What’s in a name?

Posted on July 08, 2008 by Angela

I would like to clear something up…

My name is ANGELA (ˈan-jə-lə).

Not Angie. Not Andrea. Not Ann. Not Annie. Not Amy. Not Amelia. Not Angel.

It’s Angela. A-N-G-E-L-A. ANGELA!!!!!!!

Why can’t anyone get that right? In the last week, I have been called almost every name beginning with the letter “A” that is not the name Angela.

If you don’t like the name “Angela” you are more than welcome to take it up with my parents because they named me. But for goodness sake, please just get my name right.

    I love the name Angela.
    I chose it as my confirmation name because I always wanted it to be my real name :)

  2. Angela says:

    ha ha aw, that’s funny because I was going to choose the name Julie. Julie’s a family name.

  3. Doug says:

    Just start callin everyone else by other names. They’ll get the hint.

    And it might be fun in the process.

    Thankfully I don’t think I’ve ever butchered your name, but I tend to do that to others because I know a lot of . Like the name “Mike”. I must know a gazillion Mikes so now with every new one, I just give them a new one that I try and make them okay with. (#):)

    For a minute, I was thinking, “who the hell is he talking to?”

  7. I know what you are going through because I have an ethnic name and nobody knows how to say it. But then againt he spelling of it looks like a fist fool of spoons falling down a flight of stairs.

  8. Angela says:

    If my name was complicated to pronounce, I’d probably be more tolerate. Maybe.
