For those of you lamenting the unfortunate nicknames you find yourselves straddled with, try this out for size:
"Let's name him Benjamin Joseph....but we'll just call him BJ."
Emerge through the fiery trials of puberty with those two letters in that order serving as your primary means of identification and you will have accomplished something.
(Heh...mayhaps I'm overstating things a bit, but I've been called "courageous" by more than one person to keep that nickname into my "growed-up" years.):animwink:
Don't feel too bad, my name is Madaline, my nickname is Mad. I've had people call me every derivitive of Madaline known. Then there are the "older" people who start to sing "Padalin Madaline Home". Embarassing when I was young, still the same at 45.
