lol yeh, in my english class 2 years ago there were NINE Davids!!, ie 1/3 of the class was called David. It was pretty confusing.

NINE Davids????? :eek:

My goodness it must've been confusing! Hehe no one has my name :tongue:

I picked it :tongue:

pretty flipping old I've only seen retired people with my name :wink:

Nice name though :biggrin:

If you don't mind my asking, HOW did you get to pick your own name? 0_ó
...Considering that you'd have to be two years old before saying much at all?
It would kinda amuse me though, having a baby simply called "it"... :biggrin:

And if it's a recent thing, was it a legal name change or just a slighty more permanent self-assigned nickname?

Lol! - I lived in Hong Kong til I was 8 and so basically chose my English name when I came over :biggrin:

but back then the only names I knew were those from my English textbooks and they were names like Mary and Ann and Betty! - I was actually gonna choose Kitty :tongue:

(you know, Hello Kitty - I was only 8!) - then I switched to Mary, then my mum just gave me a list of English names at the back of a Dictionary and I liked the name Iris :biggrin:

and of course, back then I could hardly speak English so couldn't pick a ridiculously long name or I wouldn't have been able to spell it! Think at one point I must've picked something like "Elizabeth" or "Samantha" or summit - something long anyway! - and my mum was like "Can you spell it then?" and I was like "Err no." So Iris it is!

And my passport didn't say the name Iris til some time last year - so my GCSE certs all have my Chinese name on and there's a lot of confusion in schools too when new teachers come and do the register!

oh the feel of things at emma was good was it? Hopefully you'll get to experience some more of it, explore all the parts you havent explored yet......see all parts of it completely uncovered. It's nice when you get to see that type of thing :wink:

Ahh please stop.

I wish *sigh* Emma's a dream - always has been. I'll never get in though so I guess I don't have much to worry about.
