a Chris excuse. I suspect, at three days old, I didn't look much like a human either.MC Howehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135224394821535801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589253886068784629.post-91474308586906539912009-10-29T21:50:46.454-07:002009-10-29T21:50:46.454-07:00I've never considered Dee--nor has anyone else...I've never considered Dee--nor has anyone else for that matter. We're very one-track minded and keep acknowledging that Wen would make a stupid nickname. :) For some reason, Dee sounds like the name for a waitress. <br /><br />I've got Beth Somath listed as the author name for my Dystopian. I keep trying to name characters Beth in all my books and my family keeps pointing out the repeats. When I started the Dystopian, I just decided to quit pretending I don't have some strange psychotic fascination with the name. Anyway, that's my top choice for a Pseudonym. Although, I might flip Somath inside out again so it's Thomas. (It was a bizarre wild hare idea of the middle of the night, and I won't guarantee it wasn't the result of not enough medication... if you know what I mean... wink wink.)Wendy Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06240583852940769313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589253886068784629.post-35936813808016834462009-10-29T21:40:31.188-07:002009-10-29T21:40:31.188-07:00I am now calling you Beth.

They are so important. My father made sure I had several. Now...sadly...I have none. I'm like you. Wishing for something I will never have.<br /><br />Good luck with Tara.

I'll need to see some data there, Chris... I mean Matt. I mean, statistically, it makes sense that we've all got the wrong names--one name vs. how many million possibilities, but that also is based on the assumption that there are right names. I just don't think that's a defensible position. <br /><br />My right name is Beth, for the record.<br /><br />So, what convinced your parents that Chris wasn't the way to go, if you don't mind me asking?Wendy Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06240583852940769313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589253886068784629.post-29999656974375162012009-10-29T19:06:27.526-07:002009-10-29T19:06:27.526-07:00Hey!

I was Chris for three days, but my parents changed it. I've been having an identity crises ever since. <br /><br />Be careful with nicknames. Remember what happened to George Costanza?
