I've been on vacation for the last couple weeks and am slowly catching up
with email ... of course, this instantly caught my eye ...

LOL, no way.  Too funny!  I'm only 30 and I don't look like Teri (sigh <g>)
but I do get a kick out of how popular my name is.  Usually, I hear about
Kathleen Brown, the politician from CA (a friend once had a magazine cover
framed for me which read "Kathy Brown for President" <g>).

Of course, the small town I lived in a few years ago had two of us, and we
had the same doctor!  I was always getting calls for her ... "just
confirming your appointment for tomorrow".  She even lived on a similar
sounding street.  Luckily she was 10 years older than me so I could
convince the callers there were two of us. <g>  I never met her but I did
have nice chats with several of her friends when they'd call Information
and get my number by mistake. The funniest were when they'd be someone with
the same name as a friend of *mine* and it would take the two of us a few
minutes of conversation to figure out that we really didn't know each
other. <bg>

I guess there are advantages to having a more complex last name ... it got
tiresome spelling my last name when I was single (put a Z and a -ski
together and people freak <vbg>, but if I had a nickle now for everyone
that said "Kathy Brown? That's my brother's wife's cousin's name" ;) I'd be
rich.

Happy New Year everyone!

Kathy

LOL! I guess that is a common name!  My name is Jamee Jones so I'm
always being called 'Jenny Jones'.  There was another Jamee Jones where
I used to live and this person had been  oohhh..how do you spell it, I
can't find it on spell check it's pronounced..suh..pee.. nod you know
when you gotta go to court.  anyways, they called me because of some
problem and I had a few phone calls and had a time convincing them I was
not that Jamee Jones!

So what was your maiden name?  I couldn't wait to get rid of my maiden
name, it was Taksony!  But I really didn't want to be a Jones either!
Just doesnt sound to great with my name.  Oh well, what can you do? ;-)

Zukowski ... between that and "Kathy with a K", I was always spelling
something. <g>

That's one reason we named our daughter Amy.  I wanted something that she
would never have to spell, and how much easier can it get than Amy Brown?
But what was I asked at least 6 times in those early months?  "How do you
spell that?"  HUH??  I guess times are such that people are more surprised
when you *don't* throw a twist into the name (Aimee or Amie). <g>

Thank you, thank you.  I had quite a trip and an adventure getting home (30
hours to get from CO to IL, and that was flying <g>). We were stuck in both
the Denver airport and Chicago-O'Hare due to the snow storm, but got home
safe and sound.  Now I just have a million emails to get through, not to
mention my house looks like it exploded due to unpacked suitcases,
mountains of laundry and my daughter's over-abundance of Christmas
presents. ;)

My maiden name was one I was very glad to be rid of: I was Jenny Blank.  As
in "nothing."  I used to walk into classrooms of 14-15 year olds and get
"Don't you want to tell us your name, Miss?" EVERY SINGLE TIME (when I was
doing Relief Teaching)!

I believe that since I moved out of home and interstate, another Blank
family has arrived, and even owns a restaurant across the road from where
my brother used to work.  I think Mum even mentioned that one of the owners
is a Jenny Blank.

My dad's name is Leon; until he retired he was a psychologist and marriage
guidance counsellor.  A couple of decades ago, he travelled to the US and
tried to meet up with someone who had had articles printed in a psychology
journal by the name of Leo Blank, but it just happened that this man was
out of NY when dad was there :(

Oh, and one more surname story:  When my parents married, one of mum's
uncles said (as part of the speeches) that he'd "never seen anyone so happy
to draw a Blank in the Lottery of Life."  (wait, it gets worse...)

My older sister married a guy by the name of Andrew Same.  Dad told the
above story at the wedding and added, "I'm so glad to see my daughter's
done the Same."

Oh, and Megan, my daughter's name, is not pronounced Meggan.  It's Meeeg'n.
 She also answers to Meggie, or Murgatroid, or MeggyMoo, or MissMoo. Or
even just Moo!  And we've seen it misspelled as Meagan and Meghan too.  We
also tried to go for the simplest spelling to avoid that.

So much for that idea!

Well, I traded in LaCoume for McElhaney - my childhood dreams of a "easy"
name
that I didn't have to spell certainly didn't come true!   But it I have had
the unique experience of being asked in every city/state I've been to, at
least once, if I was related to "Dr. McElhaney" - I keep telling my husband
I
married the wrong guy - I could have married a doctor :)

But at least I didn't have my mom's problem her name was Mary E. Grace, and
she always got asked - No, I need your full name, when she told them her
name
was Mary Grace.

Hehe, Lori, I went the opposite way ... my maiden name was Weaver, which
I thought was just as dull as dirt, so I was glad to trade it in for
something as interesting as Jernigan.  I have to spell it for people, and=

the phone solicitors *never* pronounce it right (and honestly, it ain't
that tough - just use all the letters!), but I'm still happy with the tra=

And while we're talking last names... my husband and I are sure
we're distantly related, because we both have ancestors named Smith <g> =

How much more proof do you need?

LOL!

