..Good for you . I remember an Italian family when I was growing up. They had twin boys and named them Romeo and Julius. Poor boys, I think the teachers gave them more jabs than the kids. Although they were still young when I knew them and it probably only got worse ... hugs, Cait

Re: fyi..my last name...Terri

There is a reason that I am Anne

18 + years of school and being stuck with Lavinia - Divine Livina is the least of the tacky one.

I even got into it with a rear end prof in college in my late 40's - force of habit - you get an edge on your voice and the entire class of 30 + got it he didn't

he actually started arguing - I had enough and told him 3 aunts and 2 uncles had a dispensation to call me Lavinia - due to wisdom and old age

Family and friends knew better - it was Anne and deal with it

by then the class was rolling and it finally dawned on him that he lost

OK I give looks like I'm not the only one..Teehee:)

My Last name is "Apostolakos".

My maiden name wasn't much better and growing up there were lots jokes about that one "Vastardis" At least this one can't be said using Expletives like "Bastardis"

I know it's funny oh well.

I've used Terri "A" for the last 30 plus years

Many Healing Hugs, Terri

4 of us in 8th grade went to middle names - when I first came home a friend from high school ran into me - he hesitated and said Anne - I was 160 pounds and red headed - he last saw me at 110 and platnum blond hair

we grew up on the same street - so I just grinned and hugged him
