Thoughts associated with NZM names

I'm not sure if this has been done before but don't hold it against me if it has! Anyway what your supposed to do here is post screen names of people at NZM and write beside it the intial thought you get when you hear for example:

Aka: abrieviation for the term for alias, also known as.
Heather: Common female name.
Tama Drummer: a drum kit.

Forums: The Bar,

My name isn't that common, thankyou very much. If I was still working on the Electoral Roll, I'd tell you exactly how uncommon it is...

But I'm not. Bugger.

Aka reminds me of the aliens in Mars Attacks. "Ak! ak! akAK!"

My smaller boy is now at the trying-desperately-to-talk phase, and he sounds *exactly* like the aliens out of Mars Attacks. Ak. Akak. AK! The wife and I return fire: 'Cosmo, we come in peace. Do not run!'

And Heather just scrapes into the top 50 names for girls in Scotland. If it ain't popular in Scotland, it ain't gonna be any bigger here. I mean, I've only ever heard of two: Ms Mansfield, and nzmusic's version.

At least you don't have my christian name. Common as muck. Top 10 list for the last 500 years in every English speaking country on the planet. There were at least 5 people with my name in every class I was in at high school.

Not difficult to find out your christian name (and your surname for that matter), since you've got contact details on your website. Internet=easy stalking. And if I *did* have your name, I'd probably be an exciting exotic model as well.

While I'm here, isn't it extraordinary that there have never been any double-ups (that I can think of) in christian names on Shortland Street, ever? Slight variations, yes, but no double-ups. How likely is it that over 10 years, the centre only ever hired *one* guy called Steve?

"Heather" as a name has special resonances for me: I have had one in my life for the last 8 years and she has to be one of the most irritating and stupid people I know. It made me worried about meeting "our" Heather, although of course, I had nothing to worry about. I actually know several Heathers, 6 or so.

When I was an incredibly miserable girl in the 5th grade, my arch nemisis was called Heather. She was the Popular Girl, and going out with Scott Pertel, the guy I had a crush on, and she had _breasts_. And NO ONE had breasts then.

That summer I saw the movie "Heathers" and loved it purely because they got killed. That's my association with the name Heather.

I was the unpopular one at school. People made fun of me quite a bit ...and I didn't get breasts until I was 17. Was very surprised when I got to university and people were nice to me. It must've been the breasts.

It's ALL about the boobies.

Actually I've known girls who were at the top of the crowd who were actually flat as the runway on an airport. It works both ways.

//...and I didn't get breasts until I was 17.

....Where can i 'get' some?.

Yes they have been slow performers in the past, but with female lead goverment, and subsequent funding I think the benefits will be apparent in increased cup sizes.

...actually, they did give me an upgrade when they realised they'd lost the paperwork. It was a nice surprise at the time, but now I'm wondering whether I should've kept with the smaller model...

Damnit, it's getting more and more difficult to keep up this conversation without risking people filing it under "too much information"...

//Was very surprised when I got to university and people were nice to me. It must've been the breasts

Nah Heather I've found that Uni is a much more accepting place than college. Of course, you were probably just joking, in which case, enjoy my random information.

//I applied for mine when I was 12. Everyone else got theirs...
thats your mistake, your supposed to apply at birth, thus giving the ministry 12 years to get it organised.

When did breasts have to be licenced? It's either that or i just have lost the plot. Especially since flicking back to the topic isn't helping. But lets see the government wants us to license our cars, have a license to drive (though some licence-ships are resonable) and some of our personal assets including our body parts?

I just got mine today.

1/2 Price @ BritneysImplants R Us.

Some breasts should be licensed - you could put out an eye with those things!

ha i'm sure you'd know all about that Joanna :p ha j/k

Anyways if they happen to be life-threatening weapons maybe they should licence them, especially the pointy sharp stiff-ended ones.

Ministry of Estrogen Development deals with breast licensing.

Yeah, that's the one, but be patient - the red tape is a killer. I applied for mine when I was 12. Everyone else got theirs...

achilles can't be a little less shallow, do u really associate names with what u've just said???

That's a bloody impressive list achilles!

drug dealer chick? hehe gee thanks! I'm off to the kindy now... my best clients hehehe

Achilles Heel... sore feet :) for once and for all..... you are a guy right?

//do u really associate names with what u've just said???

its the initial thought Jon that goes at the speed of thought that sometimes you can't control no matter how "shallow" it sounds. Sometimes we jsut can't help these things in the dark of our minds. For example some people when they hear Shihad think "jihad: Fundamental terrorism against america" but i was just being honest, i could sugar coated it but then the topic have to be renamed to "Relate lollipops to peoples names".

//Soldierboy: speaks for itself

come to think of it now your remind of tin soldiers. :)

??!! Feelers song..... *sigh* thats not what I was going for.... oh well *sigh*
... *sigh*

shot achilles you were right on with my name

// spacecadet: The Feelers song Space Cadet
// *sigh* thats not what I was going for.... oh well *sigh*

Dude! Hadn't even thought of that. My thoughts go out to you, spacecadet.

I could always change my name.... my next choice was 'venus'......

:(

Fine

;)

The 'Dr Gymkhana' name always puts a smile on my face... He makes me laugh for no apprarent reason. It one of the best names going around...

//SaidInJest : Rap

Oh c'mon... But hey at least I made the list...

AchillesHeel to me at first thought was Foot fixation

//AchillesHeel to me at first thought was Foot fixation

me too

Sorry SaidInJest, it just had a certain rhythmic swing to it. Foot fixation? interesting :)

'Dr Gymkhana' -Isn't she female?

Sweet As Achilles, you're actually right on the money. I'm very pleased to make the list, because one of these days that list will look more like the hall of fame or something...

By the way if anyone out there has a foot fetish, can you explain what the attraction is... Im very interested.

//'Dr Gymkhana' -Isn't she female?

I'm an idiot and I'm totally sorry.
You can slap my hand next time

// 'Dr Gymkhana' -Isn't she female?

well she did have a boyfriend not so long ago..

Yep, I'm female...pretty sure of that too. Nice to hear I make you laugh, SIJ - that can only be a good thing right now...I like my name. It comes from my email addy, iguanagymkhana, I like that even more because it rhymes. I'm the only person I know with a rhyming email address.
Y - that doesn't mean a thing. So there.

//for once and for all..... you are a guy right?

For once and for all Acidess and everyone to clear this up, yes i am a guy.

AchillesHeel - makes me think of how everyone has a fault (or many). But to recognise your weaknesses makes you stronger....

Jenny on the Block is used as a dirty joke to do with me at my work. i do not know why.......
