I always wished I had a more interesting name instead of Patricia. I was called Patricia whenever I was in trouble and grew up with being called Patty by my family. My middle name was Ruth which was my grandmother's name and I never really liked it because it made me think of old ladies (like my grandmother). I tried being different by spelling my name differently: Patty, Patti, Pattie, or Trish (no one ever called me that). Then before I was married I was called Loony (Loon was my maiden name) and finally I decided that Pat sounded more adult-like so I go by Pat now.
If I could change my name I think I would like a name like Brigitte or Sabrina because I think they sound interesting and adventurous.

Great post - I am REALLY enjoying these so much.
Some I do, some I do in a comment, some I laugh out loud with enjoyment, some I smile about. I may use them in a blog post as I might have already posted, but I really am getting a lot of them.
This one I particularly loved. :)
Sorry - I just saw that came through as my blogger log in. My mistake, don't want to think this is some stranger you have never heard from before. :)
I'm so glad you told where the Loony part came from. I didn't want to call you Loon and find out it meant somehing else!!!!!
I had great fun coming up with pen names using an online name generator. I, too, experimented with many variations on my name when I was younger. Alva Starr is a favorite character in an old film that very few people have ever seen: "This Property is Condemned"
Where are you getting the prompts? Are you making them up?
From one Patricia to another! LOL...yeah I got tired of writing it all out and I hated being called Patty...So i think in the 9th grade I dropped the Pa much to my parents dismay. Good to know the history Pat!
alvastarr: I am a member of Digital Scrapbook Place (DSP) and two others and I agree to alternate each month in order to come up with the prompts each day. It is a lot of fun and I've made a lot of great friends. You can go here to see where the new thread is each day: http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=258.

I love the name Patricia. I think it's beautiful. I would never change my name. It took me 15 years to finally get used to it--every kid goes through that stage where they want to change their name--and I never want to lose it.
