BUT, I have a co-worker that calls me Em, at first I HATED it now, I'm getting used to it. Thinking about it, My mom did call me Em SOMETIMES. <br /><br />It PAINS me to hear Emily (niece) called Emmy. I will NEVER call her that!!!! ;) (Sorry Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00758776156276850740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347943771906170661.post-17806109789559345202011-09-11T17:04:16.716-06:002011-09-11T17:04:16.716-06:00I love your name...and I love that movie :) Sorry...I love your name...and I love that movie :) Sorry, I'm probably one of the "Em" abusers :)The Willeyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01180325513665281981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347943771906170661.post-34551668029042379082011-09-07T21:43:01.527-06:002011-09-07T21:43:01.527-06:00As a child when I would meet people and tell them ...As a child when I would meet people and tell them my name, Naomi, I would also get the, "My Grandma, Aunt or (some other old lady) had that name". I've only met one other person my age and 2 younger girls with my name.<br /><br />Also, for some reason my name gets misspelled. I don't understand that, you spell it how it sounds basically.
