this article as a
Your name is a big deal. In most cases, it
stays with you for life. You mention it several times each day,
and other people call your name just as often. Your name sometimes
describes how you look and act, too, as in “She just doesn’t
look like a Martha.” Nicknames can get even more descriptive:
Too Tall Jones, Pee Wee Reese, Fats Domino.
The stories you sent
us about your names are terrific. Some are outrageous, other sentimental,
others unbelievable.
Thanks to everyone who sent in a story. The
judges’ selections
are on these pages, plus a few others that we didn't have room
to print in the magazine.
— Michael E.C.
