I often avoid saying people's names, just gesturing to explain who I want to talk to. I also often get people's names "wrong" in that I use their full name as opposed to their nickname which bothers many people... <br /><br />I also changed my first name when I was 18 (for language reasons, it was unpronouncable in English). It did not bother me at all. I feel no attachment to my name, though other people's reactions indicate I should. Maybe that's part of a similar problem.Chrishttp://schoolingandeducation.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-30814285868884975942011-03-02T00:36:37.445-05:002011-03-02T00:36:37.445-05:00Aaaah,very useful,do not want to describe mine~~~j...Aaaah,very useful,do not want to describe mine~~~just variations.

I also share the thing about names --- don't like them, for whatever reason. I *never* address anyone by name. Sometimes I've had other words I don't like to say --- in the past I haven't liked to utter the pronoun "I". Which makes all personal discourse a bit awkward; I think I used a lot of sentence fragments during that period.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10860246538349067232noreply@blogger.com
