Yeah, that's a long one!

And for all the Kimberlys I know, most of them have one of two middle names: Dawn (like me) or Ann.

But the kicker is, 11 months after I was born, my sister was born, and does SHE get a super-common name? Nooooo. She gets Kandye (not Kandace, Kandye, pronounced candy) - my brother comes along and gets Kenny - not Kenneth. So she went extreme on both ends. I was the only one who could ever find personalized crap like pencils and nightlights, but I couldn't ever be "just Kim" in school.

Anyone else notice she had 3 "K" kids - KKK - and we lived in the south, too. WHAT WAS SHE THINKING?!?!? Clearly, she wasn't. 

ANYWAYYY - none of my 3 subs has a clicky truck, nor does my mother's main account, but she bought a gift sub for herself (on 3/28) and it's showing that her welcome box should've been delivered TODAY.  I just saw this, so as soon as it's not too late/early to call her I need to find out what she got!  They shipped it on the first!  My welcome boxes always show up super late in the month...

Actually yes, we are fraternal twins (I had to look it up to make sure it means dizygotic)

This is so exciting that you also had twins... now you are making me hope that I may end up having twins my self some day! Growing up with a twin sister made me so happy, I would love my kids to have a best friend since even before they are born, exactly like my sister and I had each other!

Twins are a LOT of work... thank God I had my mom who had already gone through it! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  My husband said "I hope it's twins" when we found out I was pregnant.  I was horrified at the thought.. he of course got his way.  I was horrified the entire pregnancy.. worried something was going to go wrong and worrying about all that could happen.  We had to get a bigger house etc.  Thankfully they weren't horrible (colic etc) and get along pretty well.  I actually didn't like being a twin.  People were always comparing us and asking if we felt each others pain.  Our personalities are so different and then having to be tied to that person everywhere I went and share everything.. it was difficult.  We get along MUCH BETTER now that we aren't sharing a bedroom.. which we did.. until we were 22!! I hope my daughters like it more than I did!

My mom named my sister Natalya (I think there was a gymnast or a tennis player or something at the time with that name) and my brother Nicholas.  You'd think we were Russian!  After she named me Jessica, the doctor said "You should have named her Natasha!" and my mom says she was kicking herself.  But then I might have gotten "Rocky and Bullwinkle" my whole life.  Now my last name starts with and R.  On my badge for work it just says Jessica R.  and a messenger once said "Is that for Jessica Rabbit?"  My first thought "OH!!! NICE!!" and then "wait a minute.. was that a pick up line??"

Ooh, a what were they thinking family: My day's family. He's one of three boys. They're Larry, Terry, and Gary. Larry's wife is named Mary. (I am glad my middle name is my *middle* name. I like it because it's unusual and has a cool meaning, but it's a stripper name, which I guess is fitting, now that I think about it, because the town where I was born has an epic number of strip clubs due to the state's free speech laws.)

 

[queenofperil]

My name is almost never pronounced correctly. Even my own grandfather says it wrong. -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. I hated it growing up because I'd get made fun of by the other kids when teachers said it wrong, and I didn't have many friends in school. So it was just that much more fuel in the getting picked on fire. I used to swear that I'd change it as soon as I could. I absolutely would if my father wouldn't disown me for it. Ugh. Parents.

Yeah!  My mom's siblings are Terry, Jerry and Cherrie.  They named her Linda and she was so upset it didn't rhyme they let her pick the name of her youngest sister... Brenda.. I guess that's the closest you can get to Linda? Haha

I'm gonna need all you early box getting ladies to stalk your mailmen and immediately post the contents of you boxes. You know...for science. Edit: The latest spoiler is the Supergoop Anti Aging Eye Cream. I wouldn't care to get this, unfortunately. [/quot I don't think that I've posted here very often; awwww shucks, who am I kidding?! I know I haven't posted much, in fact I don't even think I've done the introduction requirement (me a naughty girl!) However, I love to read these and keep up with y' all regularly. One of the most enjoyable aspects of tagging along here is that I can always always count on you for a good chuckle or laugh. Your sense of humor is awesome! Keep up the good work and let your witty flag fly!

Im Portuguese on my mother's side. She has the middle name Felisberta and she hates it. It was my great grandmothers name. Her first name is pretty though, Eliana. Its different. I haven't found another person with the same spelling. Honestly, some of the Portuguese names are so strange. lol

There is no way to guarantee different boxes, but making your profiles different helps. Also there are usually over 30 box variations so the chances are slim of getting doubles (although a few have been unlucky and gotten a few doubles!).

Thank you so much ill see how first month goes and decide /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think the quote code got messed up, but I'm assuming you were trying to reply to me. Even if you weren't, I'll take the compliment anyway! Thank you. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

[luvmymeg]

oh no! I'm just messing up more and more! And yes queen of parallel I was replying to you. (I thought I'd leave the AutoCorrect in this reply to since I think it's hysterical out-of-print does sometimes) Not quite sure how to do this on an android! smartphone I'm technologically challenged.

 

[luvmymeg]

See what I mean with the auto correct? Oh Lord I give up for now and will happily just continue reading......sigh :/

 

[hiheather]

All these awesome names on here! I have such a boring name, Heather. Sucky since people either think of Heathers or of cheerleaders for my name. My parents wanted to name me Alexis after Dynasty but my dad thought that would give people the wrong idea about me considering how the character on the show was. I want to name my daughter, when and if I have one, Bentley. But stupid Teen Mom ruined that for me and now it is such a popular name. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[decayeddoll82]

Just so you guys know I hate being wait listed. Blah. My name is Ashley. I think there were 5 in my graduating class with 2 being Ashley Nicole.lol If id had daughters I wanted to name them amaryllis grace and brenna Reilly. My sons names are nick and will. Lol. Hubby wouldn't let me name them odd stuff.
