(Unfortunately, my first middle initial -- I have two -- is H, so guess how *everyone* spells my name... Sigh...)

[populistmom]

27. The original Biblical spelling IS Sarah, but...

I understand. I've had my 'h' left off many times and it drives me nuts. Besides, out of all the Sara(h) songs out there, and you know there's a few, Sara (by Fleetwood Mac) is my favorite, so Sara's cool too.

In Hebrew, if I'm not mistaken.

My dad used to sing that to me when I was a little girl. :)

[populistmom]

172. It does mean "princess"

Actually, if you put my first and middle together, it's "Princess, chosen by God" but then again, that's a lot of pressure to live up to. :) But I can try I suppose.

[mvd]

188. Sarah's a fave of mine

It's a nice-sounding name and goes fine with my last name. I don't mind it.

[kiahzero]

95. Only appropriate in formal circumstances

I go by Matt, unless it's something where I want to sound somewhat dignified. Matthew just sounds too repressive for normal conversations for me.

[mvd]

117. I know what you mean

I prefer Matt because Matthew is a very formal-sounding name - plus, when called out, Matthew sounds like the person is angry at me. :-)

[mvd]

to let anyone make an S of me, I suppose your version is more technically accurate.

Sadly, people keep refering to me as 'SOTrick,' 'SodderRick,' 'So...teric' or some other strange iteration. I had no idea this was so incredibly baffling to people. :shrug:

The day I was released, my mom finally filled out the birth certificate. My dad then came in five minutes later and said he wanted to name me Jennifer, but my mom said tough, too late, she's Lisa now, lol!

Actually, if I could go back and change my name to anything I want, I'd wish it were Laura. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that name!
