I find that sometimes a name that I would normally dislike, changes when I come across someone with that name who is a good person. You like them, so you grow to like their name.


That happened to me today. I was watchign Extreme Makeover Home Edition and the episode was about an 8 year old girl with cancer, named Jenessa Nicole, but called Boey. She was amazing, and I found out at the end of the episode that she passed away in December. Just thought it was interesting how a person can really change the perspective on a name.

I don't know... Bridget Zoe nn Boey? Not something i would use but after this episode I just find the name adorable!

Is that pronounced like David Bowie? I'm not sure I could get excited about it (even as a nn,) but cute isn't really me. (I think it has to do with being tiny and blonde for the first 26 years of my life..."cute" got to be the bane of my existence. Hey, I finally found an upside to my extra weight! Whoo-hoo!)