I'll jump on the band wagon with my name story:

My parents decided to be a little untraditional and name me "Stefanie,"
with an "f" not a "ph."  Ah, but it goes with my last name "Slifer."
Three points if you can pronounce *that* correctly! <g>  Okay, okay, it's
like "life" with an S on the front and an R on the end: Sly-fur.  But we
get all sorts of different spelling on junk mail (Slicer, Slufer), and
telemarketers. . .

Added to that is the fact that we live on "Dexired" (dex-ee-red), so I
have to recite/spell *everything*.

I love my music minister's name: Stephen Carrell (like a Christmas
carol).  How appropriate!

Hugs,
Stefanie =)   cute6@juno.com

Well, I have to jump in on this one.  My maiden name is Drew.  "Anne Drew"
All through school people kept teasing me and asking what my last name was.
Also, I was asked why my parents would name me Andrew.  Oh brother, I was
glad
when I married and took my husband's name of Carlson.  Although, it was
kinda
fun as a kid saying that my mother was "the" Nancy Drew that had all of the
adventures in the mystery series.  Another funny thing is that my mother's
maiden name is Hardy.  So, she got a lot more teasing as an adult about her
name.

This is a fun TAN.

of the world doesn't know that ;)  Then you've got "Tanz", which is just
plain wierd.  I've been told it means "to dance" in German.  If I had a
quarter for every time a teacher called out Gilligan Taaahnzzzzzz on the
first day of school...well, I wouldn't be rich exactly but, well, that

Stosser seems to come out as Stoffer despite spelling it out as
S-T-O-double S for Sam-E-R; or Stoser (long O - as in "stow-ser") for the
telemarketers, all too often!

And I live on Gowrie St, which no-one ever seems to know how to spell...

My first name is a very commmon one and so there has always been some one
else
in my immediate "group" who has the same name. A good friend, my best friend
as a child, the wife of my husband's best friend  [a common suggestion from
them -- Why don't we take the Carols? ], and always another Carol on staff
since I started working.  I'm sure there are at least 10 Carols on this

At times it can be a little confusing, not to mention the identity crisis
stuff. <g>  Anyone with the name Kathy, Debby, Barb must have had similar

So I was thinking as I read this thread, Kent is a very common surname and
probably in a mega city like Metropolis, there must be another Clark Kent.
What if there was a mixup in the two -- perhaps with mail and then credit
card
stuff?  Perhaps something more serious -- Our Clark gets an important letter
meant for the other or begins to get threatening calls,  or the government
mixes the 2 up [taxes, or maybe the other Clark is an Illegal alien and they
want to deport him or...]  I thought I would suggest it as a possible story
line.  There's lots of snow outside and it's cold---a good time to write

Ok, coming out of lurk mode to join in:  My last name is Crane.  How easy is
that?  But I have to spell it every single time I give it over the phone,
the
cleaners, etc.  The real kicker is when they ask me to spell my first name
too:  Kate.  Oh, to have Lois" knack at spelling my name out for the D as in
dimwitted.............

Time for me to come out of lurking too. How would you like for your last
name
to be "Christian" ?  I can still remember when I was in Junior High School
in
Social Studies Class when we would be discussing religions of various
countries and Christianaity would pop up! I can't tell you how many stares
and
jokes about starting that religion from my classmates I would get because of
that! <g>

Luckily, since I got married and changed my last name to Howard, I don't get
that any more!

I got you on the "Clark Kent" bit.  There is a DJ at a local radio station
named just that, but they haven't ever used its connection with Superman.

Hehe. Okay, everyone use to call me Farrah Fawcett (sp?) until they
realized it wasn't an insult -- dumb kids. Then people asked
if I was named after her. I WISH.

THere is a company called FARAH -- they make cheap dress pants.
I think Wal-Mart sells them. Everyonce in a while, I steal a hanger
with the name "Farah" on it.

Anyway. My dad was wearing these pants one day and thought it was a cool
name.

BTW. My maiden name is Meitzen. (now my middle name) I traded it for
Chisham. Perfect. same amount of tellers and sounds sort of the same.
I think its an Irish name. From German to Irish. who knew.

I had some friends in college that would call me Farah Jism. (yuck!) they
asked me if I got that alot growing up. They're really stupid.
I told them I only had "Chisham" for a few years.

Interesting thread. Since I don't like my unusual name, I feel compelled to
join in. <g> My real name is Christiane Kubit. I can always tell when
teachers/professors get to my name in roll call because they pause and make
a
confused face.

Christiane, which is pronounced "Christy Anne" was made up by my mother,
even
though it is also a French name. Talk about odd names, I've only ever *heard
of* three other people with my first name, never met any. Teachers usually
think it's "Christian" misspelled, so they think I'm a guy. Or they ignore
the
"a" and think it's "Christine." As for my last name, I've stopped correcting
people when they mispronounce it. It's pronounced like "Coo Bit," but it's
usually misprounced as "Cube It." The only good thing about it is my
initials-- CK. :)

Might as well join in here. <g>  My maiden name was Angerer, which is a
German name (-er means "person of" and Anger means "field or meadow", which
gives me rather humble roots, which I like) and it is pronounced anger-rer.
The best I ever got out of my classmates growing up was "anger-er" with
something of a glottal stop before the second "er".  The name was regularly
misprounounced as "anjerer," "angrier" (and there were a lot of jokes about
anger to go with that) or even "angler" though I have no idea where the L
could come from.

