My name is Alexis Ann. I never thought much of my name, never got tease for it either - but mostly because I was homeschooled I think. Everyone's always called me Lexie (a variety of spellings) or Lex. One or two have called me Alex or Alexandria (which I didn't like).

My dad took to calling me Lulu sometimes when my little sister was young and couldn't say my name - she'd call me Lulu and it kinda stuck for my dad. It makes me feel special when he calls me that, I don't know why!

And finally, my maiden name is 'Boellner' which was ALWAYS pronounced wrong. It's actually pronounced 'bell-ner' as the o is silent. I constantly had to correct people who thought it was 'bowlner.' :P

But when I got married that all changed. Hunter is a nice, easily pronouncable last name.

Although Alexis Hunter kinda sounds like a teacher's name to me. :P
