I've been called different ...I love Bobbie Ann! I've been called different names down through my life. My father in law used to call me Jam Up. I don't know why. I had a friend who used to call me Janie. I have a cousin named Joy. A few years ago at our family reunion, she handed me their 'family tree' info that I had requested. She saw me looking at it kinda funny. She said I bet you didn't know my name was Laura Frances, did you? I sure didn't, she'd always been Joy to me.Seems Joy was the name her dad had given her when she was little and it stuck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703409033829423952.post-85639476746137281992012-10-03T09:58:33.211-04:002012-10-03T09:58:33.211-04:00I love the name Bobbie Ann!

I have a friend who was Suzy all through high school and college but now, she signs all letters, cards, and emails "Suzanne." And another friend who we called Marcie all through college now calls herself, "Marcelle." I definitely think you're on to something with this name thing, Bobbie:)writingdianethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05955424888288307481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703409033829423952.post-80093686442197034542012-10-02T21:52:45.104-04:002012-10-02T21:52:45.104-04:00Does that mean I can't call you Barb anymore? ...Does that mean I can't call you Barb anymore? I think names are how we first see people or know people. To me, you're Barb. I don't think I could ever see you as a Bobbie. Is that okay?<br /> My name is Elizabeth, after my grandmother, but because my mother didn't want me to be a Lizzy, my family always called me Betty. Then, when I moved in fourth grade, I wanted to be introduced as Elizabeth in school, so all my school friends eventually called me Lizzy after all, which is now Liz. I love both names, one is childhood and family; the other is the me that I defined. I just have to remember who I'm sending a card to at Christmas and sign it the right way!Elizabeth Vollstadthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392870109547345303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703409033829423952.post-9282411810934606432012-10-01T19:08:27.334-04:002012-10-01T19:08:27.334-04:00My father always called me Terra-bell.

My mother sometimes called me Suzabelle, and I kinda grumbled about it, but I secretly loved it. My hubby used to call me Hot Rod, and I think that's my all-time favorite nickname.

SO many roles to fill. Somehow now at this age I just want to become who I'm meant to be, whatever the name. I guess in the end we go back to the beginning. Bobbie feels right. Blessings. B.

When I filled out my employment papers for the government there was a statement at the bottom that said, 25 years in prison or/and $25000 fine for not telling the truth. Then I became Sheila Gail again but shall always be called Gail.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.com
