All I heard in school was "Heiney" or "Heidi-Ho". I still don't like it, but that's mostly because my husband still can't spell it.![]()
Try having the same name as a Sesame Street character during early grade school. If I had have heard "Hey Ernie, where's Bert?" one more time in grade two, I might have snapped.Ragamuffin said:Ah, but at least you didn't have to go through your entire school career being assigned a number because there were always at least three people in your classes with the same first name.
It's very annoying (not to mention self esteem killing) to have to be referred to as Matt #x for 9 months a year, every year, for 13 years.
