What's Your Name?

Never have I wanted a name like Myrtle, Marsha, Joan or Jeannie so much in my life. Who would have thought Courtney would be so progressive for a 1950s bike plate?

re: the plates. i see that "butch" and "rusty" made the cut. i think you should have bought "Phyllis"... what's even better is that they are Florida plates... you have a friend in florida. wish we were still at round top...

You should just nickname yourself Jimmy or Stevie!

Paloma said...

Try being named Paloma! I could never find anything with my name on it as a kid. I even considered getting stuff that said Pamela since it was close, but my mom wouldn't let me! LOL! :)

I *Heart* You said...

Paige was actually a doozie to find on anything back in the day! I think for kicks I would choose Gene. :)

Chris Brown said...

C~
I was able to find "Chris" by my surprise. Guess I just hit it at the right time. Would have loved a "Bubba"...

Peace,
Chris

JJ, we already HAVE a Stevie; funny they have that.(Would he die if I acted like I expected him to put that on his bike??)
And Doe, you had a MUCH better chance w/ Courtney than I ever did with L-E-I-G-H...unless I wanted to be a boy. L-E-E came in spades!
Hey, I'll be "Sandy" if you get "Rusty",lol.

Seriously, my name never adorned keychains, pencils or tiny bike plates. All the painful memories are coming back.... :)

Looks like I'm not the only one missing my name on the board! And, yes, Leigh...you had it worse than me. I was able to find Courtney on a white plastic bike plate when I was 10 or so....but not on anything decent.

Perhaps I should remember this when naming my first born. I'm feeling a "Vickie" or "Cindy" ??

Krissy said...

Yeah, my name was never spelled with a "K" on anything :(

Dolce said...

My names isn't on there either, but Butch is!!! Who would have thought?

Elizabeth H. said...

You should buy the plate that says Wayne and put it on you bike.

my little apartment said...

being a girl named Dean, i never found anything personalized at truck stops or touristy places :(

Joanna Goddard said...

very cool! joanna (my name) is also never on these things....xo

simply seleta said...

Well I guess my name wasn't popular in the 50's either. Cool plates. I noticed that there were more boy names than girls. Hmmm.
