Wow. You'd stop going out with a guy because you don't like his first name? There are lots of girl's names that I absolutely despise, but I would never let that affect whether I go out with them.

what if you have trouble pronouncing the name?

dgiaimo Nov 7, 2003

If you really like the person you'll learn to pronounce it properly. I have no sympathy for people who refuse to learn to pronounce other people's names properly. There are people that I've kno...

hmm, i disagree..i think some things certain people just can't say...like i can not say the name CARL for the life of me...i think something i wrong with my tounge.

There is another name i have a lot of trouble saying too.

But, you could always come up with nicknames for a person, and just call them that. That works

But would you let that affect whether you would go out with a guy? Besides, I'm sure you could at least get close to the correct pronunciation. What I'm talking about is people who _truly_ wreck the pronunciation of my name.

BTW, are you going to enlighten us as to what the other name you can't say is? :)

tinser tinserOG 2002

no, of course i wouldn't let if effect whether i went out with a guy or not...that'd be retarded...you'd be really shallow if you did.

and, no, haha...the other name is a secret

Aww... Now you've got me really curious. :) Oh well, if you don't want to tell us, that's your business.

speaking of this whole topic...what is with when a girl dates some guy let's say a mike. everyone calls him mike. why does she call him michael? you know this sort of girl? what is with that?

I never went by "Robert." Always went by "Robbie." But, there was this one girl that always had to call me Robert, instead of being like everyone else who called me Robbie. I despise "Robert," normally, but I don't know ...when she said "Robert" it had this certain unexplainable sweetness to it.

it's a sweet formality. a bit of respect.

theremin thereminOG 2002

Hmm. Only sounded good when she said it. Normally I quiver at the name. Always make people call me Robbie, or I beat 'em up. But, made the exception for her, since she was hot, and had a voice to die for.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

thats sounds shallow and stupid, robbie.

theremin thereminOG 2002

Shallow, but I refuse to agree on stupid.

I've always thought that it's because she wants to make their relationship special somehow, so she calls him something that no one else does.
