My real name (Nelva), well, I didn't really get teased, about the worst was a girl that called me "Nelva-Smell-va" that just happened once, because I punched her and knocked the wind out of her in 3rd grade. We ended up best friends until she moved away the next year.

Growing up unfortunately, my name got misspelled and mispronounced. I finally got to the point where I just answered to anything that sounded similar. Nelda, Nelba, Nova, Melba, Melva, even a few weird ones like Zima, Zelda, Melon and Xenia.

Like you, FinkDaddy, I didn't really like my name growing up, coupled with the fact that I don't have a middle name, there was no hope. I always felt like my name was a little "Old Lady" name. But now I've come to appreciate that it is unique. I like my name now.
