I've thought about changing it since I was a kid, believe me! But I never could think of anything better. I want a unique name but not crazy weird. You'd think that Priscilla is unique right? But three other girls in my class in HS had the same name, and one even had the same last name off by one letter! And she was in my math class too! And then the Facebook wife, I have her exact same name! I think it is the age of our parents, who grew up listening to Elvis. Everyone loved Priscilla Presley and thought her name was so original and unique.
I don't really have nicknames other than a shortened version of my name either Scilla or Pris, which only one friend calls me that and she came up with both. I don't have a middle name either bc my parents didn't give me one, just an initial that doesn't stand for anything and, yes it's also a P! WTH. Oh yeah, my parents didn't even come up with the name. My aunt thought of it but she had a boy (he's 3 mo older than me) so my mom used it. She didn't even think of a name for me.
And we do call Toto many different names. Mostly Turtle but then we shorten it to Turd (LOL) or Turd Man. Then Twinkles/Twankles, and Shrimpy Eyes (bc his eyes are so big and sparkly, he really looks like he has shrimp eyes). He responds to all of them.
