My mom wanted to name me "Bronwyn." My dad wanted to name me "Wendy."

[LaraMN]

Had they compromised, I might have been named


I can't wait until school starts. Thinking hurts.

[AllegroRondo]

1. I like Bronwyn

that was one of the names we considered for my daughter.

[LaraMN]

3. It's unique. I've only ever encountered one person with that name.

I'd have hated it as a kid, though.

[AllegroRondo]

13. Theres a pastry chef on the Food Network with that name

Shes a regular on the Cake Decorating Challenge shows.

[LaraMN]

15. I've seen her!

Yes!

Food Network is ALWAYS on, here. My husband is borderline obsessed with it.

[AllegroRondo]

17. Im addicted

If it werent for baseball, the TV would be locked on Food Network.

At least my wife says I look like Alton Brown.... :)

[LostinVA]

23. My French teacher in HS was named that

[LostinVA]

22. Me too

[MissMillie]

2. Well, my mother named me Mary

the problem is that she named my twin sister Mary too.

(you can imagine the headaches involved with this one...)

[LaraMN]

4. Nooo!

I can barely remember my (distinctly different) kids' names!

You must have had different middle names...

[MissMillie]

9. yep

unfortunately the credit bureau thinks the middle initial thing must be typo.

It has actually happened that when I registered to vote after moving, she was removed from her voter registration in her town.

it's nuts

[Gormy Cuss]

25. Holy mother of God!

To use an exclamation that seems appropriate here.

[liberaldemocrat7]

26. Mary Mary, where ya going to? LOL

The Monkees sung that song.

[DS1]

5. I was almost named Zeus, and then Odyssey

Which would of course come together as



I still haven't figured out why matcom insisted on wearing lifts

[LaraMN]

8. To emphasize his fabulously defined calf muscles, obviously.

Or to provide an extra layer of protection when braking the scooter by dragging his heels?

[idgiehkt]

6. or Bronwendy!

:rofl:

I am the only person in my family not named after someone. Except I just found out that there was a Miss America I was named after, she had my first and middle name and my mom liked it so she stuck it on me. I literally found this out last week, all this time I thought I'd they'd stuck the scrap names on me. :hi:

[LaraMN]

10. My mom had nothing but Irish-sounding names picked out

for my sister.
We're not Irish. At all.

[azmouse]

7. I'm a Wendy.

Hasn't been too bad except for when Wendy's was using its "hot and juicy" campaign in the 80's.... :yoiks:

[LaraMN]

12. Bwahaha!

The worst thing that happened to me (name-wise) was Tomb Raider.
I can deal with that.

:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. I have a friend whose middle name is Bronwyn

Apparently the name is reserved for babes-alicious:

[LaraMN]

14. She's totally cute!

She has nice eyebrows.
(I appreciate well-shaped brows!)

[Oeditpus Rex]

18. She was a rookie reporter under me

In her first job out of college, she was subject to my evil whims as her editor.



Now she edits a business magazine. Can I grow 'em or what? :)

[BarenakedLady]

16. My girlfriend named her daughter Bronwyn

I named my daughter something similar, but shorter.

[LaraMN]

19. If Jack had a been a girl, I would have named him Libby Jane W-----.

I say "I," because my husband was not in agreement. We WERE going to name him that, though.
Good thing he decided to be a boy.

[AwakeAtLast]

20. I have a student named Bronwyn

She is very sweet and as blond as the Swedish ski team. Because she is about 9 and very petite, I think that name will fit her better when she gets bigger.

Love the combo name. That's a keeper! :rofl:

:hi:

[gmoney]

21. Well, you do look smashing in red plaid...

and lumberjack boots!

[Parche]

24. Name

Good thing it wasnt Misty and Cleophus

Your compromise name would be.......

MisCleo

:bounce: :hi:
