If I should ever change my name
Tuesday, 11. September 2007, 19:11:45
I can no longer recall what program it was, or what it was about, but I do remember the name of one of the guests.
It was Rosetta Sten. Sten in Swedish means stone. Rosetta Stone.
What am I on about? Read about the Rosetta stone here.
Kudo's to Rosetta's parents!
(Made me think of a poor Eva Brun I met once (and yes, brun in Swedish means brown. Or braun in German.).)

Would you ever change your name? rose-marie is a

Thanks
I used to hate my name when I was younger, but now i've grown accustomed to it. I'm named after my two grandmothers, so I think I'll stick with rose-marie for a while longer.

'Mart' is ok, but I've never been comfortable with 'Martin'
rose-marie # 11. September 2007, 21:50
There's nothing wrong with Martin! Why are you uncomfortable with that? (Presuming that's your real name.)

It is my real name, though.

There is an actor here named Martin Lawrence (I'm not sure how to spell his last name.)

It's interesting how differently names can be looked upon... Martin is a very common name in Sweden - especially for our generation.

@ Mart: yes Martin... there's nothing wrong with your name. you have a nice name, Martin!
@ Rick : Chevvy? Harley?

Actually, that was one of the reasons I really didn't like my name. Only old (ok, maybe middle-aged) women are called Rose-Marie. I still haven't met anybody my age or younger with that name in Sweden. It seems to be more popular in other parts of Europe, though.

better go and make a sorry PM
oh i've just realized that Mart said on his comment that he hasn't met anyone named Martin younger than him...

She was bored one night (and maybe a litte bit cuckoo too), so she snuck into several bedrooms and stole people's false teeth.
The next morning she showed up at breakfast with a bag, shouting: "Let's play bingo!" while reaching into the bag and fishing out a set of false teeth.

Whenever I hear Chevy, I think of Chevy Chase - and then my mind wanders on to Fletch.

Thank you for your input! I'm not changing my name anytime soon, and certainly not to Nefertiti. (Do people in Egypt still use Nefertiti as a name?)
Even though the name itself is beautiful, I would feel like an impostor!
