oooo lovely thread
i always wanted to change my name but i never knew what to
i have worked in many salons over the years where girls get to change their names due to there already being someone there with the same name and i hoped that one day i would get the chance to have some exotic name for a change instead of my boring name and even though when i started out in hairdressing that there were rediculous amounts of hairdressers with the same name as me the odds should of been in my favour but alas it never happened
i did get close once as there were 2 of us applying for jobs at a salon and i asked if i could be the one to change my name but the other girl didn't take the job in the end although when asked what i wanted to change it to i went blank and couldn't think of a name i liked after all
although the managers suggestion of doris recieved an icy glare lol
a hairdresser called Doris....specialise in blue rinses by any chance? :giggle:
The cleaners have been in, if any one has a problem my pm box is that way.<<
I like my name! and my swinging one for that matter!!
aubrey :giggle: oh the images that conjures up!
My name is Sandy and I quite like it, I always have and wouldnt change it for the world and when I joined SH I was Sandybeach so people still called me by my name without realising it :grin:
I love old names - really old names.
Guineviere, Aelwyn, that kind of thing. Edith and Hilda are in there - really old beautiful names. But now sadly associated with hair-nets and curlers.
I hated my name - my first and middle names shorten to SandyLou. And my Mum would hollar this across public places. I ask you! How could I maintain any kind of front of elegant maturity to a fellow 12 year-old on Scarborough sea-front with that following me?
The names I chose were all random from people i know, and my own is included......not indened to poek fun at peoples names, more to see if anyone would change their names, and if so what would they pick......
for instance would any of the guys choose to be called Vin (Diesel) Vinnie (Jones), Rocky, Tyson or something equally manly, or would they go for their sporting hero, and would women prefer something different to add mystique...something with a foreign accent/spelling, or the name of a pin up girl e.g Marliyn, Jayne, Audrey, Sophia or Bo?
"Will" started off as a cruel piece of teasing at school - but then turned into a term of endearment by my friends and I adopted it and made it my own.
Now, I am only known by my real name at work and by close relatives who insist on still using it.
On the rare occasions that people find out my real name the reaction is usually "Oh no, you're far more like a Will." I agree.
I have had something of a Shakespeare fixation since I was at school (which was part of the original problem), and now I have even come to look like him (see my profile if you don't believe me!).
Will suits me fine. My real name makes me sound as if I should wear tank tops and still live with my mother - and believe me that's a truly terrible thought! :scared:
Will
When I was young my mother used to call me Jesus.
Jesus....what have you done now!!!
I like my name although it does get shortened by most people who talk to me, most will revert back to the full one once I explain that I dont like the Gills and Gilly but some still insist on shortening it.
Muriel - my nannas name and I love it.
