I'm the same. My dad introduced me...Ha, Andrea! I'm the same. My dad introduced me as Carly-Ann (my given name) a few years ago and I remember noting how foreign it sounded in his voice. It was like I was surprised he knew my name at all! <br /><br />It's funny, actually. I don't often answer to Carly outside of the office. Though Queenie originated at work, it has adopted many variations, Bob has spread beyond my family and Rigby is pretty common as well (yes, my name, but still...) Kevin has his own names for me and they vary depending on the day. <br /><br />Also, add Hill - Hillie to your imaginative goalie list. ;)QueenieCarlyhttp://www.queeniecarly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501489.post-29388460574863839412011-11-25T13:39:19.888-08:002011-11-25T13:39:19.888-08:00I have two things to say:

He has never called me "Andrea".<br />2) It took me a looong time to get used to calling you "Evey", because you were introduced to me as "Yvonne". I finally forced myself to start calling you"Evey" because that's what everyone else was calling you!

That sounds like an ordinary, though manly nickname. However, it has a floral background.<br /><br />I was born in Brazil. Apparently, the bunch of vowel sounds that is my first name was difficult to pronounce in Portuguese. Being fair-skinned and blue-eyed, I was as beautiful as the bud of a flower.Ian McKenziehttp://www.ismckenzie.comnoreply@blogger.com
