Don't worry Shannon, I hate my name too.
When I was little, I ((apparently)) looked like Michelle on Full House ((Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen)) so my parents were going to name me that.
Instead, they made Michelle my middle name.

Lauren Michelle...yuck. :p;):p

I don't see the resemblance...but hey, who knows. ;)
Besides, I'm way cuter!! ;):p

My name is Shanna.


Which rhymes with "banana" ... of which I heard a lot of in grade school. ;)

My name is not, however, any version of the following: Sheena, Shana, Shawna, Shauna, or Shannon ... all of which I get called on a regular basis.

This never ceases to amaze me as my name is phonetically correct ... Shan-na. Pretty simple. I guess phonics doesn't get taught in schools anymore? :confused:

My name is not, however, Natasha, as most people seem to assume it is.

02-24-2004, 04:59 AM
My name is Kathrine (yes I know it's spelled wrong.) Most people call me Katie, Katers, Kates, Kate, or Kat.


My real name is Dawn. I hate the name but what can you do?

I don't see why you hate your name. I have 2 uncles, an aunt, and a cousin with that name. Of course the guys are spelled differantly. I still can't pronounce the male version of Don. It always comes out as Dawn, so are family has learned that I mean one of them. Oh and all the Dawns, and Dons are all on my dad's side of the family. So when there is a family get-to-gether, it's even harder to figure out which one I am talking to. ;)

My grandpa's ex-wife believed that names could change your child's personality, and her kids were having some major problems, so when they were young (I believe they were 4 and 6) they got to pick their own names out of a list of names. Apparently it worked lol.

Thank you.

My mom and dad couldn't agree on a name for me, and they were still arguing about it days before my birth. My dad wanted to name me Kizzie. (I'm NOT kidding!) Can you imagine!? Thank you, Mom, for putting your foot down on THAT one!!!

My mom had gotten a box of apples from the grocery store. Yes, back in the dinosaur age, when you got fruit in wooden boxes or baskets. The label on the box said "Shanna Apples", and my mom said, "Ok, how about Shanna?" My dad said, "Fine. Whatever."

And that is how I came to be named after a brand of apples. :D

amoore
02-24-2004, 10:28 PM

I feel your pain.

Picture it, 1967 and my parents are trying to think of a name for a boy or a girl. Mom suggests that they try to think of one name that would work for a boy or a girl. My sister, who was then 7 years old says, "What about Mickey?" Her favorite show was The Monkees so yes, I am named after a Monkee. Mickey Dolenz.

Hey, hey, I'm a Monkee. People say I Monkee around. I'm to busy singing, to put anybody down. :rolleyes: :p :D

amoore
02-24-2004, 11:18 PM
