How have people mispronounced your name? How is it supposed to sound?
Submitted by Lorie.
Well, I can't think of anyone that has mispromounced my name. It's easy. Jamie pronounced quite literally as "J-ME".
People do get my last name wrong though; but I'm sure many Asian people living in a predominantly western society would understand my grief. ;)
And slightly OT, people may not pronounce my name incorrectly, they sure do SPELL it wrongly! It's J-A-M-I-E, people. I know that there's alternate ways of spelling it (such as J-A-I-M-E), but really. I can excuse people who are just acquintances or people I've just met, but if you're a friend, please get it right? It's a pet peeve. :D
For those who are yawning cos they've seen this on TIB or Flickr or ATP or even my blog, cut me some slack cos I'm still in heaven about this girl.
After 4 months of not even being certain she'll come home with me, I finally managed to have a friend pick her up from the seller for me last Sunday. The seller and I had discussed a price for her (this was even before I'd seen a photo of the doll's condition), and I was afraid she'd had second thoughts about selling her to be since it's a very very good deal (for me). I am a bit annoyed with the seller than she didn't specify that there was a broken neck post (I had asked about the glue remnants and if that meant the neck was broken), but I can't complain seeing that she came to me at a bargain price and I'm not about to ask for my money back. :)
This little sweetie has been christened Beatrice Dimple - I'd decided on the name Beatrice from the time the seller sent me photos of her face, and 'Dimple' was added because I'd always had this notion of having a Scottish girl, and anyways, James likes the scotch whisky by the same name. Now all I need is a dark brunette wispy bang Kenner with a Welsh name to complete my little Kenner family.
