this reminded me of Dr Pixie McKenna, who is obvs pretty well-known and very successful, but Pixie always struck me as a jarring name for a doctor, altho certainly very memorable - yet upon googling her, it seems Pixie is a childhood nickname, which she uses as her professional name - and her real name is Bernadette!
God I detest Bernadette. Bernie what a horrible name for a woman.this reminded me of Dr Pixie McKenna, who is obvs pretty well-known and very successful, but Pixie always struck me as a jarring name for a doctor, altho certainly very memorable - yet upon googling her, it seems Pixie is a childhood nickname, which she uses as her professional name - and her real name is Bernadette!
it's interesting though, because it just goes to show that having a more unusual, bohemian-stye name doesn't actually impact your career options as it may have done in the past, or as people assume it will. Dr Rainbow and Dr Pixie both sound incredibly unicorn-esque, like they could easily be My Little Pony characters - but they obviously are taken seriously in their careers!
yeah, Bernadette is awful! i think I'd opt for Etta as a nickname tbh, there is no way i would want to be known as Bernie!
Ross
Reminds me of Jade Goody’s idiot mother “Jackiey”.Seen a Benjiee before
Do you mean The RossatronRossell? Rosstopher?
At the beginning of Anne of Green Gables the title character says that she insists on spelling the name with an E as she thinks "Ann" looks ugly, I very much agree with her lol
I knew someone called Lynn-ann (although not sure of spelling)
