Kevin's Watch

Mortice Root wrote:I rarely get called by my first name, which is Jeremy. Most people just shorten it to Jer, which is fine. But in recent years, like SBG mentioned, I get daddy a lot, from both my son and wife. The funny thing is, she frequently calls me daddy now, even when the little one isn't around.

I find myself calling Malik daddy or dad even when the kids aren't around. Glad I am not the only one who does that. He doesn't call me mom ever. Isn't that funny? I bet you don't call your wife mom either, right?

Oh...Hyperception is Daddy, to both Beorn and myself.
On occasion Hyperception will refer to me as Mom.
But most often it is when there is a difference in parenting styles and he says to Beorn, "tell Mom..."

I really really hate formalities...my name tag for clinicals has my full name on it...everytime someone calls me "Robert"...i quickly correct them.

Am I the only one who didn't tell her name? I guess I can't see any harm in it. . . I'm Alexandra, almost everyone shortens it to Alex, I kinda prefer Alexa, and I'll always answer to Lyr.


But it is funny how you can feel a name (given or a nickname) either suits you or doesn't.

No...Stone has not been forthcoming publicly either.
I don't think thefirst has given her first name either, just her middle name, and she spoilered that.

You shouldn't feel pressured to say what it is ~Lyr. That's something each Watcher should decide for themselves. From when I first joined, my signature had "Pam" on the first line; I only recently deleted it as the signature size guidelines were put in place. It's still in my signature over at the Hangar.

Well, I sign my name in PMs, so anyone who has ever had a PM from me knows already. And earlier in the thread when Xar said that women named Alexandra were bad for his family, I remarked that I couldn't possibly be good for him then. As I said, it isn't a secret.

But I will keep the rest of my name to myself.

i am dennis roy wood.

dennis was a grandmother's... ummm. boyfriend.

roy was my the middle name of my father and his father.

My parents nearly named me Melissa. One of my great-uncles, who does not know that I was nearly named Melissa, calls me Melissa almost every time we meet. My third grade teacher called me Missy (which I'm pretty sure is a nickname for Melissa, and not Michelle) without my permission. When people forget my name, which happens fairly often, 90% of them call me Melissa. I have never felt like a Melissa, and each time somebody calls me Melissa I like the name less.

a friend's grandmother always called me kevin. my brother's name. although she had never met him or heard of him.

At least Kevin sounds similar to Dennis.

in a very random sort of way.

On the original version of my birth certificate my first name was Blair. That was changed after about 6 hours, for which I'm eternally grateful to my father for. The only Blair I knew growing up was the character (female) from the Facts Of Life tv show - it wouldn't have been fun growing up with a "girl's name" - as I would have percieved it then.

for almost two years i brought home two tuna/cheese/tomato sandwiches from the hotel. and warm gingerale. i was poor and that is what i ate pretty much every night.

My oldest is Alexandra and goes by Alex. Groovy.

Well its always nice to have one or two guitars around. Kind of like those homes where there is a piano sitting in the living room and no one in the house has any idea why they bought it.

I am perhaps the oldest vaulter in this world who still takes part in competitions with team and individual
(vautling means doing gymnastics and acrobatik on gallopping horses)

I was born in the UK but moved to the US to live four years ago.

There's not as much rain in Texas.

Hmm, maybe I should move to the UK. I love rain!
