More name-related stuff

[gnomi]

This time, a meme. Most recently seen in chaiya's journal.


If you call me Nomi, you are most people.
If you call me Naomi, you are sadly mistaken. Or a relative who hasn't gotten on the clue bus in the past 20 years.
If you call me Nomerino, you are my college roommate Donna.
If you call me Gnomi, you likely met me on-line.
If you call me Suminu, you are most likely a relative of Arie Gamliel.
If you call me Nomester, you likely met me in Young Judaea
If you call me Nome, you're a close friend.
If you call me Nomisue, Sominu, or Sweet Kid, you are my father.
If you call me Eleanor-Becky-Nomi, you are also my father.
If you call me Nini, you knew me when I was under 2 years old. And haven't been broken of the horrible habit yet.
If you call me Zooling, Darbizar, Zarbidar or anything else of the type, you're my sister (of corse, in that case, I call you Kiki or Riki or Riv).
If you call me Mrs. Bernstein or Naomi Bernstein, you are a telemarketer.
If you call me Eleanor, you've pinpointed who my mother is. Good for you. Now learn my name.
If you call me Becky, you are half of fandom on first sighting me in the hallway at a convention.
If you call me John's daughter or Eleanor's daughter, you most likely know me from the Lexington Jewish community.



I answer to almost any of the names behind the cut tag. But you'll get growled at if you call me some of them and you aren't in a protected class. :-)

Hey, cool... both names are telemarketer filters!

Indeed. It's quite helpful.

You forgot Mrs. Burstein. Does anyone get it right?

No one actually calls me "Mrs. Burstein" other than telemarketers or other people attempting to sell me something (most recently, a chick from Verizon called me Mrs. Burstein). And telemarketers almost never get the pronunciation right. So I guess the answer is no. :-)

Do you look like some particular famous Becky?

I like Zooling. I bet I'm not in that protected class, tho. :)

I look a lot like my sister Becky on first glance. And many, many people greet me (sometimes with a bone-crushing bearhug) without taking the second glance.

I like Zooling. I bet I'm not in that protected class, tho. :)

That one's particular to my sister. It's some odd bastardization of "Nomi Susan" filtered through my sister's weird sense of humor.

And here I figured it went back to you getting lost at the zoo when you were 5 or something!