So I was much relieved to be marrying a Crawford, a nice simple name that
almost nobody ever asks me to spell. :)  My only complaint has been that
"Emily Crawford" sounds like some kind of romance novelist.  I told this to
a bunch of FoLCs on IRC when I was trying to pick a nickname, and they said,
"So why not just become a romance novelist, then?"  I like the way we think.

Incidentally, I use the full "Emily Angerer Crawford" on my professional
work, and I noticed the other day that my German advisor has me on his web
site as just "Emily Angerer."  Finally, somebody who appreciates the name.

Well, the people who made the street signs for my street didn't even know
how to spell it.  At one end we're St. Claire and at the other we're St.
Clair!!
Now, as for my very popular name...I graduated with 5 other Michelle
Lynn's and there were only 103 people in my class!!!  Also, there is a
woman who goes to the same bank as me who wins the prize...we are both
named Michelle Lynn Glenn...lol

and I've just got to put my experience in...I did the 80's thing (or is it
the 90's thing) and hyphenated my name when I got married.  The funny thing
is, I was rarely asked how to pronounce my maiden name (Alkire--though they
would say ALL-kire instead of al-kire, like the guy's name; that didn't
bother me much.)
But what mystifies me is that no one seems to be able to pronounce
Alkire-Cherry.  I get so many people asking me, wow, what nationality are
you?  I can't even answer, it's all I can do to avoid rolling my eyes!!!  :)

My favorite funny last names are military related (I'm currently in the
military).  I met a Sgt. America (I really hope he goes officer someday and
becomes Captain America); there's a Sgt. Navy in the Air Force.  And since
this is a G rated list, I'll just leave all the navy jokes alone--lower
enlisted swabbies are all called Seaman, and well, I don't think any more
needs to be said!!!  ;)

pronounced Crooshner.  I've been called Crustier, Crusenturner and just

she thought she'd do better when she got married, but Crustner is almost
worse :)

I just thought that I would add my own to the list.
Both my maiden name and my married name get misspelled and pronounced
all the time. My maiden name pretty much gets pronounced the way it is
spelled  Diefenderfer, and my married name is pretty much the same
Seritsky.

As for street names, the street that I lived on for about nine years
is separated by a boys home, so one one end it is Putnam and on the
other end it is Putman.

Well, I like this thread so I thought I'd join in :)

I have a polish surname, Rosowski (ski meaning 'son of' and roso meaning
'rose')  and translated down it means that the name was probably derived
>from someone that worked in or near a garden <g>.
I have people spell my name wrong constantly, even after I tell them how to
say it (Ross-ovf-ski). I have had people say Rozouwski, Rozosky, one of the
nurses when my mother was in hospital called her 'Mrs Rozzowhiskey' (LOL),
and it is so funny because at my  work when they need to call me over the
p.a they usually just say Tricia or Tricia Rose.
My grade six teacher tried particularly hard to get all the surnames of the
students right on graduation day (and made a special point of saying mine
because my mother kept correcting him all the time!!) but he had a more
troublesome name than mine to pronounce <g> -- one of the girls in my class
has the longest name I have ever seen: Sutharshini Kamaleswaran (which is
pronounced for those wondering 'Sudthasheeny Camelezvaran') and takes a bif
of practice to get your tongue around :)
I like my surname because it is pretty unique where I live (there is only
one person in the phone book that isn't related to me) and gives me some
insight into my past (something I have almost no knowledge of and it is
really starting to interest me) although I am sure I will be happy to trade
it in when the time comes..... mmmm (I'm thinking 'Tricia Louise Banks'
sounds nice -- in my dreams! LOL)

I live on a street that on one end says Timberlake Wilderville Rd. and on
the other says Wildersville Timberlake Rd.  Maybe it tries to tell people
just exactly where they are going.  Hmph!

Okay, well, I don't have any surname stories that I can think of at the
moment.  But, I do have a little street name quip to share.  There is an
intersection about 5 minutes from where I live that I just stumbled across
one day.  It is an intersection between Dean Rd. and Clark Rd. (and the road
sign makes me smile whenever I see it:) -- pretty significant, eh?

I have a street name story to throw in here.  The street I live on is
labeled Itaska Street at one end and Itaska Road the other end of the
block.  Then, when you look it up in the street guide, it's called Itaska
Avenue.  They really need to make up their minds!

Okay, must dive into this one.
Every time I go to Tampa I'm quite pleased to pass by Lois Avenue
to get to my office.  I like to rejoice in those little things, ya know?
<g>
Well one day, we went out to lunch and took some back roads to
get back to the office, and I almost jumped out of my seat when
I saw Clark Street about two blocks away!!!
Only thing is, they are parallel.
What was that Lois said? Together, but eternally
teased. <vbg>

Subject:      Re: TAN: Surnames, etc.

Very interesting thread.

