Title: WHERE DID YOUR NAME COME FROM?
Post by earthlingorgeous on Sep 20th, 2005, 8:52am
Hmmmmm....
I always get this question with my nickname and my real name....

My real name is Mercedes...
they always ask if its from the one of the elegant and popular automobile... lol! nope... it's from a saint who had the same birthday as I am... my dad chose it he was born and raised in a convent....it supposedly Maria Mercedes but the nurse got lazy to put Maria there lol! thanks to her I don't have to sing Thalia's jingle lol!

Earth...my nick
they always tell me are you earthy? (makamundo in Tagalog) lol! Earth comes from a crossword puzzle of my whole name with middle initials and my petname .... I used it almost 10 years ago when I worked as a service crew for Jollibee and then carried over when I worked at McDonalds... it stuck with me.... so the rest is history  ;D

HOW ABOUT YOU?
Where did your name come from?

POST AWAY  ;D

Well the bible of course ;D But actually Jo and Joe are popular names in my family. Its a southern thing. Mom is Millie Jo, sister Pamela Jo call her PJ, brother Billy Joe, Dad is Joseph..so I guess to save confusion my parents decided to put an L on the end of my name. My nick is a combo of what my grandmother called me as a kid, a johnny cash song, and what I do for a living.  ;D
