Using My Full Name

[Guest angie]

I have been an Angie for the last six plus years.After my ex and kids sat

me down and told me my full name was too big a mouthful.Though my full

name is so pretty and feminine,says exactly who I am...I rarely use it.Even

when introducing myself,I use Angie.Heck,that is because I am an Angie plain

and simple.It is my friends,male and female, that like using my full name and

I am growing very used to it.I even told the ladies at church I would prefer my

full name and they have reponded so sweety only calling me Angelique.

Now if I can just get used to using it myself lol.

Smiiiile,

Angelique-Angie-Ang

[Guest Evan_J]

For the record. "Angelique" ranks as one of the hottest of all womens monickers (at least in the book of Evan )

Short list of the worlds hottest names:

Angelique

Yvette

Lisette

....pretty much anything ending in "-ette"

Dominique (though they can be "scary".....)

Racquel

.....anybody noticing a French pattern here?

Smiles, I like Angelique its a pretty name and European Miss.

[Guest N. Jane]

I have three given names so when I have to give my full name I feel like royalty

[Guest Joanna Phipps]

My full name is Joanna but at work they call me Jo, so I go by both. I dont think anyone here at work knows my middle name.

I like the use of full names myself, but it seems to always come back to the short form.

Angelique doesn't seem to me to be a Angie though.

It seems to me to be more of an Angel, whick is a pretty name too.

Angelique is much more prefered because of just the sound of it.

Anyways all the same I love the name.

Jessica,

Most all Angela's,Angelica's and Angelique's eventually have Angie and Ang used

by most all who know them.It's just a friendly familiar form of using our names.

And we respond to them naturally.

Angelique

[Guest mia 1]

Angelique is mysterious, shadowy, sensuous, and ephemeral.

Angie is open, friendly and here for all of us....

[Guest AllisonD]

I like it too, and I like that you have such an easily identifiable familiar form like Ang.

As an Allison, I guess the short form would be Al, which doesn't work for me at all!

People have called me Allison for pretty much my whole life off and on up 'till about 14 or so, almost always 'till I was 17, and exclusively once I was 18. No short form has ever come up.

Darn,

why couldn't I have identified with a more versatile, mysterious, whatever name when I was a child? I feel cheated now.

LOL

Nah, I don't really. I have had my name for about 50 years and it is simply my name, an indelible part of my identity.

Allison

[Sally]

I had chosen a name that already is concidered to be a nick name for Sarah so I don't get to many shortened responces.

Sal is about all and I can live with that.

Love ya,

Sally

That's right. I forgot that. I wanted a baby girl in my life, and wanted to name her Sarah, but my ex wanted to name her Sally and said that Sally was the dimunitive for Sarah.

Well we never had that baby girl, but we adopted a baby raccoon, and named her Sarah..

Thanks for the memory jog, Sally....Love ya Mia

I fathered two little girls,and we chose their names with great care.

My oldest got hers on Halloween night,three weeks before she was born.

When a momma brought this darling little Raggedy Ann to the door and we asked her name.

We knew right then that was going to be our new daughters name. My youngest was supposed

to be a boy.We had no girl name picked.It took days to find just the right name to fit that

beautiful little girl we had been gifted with.Both ladies names fit their personality.

Angie

[Guest angie]

Angelique is mysterious, shadowy, sensuous, and ephemeral.

Angie is open, friendly and here for all of us....

That is my personality in a nut shell too...

Smilingly open,friendly,easy to approach and very supportive.

And I am a physical kind of woman.When talking,I like to touch

the person I am talking to very lightly as a part of my communication.

Angie

[Guest AllisonD]

I do that too. Fingertips to an arm, for example. Somehow it makes the connection more real. It bothers a few people, but not really many, and I think some actually appreciate the gesture. Perhaps they feel the same, it is part of the connection.

Allison

[Guest AshleyRF]

I like going by Ash. short simple and to the point. just like me.

[Guest mia 1]

O.K. Ash it will be from now on.....

Allison

the shortest Ive heard Allison abbreviated was to Alli, but that sounds too much like a weight loss compound now 

[Guest Donna Jean]

I also like touching during communication anymore...didn't used to, though...things change!

My name..."Donna Jean" is my name in as much as it's NOT Donna!

Friends and wife call me DJ or as I write it Dee Jay....

I remember an old episode of M.A.S.H. where everyone was trying to figure out what BJ Honeycutt's real name was...

At the end he told them ...He was named after his mom and dad!

Bee Honeycutt and his dad, Jay Honeycutt!.....LOL!

Huggs!

Allison

Allie sounds fine and still a very feminine name..but Allison triggers an adult with firmness and sense of purpose......Mia

[Guest gwenthlian]

well both my names are welsh and so the long forms are fairly hard to pronounce correctly ^^ I say both because I am never sure which I shall use as my first and which as my second. Either way, Gwenthlian becomes Gwen and Rhian stays as it is or becomes Rhi

[Guest Quite Lynda]

Hi my name is Lynda Marie, It's simple and feminine," I'm comfortable with it", It's easy to remember for those who new me as my old name, and although I go Lynda for ev ery day use, but for formal occasion's, I prefer using both, "Lynda Marie", It's me.

I love my name,after hating my old one my whole life because I never felt it fit.

Angelique Michelle-Angie

Mine is fairly straight forward, feminine and quite comfortable for me I am Joanna Marie don't know why I took that for a middle name except it sounded nice with the first name

[Guest ~Brenda~]

Angelique is a very beautiful name and one so befitting such a beautiful woman

Love

From the time i was small i loved the name Paula, it was not but a few months ago going thru some things of my mom's, she passed away 4 years ago, that i found out her middle name was Denise, i liked that and am taking it in remembrance of her, so my name when i get it changed in a couple months will be Paula Denise.
