Victoria or Scarlett... But I''ve grown to like my name.

Scarlett!!!! I love that, the second I saw the thread title that''s what popped into my head! Bizarre....

Gone With the Wind fan??

Mmmm, I LIKE GWtW, but I wouldn''t say I''m a huge fan or anything. However, I did have the North American Bear (stuffed animal, remember Mr. Bear from the show Full House? Same line of toys--there was one named Scarlett O''Beara, I had her, she was pale pink with sort of a kelly green taffetta ruffled dress and bows on her ears if that makes sense at all), plus my grandmother is super southern belle-ish....she''s soooooo Blanche from Golden Girls. Also, my mother used to play the song "Scarlett Ribbons" on the piano. You''ll have to google it and listen to it, it is a very haunting and beautiful song. Several different versions out there, but all of them are great, imo. My mother always fixed my hair when I was little, maybe from kindergarten through 5th grade until I started wanting to do it for myself, and she always used different colors and widths of grosgrain ribbon. A boy in my first grade class, Jesse, wrote an essay about the ribbons in my hair! I saw him at my 10 yr. reunion and we both had a good time remembering that. Also, when I chose my china (sad), the pattern we chose was Vera Wang for Wedgwood: Grosgrain.

Scarlett=Ribbons, for me. Love Gone With the Wind, though...sorry if I got all TMI on you!!!!

Plum ... or Meg maybe?

Funny that you mention this - I was just reminded today that I need to come up with a Chinese name soon. I always liked Mei Ling but I don''t know what it means lol

Anything that''s less common, more unique, and interesting.

 

[Lady_Disdain]

Cassandra.

I have no idea why, but I love that name.

Second choice would be Sophia.

 

[PilsnPinkysMom]

Juliet. Or Georgia.

I''d for sure change mine. Names I liked but didn''t have enough girls to use were: Claire, Jenna, Lauren...I''m sure there are more....

I would love to have a name that people could spell and pronounce. I''d be happy with a really common name. I could count on one hand the number of times in my entire life that people have pronounced my name correctly the first time they see it! I answer to anything close.

hmm...well I love the name Audrey, but it doesn''t fit me. I like my name. The only other name I could think of his Lebee (a family name).
