what is in a name

whats in a name?

Current mood:  adored

Hi there guys and girls
 
I have decided to do a blog on baby names for the simple reason that i meet different people in all walks of life and i get to hear what name they have decided to give their little bundle of joy.  Some names have made me smile some names have made me laugh silently of course when the company has gone and others well have left me with a confused look on my face.
 
Well firstly you know me as vicky on myspace but my full name is wait for it(while i take a deep breath) here i go Victoria Edwina Catherine. Victoria well that was my mums idea she named me after the queen (dont ask me why)  Edwina my fathers name was edward and the female version is edwina so i quite like that part and lastly Catherine was yet again after another queen Catherine was one of henry the 8’s wives and my nana was named catherine.  I have actually learned to love my name and after all its my indentity andd its part of who i am. 
 
I asked mum recently if she could name me again she said that when she was pregnant on me dad wanted to name me after a car.  Oh god i cringed when i heard this hmm let me guess ford nissan skoda and before i knew it she told me
MERCEDES. Mercedes i screamed mercedes cool i said oh darn why didnt you call me mercedes i said now at this point mum looked at me shocked you like the name well yeah i screamed. Oh mercedes rogers god that would have been cool. to say the least.  I have to say that is such a cool name and if i ever got to have a wee baba or have a girl pet i would name her mercedes.
 
But i have to say i have heard different names for babies.  I was in the chemist ages ago and i met a yummy mummy.  She looked great and blissfully in love with her little baby.  I wnet over cooed at the baby and asked mummy what the babys name was.  Ava she said oh wow such a beautiful name for such a beautiful baby.  No seriously ava its such a nice name and just rolls off the tongue its so nice.
 
I have to say i have my own baby name favourites so the list goes as follows. for the boys. Max Sam Julian Hugh, Jack, Homer, (there is a greek god called homer and yes this would be also used as a simpsons reference)   Ellis darwin and baz.  These names are so nice and can be the making of any man and as my father use to say you name is the best describtion of who you are. thanks dad.
 
Now for my girl names these would be my favourite girls names Sasha, Steph, Claire, Sarah, Tara, Layla, Siobhan, Norah, Kate. Kirsten.  These names are nice without sounding to much like a slapper or a chav.

Im not going to names names here but in my town certain people have given their children ahem certain chav like names like princess, minx, but i think if you are going to give someone a name like that its bound to cause trouble for both parent and child.  I actually read somewhere that pete wentz of fall out boy named his baby boy bronx mougwli.  When i first heard this name i nearly pmsl so much i hurt my ribs.  I can just imagine that poor kid on his first day of school.

Little boy 1 hey new kid whats your name?

BM Bronx Mougwli

Little boy 1 Hmm im very confused to why your mummy and daddy gave you such a horrable name.

Kids can be so cruel. I know but word up to pete wentz could yu not have given your little boy a better name i heard jack is a cool name as in Jack Sparrow.  God young people these days they never learn.

Oh if i could add one more name for the girls list aphrodite.  Why you ask Aphrodite was the greek goddess of love. 
Stay happy folks and enjoy my blog.

how technology rocks my world

here comes a big sigh SIGH.  I have been having a few bad days over over mainly to do with the fact that the resturant is quite so when its quite in work i tend to be a little bit loud and annoying.  Im like one of those annoying kids that keeps asking questions or i tend to grab the sweeping brush and dance around with it.

 

Today was no different we have an ipod in work and it has thousands on it so just out of sheer devilment i decided to go into the kitchen and sing its raining men.  Looking back at it it was so funny me doing my little dance while one of the guys broke his shite laughing i dont know wheter he was laughing at my dancing or wheter it was because of the fact that its raining men was playing in the background.  But at say the least i love entertaining myself in little ways.

 

The head chef is the same hes goes into hyper mood and starts moving all my equipment in the bar but i dare not go near his kitchen.  hell have no fury like a chef angry.  All the chefs i work with are great fun and hard workers to i remember i use to work in a hotel and i would always try and cause trouble with my partner in crime a former waitress we would always cause chaos just by smiling at the chef and asking him questions about this that and the other and than i would pretend not to listen to him and that pissed him off quite a lot.

 

Still though when you are in the resturant trade and you have nothing to do i always do the following.

lift crates its a great way to get the muscles working and to get rid of the bingo wings.

think of new ideas for cocktails i have spend many a drunk night doing this and its a great way to get people interested in cocktails or shots in fact if you are all good boys and girls i will give you my recipe for a stoker cocktail. plus this one is for the girls its yum.

Cleaning frenzy  Its shows to your boss that you keep a tidy workplace and if you are not fond of cleaning pick you a clean teacloth get some hot water and polish some glasses.

This one is my personal favourite i write ideas and doddles for my upcoming blog i think my blog speaks for itself when you read it.

I have notice though over last while how the network scene seems to be a bit quite of late.  i tell you this because i recently checkedin myspace account and have got back in contact with a mate that lives in the land of oz.  Its great now that we are back in contact and i will say this  have missed this person lots so i am quite glad that i never shut down myspace account.  I will say this though coming froma person who never did get the whole netwroking social sites they are brill and so cool the way you can look for people in just the click of a mouse.

Hmm but it also makes you wonder what people did without networking sites how did everyone stay in contact with eachother.  Before you say it yes i know everyone have a phone and could always write a letter but before all that did everyone actually stay in contact with each other.  I think not.  I remember spending hours writing letters to my so called friends but they never got back to me.  Anytime i rang them and asked them did you get my letter and it was always the say old thing its got lost in the post yeah right bollox to that thats what i say.

 

I have to say i like the whole thing of skybe messenger and webcams its a great way of staying in contact with people and friends abroad as i just found out this week.  I think without my messenger i would be so lost and so sad.

good friends and great music a happy combination

hello gang

 

Hope your all well and happy.  Oh my god i have been the worst friend in the world of late.  With me doing the long hours in the resturant i have lost all commen decency of getting back to my friends via email text message and phone call.  So to say the least my friend from the land of OZ was online tonight and to say the least i am in much better form.

 

i was actually thinking what did people do before email and skyb and before even all that mobile phones.  i remember when i was younger the only way to get in touch with people was snail mail.  i remember spending hours writing letters and sending them to my friends in the country and if they were not here i would send them letters abroad nine times out of 10 i never got a reply but i am thinking its down to sheer laziness.  on their half not mine.

 

This will be only a short blog tonight as i have a few things to do in the morning and my day will be starting early.  So i will leave you with this you tube clip this song brings back many happy memories for me so i hope you enjoy it.
