Re: My name is Liberty, i like it but......
Funny you should mention how uncommon your name is, because here in central Kentucky it's not uncommon at all; in fact, a Shawna checked me out at Wal-Mart last night (yeah, Nan, that's FOUR visits since November - nyah!).Can identify with the license plate problem tho. I was too old for "license plate thingys" (altho my REAL plate has been DAIVIDH for three cars now) but my son Ian could never find one with his name fifteen years back. Finally his granddad brought him one from New Zealand. Now the "IAN" ones are common as dirt!Like you say, having a unique name can be cool, but it comes at a price.

well, i live in ga and there are some shawnas but they spell them all different like shauna, shana, or shanna and people are always mispronouncing it, which is frustrating, but its cool.

My name is Shauna and i have a friend called Shana. It is quite confusing sometimes, but it's ok. I really like my name!

"...in fact, a Shawna checked me out at Wal-Mart last night..."Oh man, you've got Wal-Mart chicks checkin' you out now? You keep this up, and we'll all be seeing you and Jennifer on the Jerry Springer Show one of these days. :)-- Nanaea

Actually, there are probably some things about us older guys that are attractive to younger women (besides the no-line bifocals, of course), but for the life of me I can't remember them at the moment...Unfortunately, the only "checkin' out" this Shawna did was to take my money and pop her gum a few times agreeably in my direction. With her bleached hair and slashed neckline, she did have a certain trampy allure, but I figure she was more my son's type than mine.Besides, Jennifer was right there... :)
