are there any names you have a problem with simply because of how they are pronounced? with me, for instance, the name Brianne/Brianna... since Brianne is spelled like Brian, just with -ne on the end. & the beginning of Brian is said like Bry- & Brianne's beginning said Bree-. same with Michaela. Michael with just an -a on the end, but said differently lol.

stupid, i know. but strange things like that bother me lol.

also, what do you think of people who have children with more than one person, & name the kids very similiar, or the same, names? example: on television i saw a guy (Jayson) who had been married previously & had a child named Jayson Michael- & they call him that, by his first & middle name. the man then re-married & had another son (approximately 8 years later) who they named Jayson whatever Jr.- who they call "Junior."

funny you should mention the name Brianne... that's my name and my entire life (almost 29 years), my family (and consequently anyone who has gotten close with me/them) has always prn my name Bree-in, like Brian, but with a Bree sound in the beginning. usually, for the sake of not having to explain it a billion times, I let people call me Bree- anne. even though it's easier than having people look at you cross eyed when you say Bree-in it still pisses me off bc I feel like it's not my name since we never said it that way. and I HATE when people call me Brianna. there's not even an a on the end.

um, I guess that didn't really answer the question you asked. lol sorry. though I totally agree with the Michaela thing. my BIL is named Michael & they named his daughter after him... but I think he doesn't even know how to spell his own name or something bc on her birth certificate, he wrote Michaila with an i. idiot. lol

and I think that's insane to name a kid the same name as another sibling (half or otherwise) like George Foreman and his 4 kids named George. it's double weird/kind of insulting when it's with a different partner.