I'm not married so I can't say how my name has changed. :o) However, I
have had some name problems. My name is Cristin Jo Whitley. First off,
there were SO many baby girls born in the early 80s named
Cristin/Christen/Kristin/Kristen/Cristen/Christin. Ahem, and there are a
lot of ways to spell it. <g> I've only met one person who spells it the
same way that I do, but I've heard of a million! Seems at least once a
week some customer at work will stop me and say, "Oh my goodness! My
daughter/aunt/cousin/sister/wife/niece (you get the point) spells her
name like that. I have never seen it spelled that way anywhere else!"
Seems there are a lot of Cristins out there. Odd that I've only met one.
Maybe they are all hidden from the world... living in underground
dwellings or in treehouses or in the witness protection program. I don't
know! Anyway, the first day of school has always been stinky for me. See,
I used to go by C.J. (because there were so many
Cristin/Kristen/Christen/etc people). So I would always have to correct
every teacher. Now that I use my actual name again (guess all the people
with similar names failed, moved, or dropped out of school???), I still
get it messed up. Substitute teachers have called me Christian,
Christine, Christina, Kirsten, etc. With my last name being Whitley and
the role being last name, first name... I get called Whitney a lot too.
Also, once my grandmother ordered something from some catalog... they
changed the WH to SH in my last name... <g>

Cristin (no e, no a) Jo (no e... I'm a girl :o)) Whitley (not Whiteley,
not Whitney) :o)

PS - I have also accumulated a LOT of nicknames... Cris, Crissy, Ceej,
Ceeeejaaaaay (with all the vowels <g>), Kiki Do, Tin-tin, Scoopergirl (at
work <g>)... the list goes on and on...

Oh oh oh!!! Here there is a Terry Street (so they spelled it wrong) and a
Clark Road that intersect. Terry Street also intersects with Emerson
Road.... I think if Teri has a son she should name him Phillip.. because
Emerson and Phillips is a big intersection here <g>

Then there was the time that I subscribed to a magazine before I got
married.  Never received anything; called them up to find out why and they
had thought it was a joke application to subscribe, with my maiden name of
Blank!

LOL, that's cute.  I used to work with a woman named Sandy Drew, and
believe me, a great number of people would accidentally call her Nancy when
refering to her in conversation.  I guess sometimes our tongues work faster
than our brains! :)

I agree.  I didn't know I was starting one, but I've enjoyed reading all

And I've had 2 doctors in the past - one named Dr. Payne and another named
Dr. Shotz.  ;)  They didn't work together though - I always thought that was

Hey, I was just wondering if all you fellow fanfic-ers think that it's
strange
that we are all still obsessed with this one TV show that hasn't actually
been
on for almost 2 years.  I mean, I'm just obsessed as the next guy/girl, but
still, what other TV show has these kind of fans, all other shows that get
canceled are usually just forgotten about.  So, just out of curiousity do
you
think it's strange that we are all like this?

Not at all. Beauty and the Beast has been gone from our TV screens for a
lot longer than two years, and I assure you that B&B fandom is thriving!
There are a lot of things L&C has in common with B&B, which may explain why
both continue to live on in the hearts of the fans. We're not crazy to be
so "obsessed" ...we just happen to know quality when we see it! :-)

Are we strange?  Yep, but I'd much rather be strange than normal,
anyway.  It's more fun this way.  Are we the only fans who are still
obsessed after their show's been cancelled?  Nope.  Two words: Star
Trek.

So I was thinking as I read this thread, Kent is a very common surname
and
probably in a mega city like Metropolis, there must be another Clark
Kent.
What if there was a mixup in the two -- perhaps with mail and then credit
card
stuff?  Perhaps something more serious -- Our Clark gets an important
letter
meant for the other or begins to get threatening calls,  or the
government
mixes the 2 up [taxes, or maybe the other Clark is an Illegal alien and
they
want to deport him or...]  I thought I would suggest it as a possible
story
line.  There's lots of snow outside and it's cold---a good time to write
[unless you ski til you drop].

Or what if the other CK got a letter delivered to him from ma and pa
Kent, and there was a referrence to CK=S?  Hmmm..........

Hey, sorry for posting something that is off topic, but this is something
that
has been running through my mind. Does anyone know if any FoLCs are planing
on
getting together to go to Cabaret in LA and purchase group tickets? It might
be worth checking into. I don't know about anyone else, but I am planning on
"just happening" to be in LA to visit family at the time, and the thought of
having a regular ticket price (tickets start at $40, but I would like good
seats) plus that of airfare...I wonder if I will be able to make it. If you
have any info, please e-mail me.

Actually, I don't think it's unusual at all, Kristen. There are still active
fans for two SF/Fantasy shows this end of the Pond which have been gone for
over a decade: Blake's 7 and Robin of Sherwood. Conventions are still held,
fanzines written, websites abound. I can think of more thriving fandoms for
long cancelled shows consigned to the mists of TV archives in the US than I
could name here. The truth is quality and imagination never die. I've been
privileged to be taken to more worlds of the imagination than I can count in
20 years of my interest in TV SF/Fantasy and none of them have died in my
heart. That I'm not alone in remembering the Golden Ages gives me hope for
the world, to be honest.

Hi there

This names business has finally got me out...... I live in Norwich (UK),
and have done for over 40 years.

