in reply to a message by sarah jeanne duchek
Unfortunately, the letters in your name weren't predisposed to produce any truly complimentary phrases, so instead of anagramming your name into a phrase, I anagrammed it into the following names:
Shandae June Hacker
Jerecah Duena Hanks
Jenesha Andrea Huck
Shandee Jana Hucker
Janene Dasha Hucker
Janeen Dasha Hucker
Shanda Jeane Hucker
Jehanna Darcee Husk
Annuka Cheresh Jade
Annaka Cheresh Jude
Cheresh Juana Kaden
You're entitled to use any of the above, pretty names as your own special "alias", Sarah. Choose the name you like best, and tell us why. :)

Thank you! My 2 favorites were Anaka Cheresh Jude and Anuka Cheresh Jade. My letters were tough to work with! What do you think of the name Andersen of a girl or boy? Can you find any meaning behind it?

Definitely do NOT ever consider giving the name "Andersen" to a girl, please.
I know it's very trendy these days to give surnames as first names to girls, but I really draw the line at any name that means "son of so-and-so" for a girl. And "Andersen" means "son of Andrew".
I don't think that Andersdottir ("daughter of Andrew") would make a cool name for a girl, either.
For a boy, I prefer simply "Ander" as a first name. I mean, if the boys' father isn't named "Andrew", then giving the kid a name that means "son of Andrew" might raise a few eyebrows. (As well as possibly raise the need for a DNA paternity test).

I asked because it was my mother's maiden name, and I thought it would be cute to call a girl Andie. I also love the name Mackenzie for a girl, and that also means son of someone, doesn't it?

Hi, my name is Andie and I'm a girl. I love my name, Andie is my full name. People always ask me "Is your name short for Andrea?" and that is really annoying!

Yes you're right, "Mackenzie" is another one of those "son of" names. Personally, I prefer just plain "Kenzie" for a girl, which drops the "son of" meaning.
I dunno, it just sounds more feminine to me. Especially since you know that nobody is going to nickname "Kenzie" to "Mac" -- a distinct possibility with the name "Mackenzie".

Brings back a nostalgic glimpse of Eastern Europe, late '60's:
DU-CHEK! SVO-BO-DA! ...more or less.

The czech is in the mail...or is that the other way around?

It's Czech. It used to be Dubchek, as in Alexander Dubchek, but when my great great grandparents came to America, they dropped the b as to not be discriminated against.

...which certainly would have fooled almost anyone into thinking the name was Dutch, not Eastern European, except the Infant Jesus of Prague on the console TV gave them away. :)
(Sorry. Many years ago (70's)I lived in Cleveland for two years, where me and the black draftsman were the only non-Catholic, non-Eastern European-named people out of 30 staff in our office. The people were nice, the food at the potlucks was great, but I'd never experienced being a "minority" before. And then there was the day of the office lunch picnic, when they asked me to bring chips and, without thinking, asked my draftsman friend to bring a watermelon. Ooooo...)

Sarah, I gotta agree with Nan that I wouldn't use "Andersen" for a girl, for the reason she cited. It's okay for a boy, tho. Actually, she suggested "Ander", but I believe the correct Scandinavian (Swedish?) version of Andrew is "Anders" (with the "s").
By the way, back in Cleveland we finally had Calvin bring the chips, I brought a watermelon (on the bus!), and we laughed about it afterwards.

@@@@ You're right, of course, Daividh. I guess I must've still been thinking "Andersen" and visualizing "Ander's" instead of "Anders". Should've been thinking "Anagrams!", then I would've remembered that name correctly. :)

Believe me, the largest per capita consumtion of watermelon has gotta be in Greece during summer. Incredible how we've so far avoided being stereotyped as such. You should try it with feta cheese, an unlikely yet tasty combination.

"Feta makes it bettah!"
That's the slogan that I predict will become the new catchphrase of the year, when PriaposLovs realizes his true calling as Spokesman for the Feta Cheese Industry. :)

Gotta try this, but where does one find a watermelon in New York in February?

Pavlos 3:16 would be a natural as a feta cheese spokesman. I know there are many times when he really gets MY goat. :>
So Pav, 'Ol Olive Pit, how does one eat feta cheese with watermelon? A bite of melon, then a bite of feta? Or do you rub the feta around the rim of the watermelon slice to make a festive Fetarita?
