Was that to the tune of “That's Not My Name”? Awesome! And yes, I was definitely entertained.

heidi: I love “Lillian.” And I especially love “Lulu” as a nickname. People need to understand that unless a nickname is personally sanctioned, they are calling that person by the WRONG NAME, which is considered rude in most societies.

thanks julia!

my daughter is Lillian yes Lillian not Lily Lilly or Lillie.

i have never once (in print or in person) referred to her as any of these names yet people insist on using them. her nickname is Lulu or Lu.

i feel your pain. the worst is when I correct people and they act like I am insane. she will get great mileage out of the ‘just once’ response

Julia is tops

Ernie: Well, they got the first letter right. At least no one's misnamed "Blue Beaver," right? Suzanne: EXACTLY! Why don't people get it? You can't just play around with someone's name at will, adding consonants or dropping vowels. DIFFERENT NAME, MAN (thank you for my new comeback). Chris@TheSnackHound: HA! I love your story. Some people are just too thick-headed to get it. Perhaps you need to share your analogy of the Mrs. Anderson story. No. That probably wouldn't help.

I can relate. Not sure why people think “Christine” is short for “Christina.” I just don’t get that one. And I have corrected a person or two, but they continue to do that. They say “oh, they have a daughter named Christine so its hard for them to remember that you’re not.” Okay. So my 5th grade teacher’s name was Mrs. Anderson, so do I call ALL 5th grade teachers Mrs. Anderson because I don’t know any better? The logic somehow falls…

And btw, nobody calls me Christina, anyhow. I don’t like it. But its better than Christine, because that is not my name at all.

Oh girl, i completely get what you’re saying. I can’t tell you how many times i’ve been called SUSAN. Does Suzanne look like SUSAN to you?! I’m fine with Suz, Sue, Suzy…anything but not SUSAN! Different name man.

At least Julia and Julie are pretty close. For some inexplicable reason, I have been called Eric on multiple occasions. But it’s like that old saying goes, “Just don’t call me late for the Blue Beaver Beer”.