For about 10 years here, our City head of the 'Waste Disposal Department'
(dustbin men) was called *Ms Smellie* - I kid you not - his name was on the
doors of all the City's Dustbin vans!!!!

I can only assume that our UK leader - Dom - is off-list for a while, do I
will tell her favourite story on names; you can shoot me later, if you
want, but it's fully attributed to FlakeyDom.....

Dealing with a customer, she had difficulties in writing the delivery
address for an item - it produced such wonderful, delicious (nfic)
pictures!!  The street name was 'Kenton Lane' !!!

Hiya Jess =)

Just thought I would let you know that several of us are going on March
10th.....a couple of wonderful FoLCs got tickets this morning and that was
the
earliest they could get for what we wanted in group tickets......

The tickets are going much faster than most people thought they would and so
if you are going to get tickets - it is best to get them very very soon -
they
went on sale this morning....

Lots of luck to ya!

I had to play that name game in Germany.  He rented videos and forgot to
return them, then I had to deal with the phone calls.  The best part was
when he was in charge of a very large truck that rolled down hill, hit a
helecopter that was waiting to be repaired, and I was the cop called to the
accident.  He got more than just a police report out of that one.  <G>
Maybe Clark's folks could try to call him and, not knowing they had a wrong
number, reveal some interesting things to questionable persons.  Hmm.

Who are you calling obsessed?  Just because I record each episode of L&C,
watch each tape a few dozen times a week you think we're obsessed.  Okay
maybe we are.  Wow, what a concept... I have to think about this one.  But I
do have to put my vote in for RED DWARF.
By the way, is there a better search word for revelation stories in the
archive, other than "revelation"?

Well I guess I can join in to since this has been a fun thread.  My
maiden name (now my middle name too!) was Parker.  No one knew how to
pronounce Cassandra.  Was it Cas Sandra or Ca Saundra.  So I chose Cassy
for short, well then my name suddenly became Casey. Sheesh.  So it went
to CASS (IE) When people finally figured out that c*ASS*ie rhymed with
another unappealing word it was easy to tease me.  Especially when Parker
turned to PORKER.  Now it is simple: CASSIE NEIL short and easy, I could
stand that after years of teasing and mispronouncations..  Of course
people don't know what the heck my husband's name is.  Is he James, Jim,
or is he Neil. (actually he goes by Jon, his middle name). With a last
name that is also a 1st name people (you know people) can get easily
confused with something so complicated.  (HEHEHEHE)

CASSIE Parker NEIL and proud of all 3 names :)

Unless I'm mistaken, there's a whole genre section of the archive
dedicated to revelations.  In fact, isn't there a Revelations 1 and
Revelations 2?  Just check out the search by Genre section :)

Obsessed huh? I might be a late convert to L&C but I think I'm quite
happy being obsessed! Think I had more fun now in my obsessed days then
I had before!

Oh yes, other shows do have a great following still....like Star
Trek...must confess, I have been a Trekkie for years...guess some shows
really touch the imagination of people and they just live on

Always have this private fantasy that someone out there will realise how
great L&C was and do a movie version, like they did for Star Trek!

Well living on Maui, I'm afraid we don't have any street names as easy
to pronounce as Dean or Clark!  BUT...when they were having the
elections last year for council members, and everyone would put their
signs up along the road ways, one of the the persons names I would see
throughout the city was "Dain Kane"  a little different then Deans name
but it definitely gave me happy thoughts as I passed those signs every
time. ;-)  .....and actually the  "Kane" is probably pronounce different
like....Kah-nay.... but I preferred to pronounce it my own little way!!

Well, I discovered that Welcome Wagon had sold MY address & phone number
with
the name of Lewis Farber to a zillion places and I've been getting mail and
phone calls for this guy (my name is Laurie Farber and I'm in the phone book
as L Farber). When I got a call from a title company asking if Lewis and I
had
received the copy of the deed, I'd had it and I went to the county clerk's
office to check on our deed! No, his name wasn't on our deed (thank
goodness!)
but it seems a Lewis & Audrey Farber bought a house in ANOTHER village in
the
same county. So even if they picked the only L Farber in the phone book,
they
got the town wrong!  I got a copy of his deed and called both the title
company and his lawyer. Neither have gotten back to me about how this could
have happened... Meanwhile now everytime I get a marketing call I ask if
they
are looking for Lewis and they always say yes. I expain that this is NOT a
recently purchased home (good grief, I grew up here!) and Lewis doesn't even
live in this neighborhood and would they please tell whoever they purchased
the list from that they were sold incorrect information. :P

I thought I had a very common last name being a "Jones"  until I moved
to Maui, I'm always being asked how to spell it and one lady who worked
at the office where you get state I.D.'s actually said to me
"Jones....that's a different name, where are you from?"  and she wasn't
teasing me either!

My husbands ancestors last name was really 'Branson'---I like that much
better.  But we are told that his great great (not sure how many
greats!) grandfather threw someone down a well and killed him so he
changed his name to Jones to hide from the 'law'!

A friend told me that when you get married, it is one time that you and
your husband can both change your last name for free.  Wonder if it's
true, and I wish I would've known!

j-meeejones.....who's sorry for posting so much, just got back from a

This thread finally brought me out of lurkdom along with several
others it seems. It has been fun to read.

