My name is so freaking simple yet everyone get it wrong…

They call me eve, ava, av.
They ask me what it’s short for.
They make it Evelyn
They call me everything except ev…two letters…short e and a freaking v.

Now is that so difficult? No. But no one ever wants to just say ev.

why? I do not know.

ok…this is my first time here so, i’m going to leave an air of mystery about me…
ok…done with the air of mystery…my sister had a nickname for me and, unfortunately, it stuck…missypissy…and pissy is NOT my name! also, there is the ever so pleasant messy missy…messy is NOT my name. and, actually, missy isn’t my name anymore, either. not since i’ve become a very mature grown up type person!

Oh God – the bad memories you brought back! When I was growing up I got Pagan Megan, Maggot, Faggy Maggie and an entire plethora of derogatory names. How sad it was to equated with a small slimy fly-to-be. I think I like the one my girls call me – Marmie – compliments of the Anne of Green Gables books.

Most of the names people call me aren’t fit to print. “Kristina Bidina” was a common name – I don’t even know what that means. My Husband went by “Dickey” until he was in 8th grade. Ouch.

I am a Daniel, and I was often called “Daniel the Spaniel”. Oh, how amusing.

I also knew whenever Karate Kid had been on TV because everyone would be calling me Daniel-san the next day. Again, how amusing.

I work with a lady who’s last name is Donato

Oh, golly. You’re going to make me do this, aren’t you?

Okay, my nickname was Ape. Not because I was a hairy beast. My real name is April. Hence the shortened version. Avery is my pen name.

As a kid, I was called T.J., Teen Jean and Punk by various family members and neighbors.

As an adult, the nickname that sticks is “Dewey,” which comes from my godson. He couldn’t say Terri and it always came out Dewey. So at family functions, I respond quite readily to “Dewey.”
