Nowadays unique names are in. but when I was growing up (late 50's to early 70's) my name was considerd weird. I still don't really like it, but I don't like Martha much better. My DD says since I am so Crafty and domestic that I am living up to my Martha ( as in Stewart) name. LOL.
My name is Christina Elizabeth after both my GMs... but will never answer to Tina! I hated that nickname from the first time I heard it. Generally I'm called Chris. Growing up my sister and I shared the same nickname of Loosh (for our last name of Lucier). Nowadays I jokingly call her LooshChange because she's always worked in a bank and she calls me LooshThreads because of all the threads she find clinging to my clothes.
