I've never had much of an issue with my first name, but in grade school I played around with the spelling a lot.


My last name is hyphenated though, (mom's and dad's last names together) and I have been considering condensing it to something smaller. I want to respect what they did by giving me both last names, so I'm thinking I'll just take a syllable from each and combine them to make one name. Having a bit of trouble settling on a combo I like though. hmmm

My first name is Irene, when I was growing up, no one my age was ever named Irene. It always seemed like it was someone's grandmother's name or someone's dead great aunt, was named Irene. Never mind the fact the old lady from the beverly hillbillies real name was Irene. rolleyes
I wanted something american and cool, like Kimberly. I loved the name Kimberly growing up. mushy sigh

my rugrat was gonna be kyle james, it was a just in case name if we had a boy we were told we were having a girl...
we had a boy...and called him benjamin lol


my first one got the name I'd chosen for my kids (I'd picked out Oscar and Mia - since I was going to have one of each lol )

the next one got Walter (on a whim - we were in a shoe shop in Morón, Buenos Aires and there was a poster of a soccer player, Walter something shrug

the last one was named by his 2 older brothers as they were watching Max and Ruby on telly lol

If I'd had a girl she would have been Shamila, that was the dream name I would have embroidered onto a cushion if I'd been like Charlotte on SATC.


Correction, my dear Charlotte. Charlotte from sex and the city's baby name was suppose to be, "Shayla" geek

how do you pronounce your first name correctly? confuse


The "J" is prounced like "y". So, "Yari" I guess, but the "r" there is of course different than in English. Whilst the Swedish and Finnish ways to pronounce that letter aren't identical either, the Swedish way to say it would be still a whole lot closer to the Finnish one than the English.

I always thought if I ever became a famous writer, I would change my name. My given name is Kristi Nicola Dyes and I wanted to change it to
Nicki Christian-Day (not sure where that hyphenated stuff came from, I guess I was just trying to be different).

When I told my uncle this he said that my name (first and last) was already unique and easy to remember. He was right. I did, however, go by K. Nicola Dyes in my byline when I was a reporter.
