Real Names

[DoggiesAreTheBest]

My real name is Souraya. Pronounced like Mariah (or at least that is how it is pronounced in English). My name is Arabic (translates to brilliant stars) If you were to say it in Arabic, you would have to roll the "r" and stress the "y."

That name is beautiful! Does anyone believe that what you were named can influence how you turn out in life? I do.

My name is Jessica, but most close friends/family call me Jess.

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.

I love your name! It is a very pretty name! Wish my parents had come up with one that pretty for me!

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.

[amoore]

Shanna, I am glad You got your name. Kizzie is kind of cute. But I like Shanna better.

"Your the good apple"

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.

Rhiannon, That is a beautiful name. I love that song also!

Miss meow, Your a funny girl! Granny smith apples! LOL!

I think Micki Is a pretty name. He was my favorite monkee too! I like your sweet funny personality. Maybe that is why you have such a good nature!

Micki you are only three years older than my daughter!
