How’s that for a name..

my friend called her daughter mercedes, but they have always called her sadie for short, i have never understood why people name their child one thing and insist everyone calls it something else

I agree Lorri.  I know of a Jeanine who has been called Nina by everybody since the day she was born (at her parents' insistence) and a Henry who has always been called Harry.  (A Royal trait I believe!).

My husband is a car obsessive and works for Lotus- he has suggested Elise as a name if we ever have a girl.  Audi and Mercedes (which means Grace) were names before the cars and Portia (how Porsche is pronounced) is a name.

My uncle is a biker and my cousin has the middle name Harley, I also have cousins with the names Harrison, Dana and Coral- after Mr Ford, the X files and greyhound racing!

I have taught kids with the names Bruce Lee, Rosie Lee, Christopher Lee and Sade and have got one starting school this year called Anakin (will have to keep an eye on him as he grows up!).
