Do you find it weird when people say your name?
My parents don't call me Marisa, they have this short Mexican name for me. My softball coaches call me either Maris or Marisa in Spanish. The only time I do hear my name is at school, but when other people call me by my name, its so weird hearing it.

lol I know how you feel xD When I think about it, there are times when it does seem weird when people call my name because when it comes to...
My parents: They call me "Jo" (Very short term for my name Marjorie)
Relatives: They call me "Marge" or my name Marjorie
Friends: Most of them call me "Marmar," and I have at least 5 other nicknames as well.
You have a point there haha.
Thanks so much for posting this question...peace!

Kind of. I have a foreign name..and so when I hear it on the radio or something it really turns my head. I've only heard it twice. Once on the radio. And once on a cruise. A girl said her name and it was so weird to hear her say the same name as mine.

People always call me by my real name at school.. My family calls me a nickname though. But no, I don't find it too weird.

Yeah. I go by Kati and my actually names Katilian. So it's really weird when my orthodontist and doctor say it. The only person that calls me Katilian is my mom.

It depends. It's fine if it's someone I know. But sometimes people I've never seen before will call me by name. It's kind of creepy.

I have a "different" name at school too, just like you!! And yes, it is weird, especially when my parents call me by my real name in front of my school friends, and they're super confused.

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet."
I find it weird that it is the title given to me, that people associate my existence with the name "Lizzy".

My family and relatives call me by my real name (which is my second name). At school and other places, they call me by my first name. Yeah, It feels awkward when I hear my classmates call me by my real name. It's like my real name is reserved for my family only lol

Haha nope. Unless it's someone I've never, ever seen before. It happens sometimes lol.