My married name is a pretty common one--Martin--but before that I
spent a number of years as Sir. Yep---plain ole Sir. Not only did I
get a lot of strange looks as well as requests for the spelling but
the funniest were the times when I was asked for my last name. The men
always repeated the question as if I hadn't heard them. A number of
times I would finally have to say, "my last name *is* Sir."

always calls Dean to mind)  :)

Very clever, Pam <g>. But you should also know that it's the most common
boy's
name (at least in the U.S.). When we were scripting a show we do in schools,
I
said if we always use "Michael" we can guarantee that there will be at least
one in every group of 50-60 kids. Many years ago in a Catholic High School,
I
taught a class that had 3 Michael's and 4 Kathy's!!

aired....

LOLOL! And you just quirked an eyebrow and said "the mainland"? <g>

My husband's name is Jim, but of course it's listed as James in the phone
book.  Yeah, James Brown.  How many prank phone calls have we received over
the last several years? ;)  Once I got to declare victory though.  The
phone rang at 2 am with yet another drunk.  "Yo, is James Brown there? He's
my FAVORITE singer!!"  From somewhere out of my dream, came a response that
stunned him into silence:

"I'm sorry, they've moved. This is the Arnold Schwartzenager residence. Can
we help you?"

They never called back again. ;)

Fun thread!

My husband's name is Brian Love. Come to find out there's another Brian
Love in our area and he even had an account at the same bank! That
unnerved us. We had no problems, fortunately, and have since changed to a
bank that is closer to our home.

As for my maiden name, it's Artzberger. Actually, it's pronounced just
like it looks (ARTSburger), but the telemarketers could never get it
right. The name is German and supposedly means 'doctor of the hills'. I
got a lot of ribbing growing up-- one taunting male in elementary school
even started calling me 'Aardvark'! ;-)

As for my first name, I'm a Lynda with a 'y', and it's interesting how
many people forget that. People who have known me for years still write
my name with an 'i'. Geez....

My married name, Love, is a lot easier to sign than Artzberger-- I
definitely got a deal there. But still, you'd be surprised how many
people mishear my last name. I lot of people hear it as 'Lowe', so I
still have to spell it a lot. Or maybe it's just that they don't believe
that a person with the first name of Lynda could have a last name of
Love. :-)

Anyone have specialized license plates with their last name? It's a
quirky tradition in the Love family. There's LOVE1, LOVE2, LOVE'S, and
mine, which is RXLOVE.

Do you want the entire history of Star Trek, the spin offs and everything
else?
Or was that a rhetorical question?

Well past time, I think to give kudos to Annie for consistently providing us
all with such marvelous insights into our favorite authors. This site has
become the highlight of my week (and boy did I miss it over the holiday
season!) as I delve into the psyches of the people who provide me with some
wonderful moments of fanfic. I can't wait to see who is next to appear. And
now.....just when you thought she couldn't improve on the idea, Annie takes
it to new heights and starts giving us a glimpse into the writers who gave
us our favorite couple's antics each week on the show.

Don't stop Annie! Thanks from this curious reader who loves to take a peek
behind the curtain and find out where and how the imagination takes flight.

>Fun thread!

I agree.  I just got back from semester break...and had 239 emails waiting
for me. I KNEW I forgot something.  But, I'm glad I forgot to go NO MAIL,
because of this thread.  I have a few quick ones to add to this.

My name is Sara (S-A-R-A, no H) Kraft (with a K).  I grimace when I see
Sarah Craft.  There are a lot of *clever* people out there who quickly
change the "C" that they wrote to a "K" whenever they are filling out forms.

My middle name is Ryan (a German family name) which got me quite a bit of
teasing in grade school because "That's a BOY's name!"

Even to this day, I'm known as Sara Kraft Macaroni and Cheese (and No, my
parents do not own the company, although I wish they did $$$$)

My best friend's name is Abeer Edward Abi-aad.  Abeer is Lebanese for
'scent of a rose' and as Lebanese culture has it, the children take their
father's name as their middle name.  Most people think she's joking when
she introduces herself.  As for roll call....most teachers are looking for
an Edward.

On Interstate 10 in Arizona, there is a sign for a town called
Jerome-Clarksville.  I smile every time I see it.

Sara Ryan Kraft Macaroni and Cheese (a.k.a. Cachotas, Max, Special K,
<nobody doesn't like> Sara Lee, and Sara Sue)

Hi there, y'all!

OBSESSION

Being a recent FoLC myself (around 5 months - and that's recent compared to
a
      number of you guys out there) since

the show came to Portugal in 1998 (the show was televised before, but I
missed
      it), I guess I can't compare. But I can

honestly say that I will be obsessed by L&C forever... You see, this is not
the
      only TV show I'm obsessed with. I love

The Beauty And The Beast and I'm absolutely crazy for the X-Files. I'm also
an
      Elvis fan since I was 9 (I'm 28 now).

And I've been having so  much fun because I'm this way, that I really don't
      wanna change.

