I only get Elizabeth if I'm in trouble with the IRS:):):)

My hubby goes by his middle name. When someone calls here and asks for him by his first name, I get a very serious tone of voice and ask "may I ask who's calling please??"". Usually no biggy, sooooooooooo far!

That's sweet!

Where I worked for 35 years my clients used to call me MsCyndi and it stuck. Now all my friends call me MsCyndi. I love reading everyones stories. Thank you.

Mine is a combination of my little dog Pippa,
and the year I was born.

My real name is Christine, but my mother often used the European version ... as in ...

Mom walks into living room and notices a huge splotch of orange paint all over the new blue floral sofa slipcovers she just made.
"Krystyna, Krystyna. What is this? Well, that IS a lovely painting of a pumpkin you've made."

Mom walks into my bedroom and sees me hard at work on one of her old skirts, snipping away with scissors in hand.
"Krystyna, Krystyna! My goodness! Isn't that a fancy hula skirt you've made."

Mom passes by the hall closet and notices a sign I enthusiastically made to remind me of the schedule for my soon-to-start violin lessons. It is affixed with to the lovely oak door with glue meant to repair shoes and has a fancy leather frame made from my father's old belts.
"Krystyna, Krystyna! Oh! Oh ... Well, now no one will forget your lessons for a long time. Oh. Oh, my."

So, in keeping with my quilting qualities ... I decided to use the ID Krystyna. Mom passed away many years ago, but with each quilt I finish, I can hear her say ...

"Krystyna, Krystyna. Oh my. What have you made here ..."

My name is Heather. I have had the pen name of Annya since I was in 9th grade high school. I have used it ever since for different times and things like writing stories etc.

I use cctx. because I live in Corpus Christi, Texas and it reflects my name.
Great story too, thanks for sharing this.

Great story. I have no imagination when picking names and couldn't think of a cute catchy one, so used my first name.

My husband always referred to me as kid as a pet name; didn't mind it to much when I was younger. But as I got older I didn't like it. So when he called me that one day, I sarcastically said Kid Me? Not! and the 43 was how old I was at the time. Now that I have gotten a little older I don't mind the Kid part as a knick name not as a pet name.

Mine is a nickname for Maureen
