well this is, my parents have always called me Lawrie and have wanted me to be known as Lawrie, yet they put Lawrence on my birth certificate grrr!

go on, whats your name?!

[smileymongoose1988]

LOL im Leanna, my mum picked it because she wanted me to have a unique name, as much as it is a nice name, it's very annoying when i want to get things with my name on it and it's not there, the closest they have is Leanne or Leah! maybe your parents could change it by deed poll? would that be allowed?

you see thats a top name, well cute!

I dont want to change it now, 25 years ive had im sure I can cope haha

[smileymongoose1988]

LOL but i get sad because there's no one out there who shares the same name as me! , therefore any other name other than mine is wayyy better! i thought lawrie was a scottish name, with the way it's spelt...:S

that makes you unique! haha well good! Imagine a boring name such as Emma (sorry any Emma`s here)

well, im yorkshire through and through (well me and my parents and granparents) but my mum named me after the Author Laurie Lee but decided to change the spelling of the name to stop any confusion if I ever got famous

[smileymongoose1988]

aww i love the name Emma! sooo lovely! but again i do agree that it is a very popular name, god imagine if you had loads of friends called Emma, you would have to give them all nicknames so you would know which one is which
awww bless, does this mean that Laurie is also short for Laurence? speaking of which, why is there an alternative spelling to Lawrence? i guess you do have a very good point! , don't mean to sound stereotypical, but do you talk like the people from emmerdale? haha! i bet you get asked that all the time XD

regarding the spelling thing, I have no idea! I hate Lawrence, its far too posh to say the least haha

now you see Emmerdale, well I dont notice any accent! Im sorry for dropping this is I was on a BBC radio Leeds programme a few months back and everyone said I sounded posh

[smileymongoose1988]

ooh get you and ur BBC leeds hehe, how come you were on there? *tries saying Lawrence* it does sound quite posh, i imagine it to be something you would call your cuddly bear XD, one of those old bears! from some bits of emmerdale that i had to watch it just sounds northern lol, maybe with a twinge of the ol' yorkshire, if we are going to "name-drop", ive been on greg james' show once i have the recording of it somewhere on my old phone

promoting a charity walk me and mates were organising!

Cuddly bears?! Lump of coal I had! As for Emmerdale ive been on when I was young wee lad as they used to film in my old area, I once nearly ended up on Moyles show years and years ago due to something regarding this place

[smileymongoose1988]

ah cool did u get to raise a lot of money for it? LOL! i bet you did cherish your lump of coal, or named it pet rock , im always tempted to go on carpark catchphrase but im asleep when they do it, i'm not a morning person... and plus i'm worried i wouldn't get any answers right awww bless ur cottons, am guessing you was an extra? cuddly bears rock, even though i'm 20 , the kind you see at the back of magazines advertising antique bears!

we think we have raised £5k, but the event nearly got cancelled a month before it was due to happen as Sky moved the game that we was to two days earlier, so we lost a lot of participants and money but we didnt do bad!

IIRC they were filming on the town street and i was with my parents walking along and they filmed us, muppets


i thought I was a morning person until ive had to be at work at 8am a few times recently, i look like a horror movie

awwww, you rock chuck! teddies dear me tho

[Bonanzoid]

smileymongoose1988 - I've no problem with you, you seem pretty nice so far. But, I'm going to have to point you to the Forum Rules which state that text language (perhaps in particular 'lol) are forbidden.

I don't want to be seen to piss on your parade, but better you change it now than later.

I dont even know Yorkshire dialetc to be fair! Leeds doesnt have much of a major accent, just sound a bit broad!

bed time for me cya

[smileymongoose1988]

nice! is there even such thing as yorkshire dialect?

night night!

[MK Chris]

i get sad because there's no one out there who shares the same name as me!

That's a good thing though.

[Yudster]

I deplore this trend of making up names. Its pretentious and self-absorbed.

[smileymongoose1988]

Topher: well the only good thing i can think of is that it could be used as an ice breaker, although i wouldn't know where my name originally comes from

Yudster: does this mean that my name is self-absorbed and pretentious...?

i don't like stupid names, i.e. famous celebrities' children being named after places, or objects, i mean WHY?! i feel sorry for the kids to be honest,imagine the stick they could be getting as they grow up...

xx

[MK Chris]

I'm sure I knew someone called Leanna once, I've definitely heard it before anyway.

[smileymongoose1988]

Hehe, I think there was a character in a programme called Hope and Glory, with Lenny Henry as the headmaster, who had that name too. Was wondering whether anyone remembers that show? or is it just me...?

[Yudster]

Yudster: does this mean that my name is self-absorbed and pretentious...?

No, your name is just a meaningless made-up group of letters. The pretentious bit is the idea that using an arbitrary made up group of letters as a name is a clever thing to do. But its very fashionable, lots of people are doing it.

[smileymongoose1988]

ahhh, i feel like i have opened a can of worms...
