Cot O'Holyn????

[nativetxn]

I had a physical and had to have some blood work done so I went to the lab.

As I sat there leafing through <u>People</u> magazine a young man dressed in scrubs came in to the waiting room and announced, <b>Cot O'Holyn?</b>

Interesting name. I looked around at my neighbors in the waiting room and they looked around looking for this "Cot" person.

No one rose and volunteered to go with the young man. Before I went back to reading that <u>People</u> magazine, I asked my neighbor, "Did he say Cot O'holyn?" My neighbor agreed that it sounded like the name he had called.

Continued looking at the pictures in People magazine and a few moments later the young man returned to the waiting room and said, "Okay, let's try it this way....<i><b>Johnson???</i></b>

Apparently the "o" in the name <i>Katholyn</i> confused him.

I've been called Kathleen and Katherine and even Kathy (please don't call me Kathy) but Cot O'Holyn was a new one for me

LOL, kath!!

Yeah I get some pretty funky pronunciations too.

It's Tausha - (Ta-sha) I've been called To-sha, Tay-sha, ta-ew-sha but the best was went I went up for a scholarship in high school.

Ta-Shew-A - apparently they thought the U was after the sh. Go figure.

Welcome Cot O'hoyln - I am Tashua

It's funny enough that he got "Cot O'Holyn" from your name, but the image of a bunch of people in the waiting room looking at each other curiously about such a strange name made me laugh even harder. I think you may have a new nickname here, Katholyn.

Oh my!!! Hi there Cot!!! My name is Eileen!!! Yep I get that one all the time, but it is no where as bad as Cot!

 

[Otto's Doll]

Oh, Katholyn, how funny! I love your name, btw.

 

[catsrule]

Geez, and I thought getting called Mary instead of Mary Jo all the time was bad.

 

[nativetxn]

Hey! Tashewa and Eileen. We should have a DIS meet

 

[msdznyduck]

Helenabear...........I get Eileen all the time, as well as Ellen.
I knew someone a few years ago named Eliane (close, but......)
she pronounced it "Elly-anne"

Hey!!! What's wrong with Kathy?



Nice to meet you, Cot!

 

[nativetxn]

My sil's name is Kathy. In fact, her name is Kathryn Diane Johnson and my name is <i>Katholyn</i> Diane Johnson.

Just don't call me Kathy

Oh thats funny! Even knowing that is your name, I didnt catch on to the Cot O'Holyn.
I feel your pain. While Caitlin is a very popular name now, 20-25 years ago it wasnt. I dreaded the first day of school every year because I knew the teacher would never get it right. Ive been called, Katie Lyn(I actually do go by Katie), Cat-lyn, Catalina, Katrina...you name it, I think Ive been called it.
