The Name Game

Dictionary.com defines nickname as "a name added to or substituted for the proper name of a person, place, etc., as in affection, ridicule, or familiarity". Some people like their nicknames, some don't. Some nicknames are obvious, some are just bizarre. Some of us have nicknames we've carried all our lives...whether we like it or not! Some people are known only by their nickname, while others have nicknames that they don't even know about! And still some have never had a nickname. If you are included in the last group, and have always wanted a nickname, today is YOUR day, baby! Just surf on over to Nickname Generator answer a few questions and then BAM! You've got a nickname. It's great...try it. I did. And do you know what nickname it gave me? No, of course you don't. The nickname generator dubbed me..."Tabbaaraq". What the heck is that? Is that even pronounceable? Good night nurse! That is a sound, not a name! Not to be easily put off, I tried another name. I decided to try the name Eric Smith, in an effort to name my newest brother in law. Something a little more creative than the painfully obvious "Smitty". Well, the Nickname Generator is creative, rest assured. The nickname it generated for Eric Smith is...Poison Bananas. I'm not kidding, although I am laughing. Posion Bananas. What do you say to that? How???? How on earth do you get Poison Bananas from Eric Smith? Well, if nothing else, Nickname Generator is fun. Try it and let me know what they name YOU!
In closing, here are some of the nicknames I've collected over the years....Enjoy!

Ro,Ron,Rhonda-Roo,Rhonda-Ron,Jaws,Newanda,Do-ron,Perky,Randa Schmanda(or Randa, for short),Rotunda,RJ , and Ghandi (yes, Ghandi)

I also answer to the name Robin which is my sister's name.
