Your 1920’s Name is: |

Hey, it’s better than Jasmine, which is what my neighbor (after 4 years) continues to call me. He is not old, senile or hard of hearing. And yet, it is Jasmine this and Jasmine that. P.S. My name is not Jasmine!
So, now it’s a big joke and Jason has started calling me “Jazz” for short. “Hey, Jazzy.” “What’s up, Jazz?” “Oh, C’mon, Jazz, it’s not that bad.”
Ugh! I’d much rather prefer my 1920’s name, thank you very much. By the way, how weird and simultaneously awesome is Blogthings? According to them, my life is 65% perfect, I am 20% cynical, the mythological creature I am most like is a centaur, and my famous last words will be “Nice Doggy.” ‘Nuff said.

I haven’t looked up 1920s name yet, but I just thought I would tell you that having your neighbor call you the wrong name isn’t as bad as having your aunt (in-law) call you the wrong name for 7 years now. She calls me Kylie. At least she is close. :)

“Good Heavens!” cried Leota Isabella when she realized her knickers were in a bunch…
sigh. Why does my 1920s name sound like a really old, cranky woman?! Oh, I know why! I bet it’s because my father-in-law still sometimes calls my five year old by a name nowhere close to what we graced him with!

My husband continues to call our friend Rachel when her name is Raquel. I know they are close but they are definitely not the SAME. She never says anything about it, not even when he incorrectly introduced her to some of our friends at the house this weekend. I was mortified. I’m bad with names but I always admit when I’ve forgotten a person’s name. It’s better to ask than to continue to look like an a-hole f-ing it up time and time again. Sorry I haven’t been by your blog in a while, Jazz-meister.

Mine is Clarabelle, which is funny because that is what I always call my mom (her name is claire). I love your famous last words, by the way!!!

i’ve heard of a formula for working out your matinee idol name:
you mother’s maiden name and the name of the street you lived in as a child - in whatever order sounds best.
this makes my husband ‘lovelace haynes’ and me ‘evans longfield’ - pretty good, huh?
