WHAT'S IN A NOM?

People always ask me "what's in a name?"

Hmm.... why do they ask me??!!

'Coze i just hate it when people mis pronounce ma name!!

My nom is Sharanya. A common name in India especially in South India( i wuld also say a common nom in Chennai!!). People call me in different ways which i completely hate it. As ma name is pretty common-> 3 ways-> Sharanya/saranya/charanya!!! But ma's is Sharanya.

They call me Saranya or Charanya. I liked to be called only as SHARANYA and not others. Now that people know i hate it if they call me saranya or WATEVA..... they call me now for the fun of it. Mayb jus to see ma anger or me getting irritated!!

If i shout back, they ask me "whats in a name saranya?"(again pronouncing wrongly!!)

But i wonder.... If i pronounce their name incorrectly will they like it?

I do that and ofcourse i've got BUNS!!(a tamil slang;-))..... But when they call me I should act dum and should'n bother much. How mean?!!

People even wonder "why this girl is fuzzing about this?"

I say "Won't they fuzz about this when i call them incorrectly?"

It may seem a silly issue for people. But for "it matters". I have given my idenstity as SHARANYA and not as Saranya!! So i always insist to use the 'h' in my nom where most people miss out.

You call me unkowingly once or twice, Fine. But teasing me and repeating it after correcting you several time, It freaks me out!

I like having pet noms.... like in ma school am called as "shara", college "CR"(thats ma initial) and in home "jhanu" (meaning life)

Pet names-NP(no probs)..... But if u mis spell it...... Man i will freak out and don't you get any "good"(ahem... ahem..)words from me....!!
