I know many of your first names, but sometimes I wish I knew everyone's real first name....
I'll start... I am Rob, Robert, and Robbie (what DW calls me when she wants me to get a spider)... We met when we were 16 yrs. old (married @ 18)... so Robbie has stuck in our 35 year relationship.
Are you willing to tell...?

The story goes like this: my mom had me in the hospital and when the nurse asked for my name, my mom replied, "Lisa". The nurse wrote "Liza". Five months later my family moved to S. Cal. (from Chicago) and my mom didn't have the chance to change the spelling.
Anyway, I always had fun at any Disney park. I know DLR very well and on my way to getting to know WDW just as well. What a big task, but I'm up to it!

Well, I guess everyone knows my name is Eva. And the "e" is long. My middle name is Aline (pronouced: "a-lean"). I'll tell you, I am extremely happy that my name is Eva Aline.

My DD's name is Anne Elizabeth!! :)
My name is Christopher - have been stopher since I was about 9. Prior to that I was Christopher Robin (liked that one) and Christopher Columbus (hated that one). My parents have always called me CP and some other folks have called me just topher (no S) - but I prefer stopher.
When I set up my DIS user name, it was so natural for me to have the 1 at the end, since it's a user name I've used on a different website since 1999 (there was already a stopher on that site when I registered for it - so I became stopher1, and am stopher1 on several sites still today).

What is the tag fairy, and what does she do?
The Tag Fairy is the Queen Mother of all fairies of course! She has a funny sense of humor and when you post something that tickles her she puts it into your profile in whatever color strikes her fancy and it magically appears under your screen name and avatar. Just POOF one day something you said is quoted under your name! These little partial quotes are called tags. I've heard that she's the only one who can put them there in something other than black. You never know when or where she's lurking 'cuz she's a fairy!:goodvibes

Hubby Dude's name is actually Dennis. I don't even remember how or when I started calling him Hubby Dude but I rarely ever use his name, it's always Hubby Dude or Dude.

We live in L.A. and we fell in love with Key West on that trip and hope to retire there someday.

Hence, I'm not squirrely myself, I'm squirrel's girl. Nutso just didn't sound as good as a screenname :rotfl:

Are you willing to tell...?
Goofydad could share your quote. We were marriend when we were 2 years older than you. He goes by the same first names. However, when I want him to do something, I call him by his last name. We are probably a little younger as well. We have only been married 12 years.
I am Natalie by the way.

Only really on nickname as a kid - Munchkin as in the Wizard of OZ. I used to dance and sing with them when the movie was on so it stuck for most of childhood. I finally stopped being called that at about 16 or 17.

My first name is Vickie. Mom to my DS & DD.
As a kid I often get asked if it is short for Victoria, especially by teachers, who would insist that it must be a nickname and that if I asked my parents they were sure my birth certificate would read Victoria. Which was a little frustrating as a kid.
Whenever, I tell someone my name they always ask if it ends with an I or Y and always seemed surprised that it is IE. My Mom thought it was nice to end in ie since both her and my sister's nicknames end in ie, (Ginnie and Debbie.) And it is often mispelled, even by close friends!

That's kind of like me - CHRISTOPHER - but so many feel they have some right to call me Chris...yet another reason why my user name reflects my preferred nickname - stopher. Any time I go to a conference or some function where you get one of those nametags to wear - and the registrar pre-prints Chris on it - I ALWAYS add the last part to complete my name. :rotfl2: Shortening it to Chris bothers me, but stopher doesn't.
