As a redhead I grew up with nicknames like "Ginger Pink" (probably explains why I don't like the colour pink) and "Blue"....Ozziespeak for a redheaded person, for some reason, is "Blue"......people could never understand why I didn't like it. It's funny the first time. After the 397th time, it becomes tedious.

My parents named me Jennifer but always called me Jennie - that's how they spelled it, and I still do to this day - not Jenny. I will answer to Jennifer, or Jennie, but have never ever liked Jen. If people are too lazy to say my name in full, I would rather they didn't use it at all.

Cheers
JennieG