LOIS &CLARK ENDED IN PORTUGAL - PEOPLE COMPLAINED

Speaking of L&C again, though. Here the show ended at the beginning of
December.
      I knew how it was going to end

because of you, guys... because I have access to Internet, I have e-mail,
etc...
      and our media doesn't usually inform

people about these things. Anyway, I recently saw an article in one of our
main
      mags where they mentioned the amount

of people who wrote TVI (the tv channel televising the show) complaining for
      having ended televising the show before

it actually ended...! They were also complaining for them having replaced
L&C by
      Robocop. They don't like Robocop... I wonder

if the magazine will explain to these unfortunate people (they still believe
      there are more eps to be shown...) that the show was

cancelled and that's all they're gonna get. Lots of friends of mine started
      watching the show too influenced by me and I got

several phone calls asking when the next episode was going to be
televised...
      they all got *very* surprised to find out that

that was it. And disappointed, too.

SURNAMES - FUNNY RELATED THINGS

Now moving on to the surnames subject. I really had fun reading your posts
on
      this matter. I only regret I can't do the same.

I have *loads* of funy stories regarding names and surnames (starting with
my
      own name), but it's only funny in Portuguese.

You see, Portuguese people have a very specific and ironical sense of humor.
      They turn everything into a joke. You can't

imagine the jokes we have on Bill Cliton (poor man...!). And we love to turn
our
      own culture, habits, customs and names/surnames

into jokes, too. We also have very long names. I have four names and that's
      considered normal for us. But I know people with

seven and eight names and once I knew someone with 13 names...! And she
wasn't
      even descendant of royalty (our kings and

queens had very long names). Sometimes the names put together make a full
      sentence with meaning. Sometimes *very* funny

meanings come out of this. It's a pity I can't share some stories with you.
      They're all naughty   : )

MY OWN STORY

It's very common in my country to have names of animals, food and
professions.
      Animals like: Chicken (Galinha/Frango) and their little ones

(Pinto), Pig (Leitao), Cow (Vacas), Rabbit (Coelho), etc... Food like: Milk
      (Leite), Bread (Pao), Fish (Peixe), ect... And you can have two food

or animal names in a row. I know this sounds funny in English: "How are you,
Mr.
      Pig? And how's Mrs. Pig doing?"

My last two names are Pereira (Pear Tree) and Carvalho (Oak Tree). *But* my
very
      last name also means a nasty/dirty word

without the *v*. I mean, a *very* nasty word... you can't imagine the jokes
I
      was subject to, especially while I was growing up. Well, all right,
I'll
      tell

you what it means... tt means the male sex, but the nasty way, the nasty
word
      (s). And once, when I was at college and was doing my application,

 the secretary misspelled my name, not *that* way though, thank goodness
(she
      wrote Cavalho). But my Marketing teacher was calling our names

for the first time in his class and he stopped at my name, he raised his
      eyebrows and asked "Carvalho?" He was the only teacher doing this,
because

everyone knew it was a typo anyway. I just rolled my eyes and said, "Yeah,
it's
      misspelled, but it's Carvalho." (I did it on purpose) Everybody
started

laughing and asking how it was written and my teacher (poor guy) blushed a
lot.
      We were a class of around 70 girls and he always remembered my

name from that first day onwards and always smiled, looking at me.

Sorry for taking so much of your time and thanks for reading!

 canceled are usually just forgotten about.  So, just out of curiousity do
you
 think it's strange that we are all like this? >>

Well, there's fandoms that have been around a long time like Star Trek,
which
has been mentioned by several people, though there is a worry currently that
Trek as a "franchise" is losing steam.  The original series didn't attract a
huge fandom until four or five years after it was canceled and brought back
in
syndicated reruns around 1973.  Then the movies started in the late 70s and
then TNG, DS9 and Voyager. The odd thing about TNG is that once the series
was
over, it started faltering as strictly a rerun product and started
disappearing from various markets or being shifted into the wee hours of the
morning.

That becomes the ultimate test of a show's longevity.  How well it can
maintain and attract a following once no more new episodes are made, or how
many people will continue watching the reruns repeatedly even though they've
seen them all.  It's one reason the original Trek had such an advantage
(that
and it was truly a character-driven show when such programs were rare)  VCRs
as a common piece of household equipment were over a decade away, and so
old-
timers like me watched the reruns over and over again because that was the
only way to see them.  When VCRs became common, some people tended to
collect
a series and then never watch the reruns again.  Especially if a series had
a
definite, or perhaps more correctly, a "finite" series-ending episode or
movie.  That is, all series eventually become history, but some can become
"living" history, the feeling that the characters are still out there having
adventures, making love, making babies, having a life, etc., while other
series become "dead" history because they slam the book closed with little
left to the imagination as to the characters' outcome.

Don't be sorry. I loved reading about viewers in Portugal. I also recently
heard from a fan in Israel where the show's reruns are starting up again.
It
gives me a warm and fuzzy global feeling ;)

Sure it's strange ;)  However, after it was canceled, the L&C
version of the Superman story became *ours*, All Ours.

So now it's even more fun to play with and recreate.

Has anyone been working on recreating lately?

Well, thankfully I've never been accused of being named Glenn...lol.
However, I can't count how many times teachers would call out Michael
Glenn when they read the roll, of course my dad's name is Michael Glenn.
And even more complicated apparently is spelling...I've had Mashell,
Mechelle, Michealle, Mishelle, Mischelle, Michell, Michele and many, many
more...

