Yesterday was take your children to work day, so I rode the shuttle bus from where I have to park into work and there was a woman somewhere behind me with her daughter. I heard another woman say "You look very nice today, what's your name?"

"Alize'"

The woman said "Oh, well thats an unusual name"

No word if she had a brother Hennessy or Courvoisier.

I was going to change my name to Michael Hunt at one time just so I could say "Here!" when "Mike Hunt" was hollered out during roll call.

I always like the old Norse Names.

My friends have names like Stig, Hjalte, Thure, Thorbjorn etc.

I'm stuck with a disciple name.... Urgh.

I think Dutch names are cool. Jaap, Joek, Kees, and more vans than the parking lot at a Grateful Dead concert.

Then you have the wooden shoe-wearing, windmill-dwelling, canal skaters that have normal first names attached to their below sea-level surnames, like: Bill Kuiperstraatenslaggerboot or John van Blauggersloppenbeurman

always liked the name Lydia...

My parents tell me that I was almost a Karen and nearly an Elizabeth. None of the above is what I ended up with. Oh well...

Know why I chose it? I met a dog once that was the most pathetic thing I'd ever seen. She was a rat terrier mix thing was about so big and had thin spikey hair that stuck up all over. She was desperate for attention and would come up and roll over and show you her belly and look at you with the most moistly chocolate eyes I've ever seen. She was great--just precious. Loved that ugly little dog.

ignatz mouse is from the Krazy Kat comic strips by George Herriman, circa early 1900s.

Talarohk is the name of a member of a race of sentient cyborg insects in the depths of my fevered imagination.

I thought my name was strictly a man's name. I did, however, meet a lady doctor named "Travis" last year. I asked her if her dad had wanted a boy and she said no, it was her grandfather's name and her parents thought it fitting to name their first child after him.

She definitely gets the "Boy named Sue" award from me.

One day,I looked in the mirror,smiled and said"How's my Large Filipino doing?" Then I got an Idea. If not for that mirror,I would have just been "Filipino". Thanks,mirror!

My name is supposedly #45 for males, but that would mean there should have been more males in my high school with my name, and out of 1500 I knew of me and one other. Granted namestatistics only has 1219 male names.

answer comes late but the dog's name was Lydia (I didn't name her-not my dog) and I thought it was ironic that such an ugly little dog would have such an elegant and beautiful name. I would've become just Lydia, but it was already taken and had to add a number. 1953 was a very good year.

Pamela is the 37th most common name-there are roughly half a million Pamelas in the US. I grew up with 4 of them in my class at school. My parents thought that it was an uncommon name, but foolies! they were in England in the Air Force when I was born and when they got home, there were lots of folks that had the same thought.
In my next life, I want to be a petite, dark haired, olive skinned woman with a name like Lydia or Alianna.
