ltarbox...

[cheltzey]

Am I the only person who reads your name in my head as "litterbox?" It makes me laugh just about every time! What does it actually mean?

[scrapperjade]

Hahah... I never did before... but I think I will be now! Ha!

[Lyd]

Oh goodness - I had never even thought of that. It's just the first letter of my first name combined with my last name. My last name is Tarbox. I don't think I'm willing to go through the trouble of having my name changed on every site I'm a member of, so I'm going to have to leave it the same, even if people think of me as a litterbox. Ouch!

[melmos75]

I didn't look at it that way but for some reason I thought the L was and I.

[LenaGardner]

First of all, I've never thought of that. I do understand how people say things in their heads, but I've never thought of that!

Second of all, and somewhat unrelated, I LOOOOVE the name Lydia! My Nathaniel was going to be a Lydia...and funny enough, so was Parker...but the time I actually had a girl, I went with Naomi :blink:

I thought the L was an I as well!

Oh, certainly don't change your name! I wouldn't know who you were if you did! Apparently I'm the only one who thought of it that way, so just chalk it up to my weirdness! :)

[ditzyscrap]

LOL, I didn't see it that way either, but I also thought the L was an I...

[rach3975]

I already knew it was your name, but the litterbox pronunciation never occurred to me, either. No matter what your username is, I think there's always someone who misreads it. On a babywearing site I go by the username digiscrapper. Someone posted a thread like this for me because they'd been reading it as digi's crapper, LOL.

[Paula]

I've never thought of you as a litterbox sweetie.

[Lyd]

Oh thanks ladies! Don't worry - I'm not offended if anyone misread my username. I know a lot of people have seen it as an "I" and I can see how that would be - it's an easy mistake to make. And, hey, I've been called Lynda more times in my life than I can count - even by teachers who were looking at my name on a paper. So, it's really okay. And, by the way, I don't have any problem with the name Lynda, it's just not my name. Funny story about your digiscrapper username Rachel. Hope you're doing well with that new baby!

[cheltzey]

So just to clarify, I never misread it as "litterbox." That's just the pronounciation that's in my head. You know, like LOL is "loll" etc. The odd things that go through my head...:)

[lizzyfizzy]

i didn't see litterbox either. i did think that L was an I. so i'd say "eye tar box".

[lizzyfizzy]

And, hey, I've been called Lynda more times in my life than I can count - even by teachers who were looking at my name on a paper.

who would mistake lydia for lynda?? :huh:

lydia is a beautiful name, btw!!

[Angie4b1g]

I always see it at litterbox, too :P

OMG LOLOLOL!!!!
