I like knowing first names

[urmaniac13]

I am Licia (other variations Li, Licetta, Feli), short for "Felicia" but please don't call me by the full name... it gives me the same effect as the sound of a chalkboard being scratched when I hear that.... Not that it is an ugly name in general, but it is just so not me, gives me the same feeling as if my wearing a refined business suit, high heels and panty hoses... it is just SO NOT ME...

I really miss my old pet name "Charlie" though... I was always Charlie before I came to Italy. A pet name given when I was small, because I was a kid just like Charlie Brown, a goofy kid for whom everything goes wrong. I had to put it in the backshelf because the Italian folks think it odd, as they believe it is not a name for a girl.... but I feel much more like "Charlie" than (ugh...yuck...)"Felicia"!!!!

And he'd make wonderful inventions using carbon buckyballs (those microscopic, soccer-ball shaped thingys used to make very strong things by experimental physicists).

Only a techie would know such obscure things.

Anyway, my name is Kristin.

Well, Kristin...I just remembered a bizarre name from my childhood. When I was in elementary school, we had a teacher whose name was Dumpy Love Guhy (pronounced "guy"). Of course, being a child, I thought that was the goofiest name in the world. Dumpy WHAT?

Years later when we moved back to my childhood county, I told Buck about her. He thought I was making her name up. Until...he saw her name in the local obituary. Then he took me seriously. What in the H-E-double toothpicks were HER parents thinking?

Hyacinth here! A spring flower in countries that have spring, but a very nasty weed in lakes(with cute flowers though!)! I cringe everytime I tell people from East Africa my name! I also have to make them believe that It really is my name and I am not joking.The weed is damaging the Lake Victoria.

 

[YT2095]

Cool name though, Hyacinth isn`t Too uncommon as a name here in the UK.
although not so much used for the younger generation.

 

[Jikoni]

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention Hyacinth Bucket from 'Keeping up appearances' Oh boy! Funny that despite everything, I like my name...maybe something to do with growing up with it?!

 

[YT2095]

oh dear yes, I rem that program too, if you`ll excuse the forwardness, you`re Considerably better looking than she is

 

[Jikoni]

What do you think YT2095? I don't know any person in real life called Hyacinth.

 

[YT2095]

My friends Wife is called Hyacinth, and I think my wife has a great aunt by that name also, as I said, it`s cool name for a girl, just the same as Violet or Iris or Rose etc...
all flowers

 

[Jikoni]

I like it as a name and It's a lovely sweet smelling flower, We have planted some actually. Even the weed has lovely flowers! just that it hinders navigation amongst other things!

 

[urmaniac13]

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention Hyacinth Bucket from 'Keeping up appearances'

Tsk, tsk, tsk, it is BOUQUET!!

I really think Hyacinth suits you, they are lovely just as you are!! I didn't know they were pesky weeds in Kenya, they should just dig out the bulbs and export them to where they are more welcomed!

Gobo, you misspelled my name! It's Kristin with an "i", not an "e". No worries though, you're still great!

 

[TATTRAT]

TATTRAT=Jonathan...only when I am in trouble. Jon more commonly or Dey by my family.
