Re: What are your experiences with your name?
1: What is your name?
Karly-Jo/Karly2: Do you like your name?
Karly is okay.3: How popular/rare was your name when you were born?
Carly got a boom in the 80's/90's; however, I was named after my father and grandfather Karl.4: Have you ever been bullied for your name?
Mostly by myself. I don't recall people bullying BECAUSE of my name. But people would certainly say my name with emphasis/tones that I FELT like they were implying I had a dumb name. I also had my name rhymed with everything. -Jo the hobo, etc. Or Manly-Jo. At one point: Curly-Jew.
I think I would have always been bullied though- I'm a strange person.
5: Have you ever been able to buy lunch bags, posters, necklaces ect. with your name on without having to personalize them?
I've seen Karly before. I don't really care to have my name on things.7: Do you know anyone else with your name or have you ever met anyone with the same name personally?
I have met Karlys.8: Have you ever wished you had a different name?
Yep. Even now I sometimes think about dropping the Jo legally, but people only call me Karly so it isn't really necessary.9: Do you use nicknames?
People call me Kar, Karkar, Karkeys.10: Do people misspell your name?
People always misspell and mishear everything.
I've given a verbal order to a nurse before and she wrote my first name down as Cora Lee ?????
I get called Kelly, I get spelled Carley all the time. If I say Karly with a K they spell it Karlie or Karley.... I really just let them decide what my name is that day.
