My mom was so sure she was having a boy (Nicholas) that she didn't pick out a girl's name for me. So she let the nurses pick (my dad worked at the hospital so the nurses were friends at least not strangers)
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Why do I think the book is My Ann-toe-NEE-ya, when I think the name IRL is Ann-TOE-nee-ya?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Why do I think the book is My Ann-toe-NEE-ya
Because that's how it's pronounced in the book.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist
Because that's how it's pronounced in the book.
Is it spelled phonetically at some point?

I wasn't given a middle name when I was born. I had to ask for one for my 18th birthday.

Suzi! Was that cultural or just your parents being your parents?

I went to school with a girl named Bobette. Guess what her dad's name was. I dare ya.
I've whinged at length about my historic experience of bonny, but I have to say, I'm enjoying it now.
It's funny how many of my peeps can't get past beej. S'okay with me, in a major way. It's a nice feeling, in either direction. Hey, somebody wants to address me? Don't really care what they call me!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I get that question all the time. The Bohemian ( and illogical!) pronunciation in the book is Ann-toe-NEE-ya. My name is pronounced Ann-TOE-nee-ya, which is the one true pronunciation!
Thanks for all the positive reinforcement guys, but I'm not used to it and it feels weird!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Why do I think the book is My Ann-toe-NEE-ya, when I think the name IRL is Ann-TOE-nee-ya?
Because you're right.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