Hi All:
My turn...

Born Kristina Marie Kampmeyer (CampFire to all the people who wanted to poke
fun) married to Mr. Ralph W. de Castro. Computer mail constantly slams the
"de" and "Castro" parts together and then capitalize the d. I went from
being
a "person from the land" to a "person from the castle"! Cool trade, that
marrying up stuff.

Both of us come from "well-established on the American shores" families, and
neither one of us speaks very good Spanish, then add to that that we live on
Mantilla Ave, and the junk mailers,  etc. think I want to subscribe to the
"Musica Latina" club. Another rip/shred for the garbage can.

Mom's name is Christine (notice the C with an E, mine's a K with an A), and
Dad was in the military. Needless to say, the medical records got screwed up
more than once. In the fifth grade I broke my right leg (let Superman x-ray
ME!) but she got that put in her medical records, while I got her "female"
stuff put in mine!
Yikes!

Another point:
My husband's middle initial is W. His father is Ralph C. What confusion when
we live in the same town.

>>I have to spell it for people, and the phone solicitors *never*
pronounce it right (and honestly, it ain't that tough - just use all the
letters!), but I'm still happy with the trade :-)<<

I know what that's like, my last name is Slisz, go ahead and pronounce
that!  It's really simple, you say it like Liz with an S in front, but
most people try and put a t in there, or make the z silent and say it
Slis.  I have heard several really weird pronunciations, like Sliltz, or
shultz, and Sluts, and Slice.  I don't think that its hard, but then
again I have had it for 18 years.  My younger brother couldn't pronounce
it when he was little, he used to tell people his name was Joshy Todd
Flisz, but he grew up and knows his name now.  I have only met 3 people
who said it right the first time, two of my high school teachers, who
had my older sister first, and my best friend, who's last name is
Sleight, pronounced Slate.

Oh, I almost forgot the most interesting and funny thing about my name,
well my mom's.  Her name is Becky Slisz, and for some odd reason we
started recieving mail for a Peggy Flisz.  Ok, sorry just had to get
that in, I love my last name though.

That's ok, I used to live off of a street called Maebuni, for about a
year, we pronounced it "My Bunny" :) and sang the song from that
commercial for those of you who remember the toy (went along with kid
sister and my buddy dolls).  We lived there for a year before we found
out it was pronounced "May Boony," but we still sang the little song.

>There's a Blenheim/Blenhiem St near us.<

There are three streets here in San Antonio, a  Blenheim Ave. Blenheim
Blvd. and a Blenhiem Blvd.  Three different streets, each on its own
side of town, forming a sort of triangle.  I always wondered what would
happen if there was a fire on one of them, and I asked my dad, he said
when he was little there was, and the firetrucks went to the wrong
street, hehe :) but hey, that's San Antonio for you.  Speaking of
streets, (now I'm on a roll) there is a street in San Antonio called St.
Mary's.  It's a nice normal street only its down town and it's split up
into about 5 different sections, you'll start out on St. Mary's and
after a few blocks you'll be on Frio, then a few more blocks you'll be
back on St. Mary's.  it does this all the time, see that section that
should be where Frio is is about 3 blocks over and parallel.

On the name subject, I think my parents made a big mistake naming all
four of us kids with j-names, Jennifer, Julie, Joshua, and Jared.  I
have been called all of those names, I'm Julie, but I'll be walking down
the hall and my mom will see me and ask Jared (who is outside playing)
to go get Josh, who is standing right next to her.  Josh is really
Jennifer.  It happens all the time, sometimes the make it really simple
and call us, J-kid 1 or 2 or whatever we are.

One more thing.  I was watching L&C with my dad the other day and it was
the second episode where his mom pulls out the S-sheild.  I have a
question about that.  Ok, what does the S stand for?  I know Lois made
it Super, but it came with him from Krypton, and he was Kalel of the
house of El, none of which even contain the letter s.

Julie~
who knows of a street that splits and one half goes completely around a
big circle and then back with the other half adding about 40 yards extra
to one side, whats in the circle?  a dead tree in a pot in the middle of
a rock garden~

The 'S' is the Krypton symbol for "El".  The fact that it looks like an
English letter S is just a coincidence.

I really have been enjoying the latest thread.......
I am sure I have not sent this in - I think I did and it got sent back -
wrong address.........My maiden name is MUNRO - I have seen every
spelling - MUNRO/MUNROE/MONROE/MONRO
I traded that in for an Italian surname - MODOLO.  Now that is the fun
part.  People insist on adding their own things to it - an "n" to make
it Mondolo or an "a" to make it Modola - from Sicily.
My real name is Susan Joan, but I go by Sue.  Well, every once in a
while, some smart aleck wants to know why
As for streets, there is a section of Toronto here called Baby Point.
They have Baby Point Road, Baby Point Street, Baby Point Cresc, etc.
They are all connected.  Now that would be a fun day for the fire
department, etc.
Something I have always wondered - how did the New Kryptonians learn
English so fast?  I am sure they were only on Earth for about a month
before they contacted Clark........
