my parents are really proud of our southern heritage even though we live in california now. my daddy is named Bobby Ray but everyone calls him Buddy. He even made my teachers call him “Buddy”. my mom’s name is Misty Mae.
My name is Vicki Lynn (what’s worse is that this is apparently Anna Nicole Smith’s real name) and my sister’s name is Peggy Sue. It really bothers me. I’m not redneck at all. I was born and raised in California, but my name makes me look like one of those trailer park, confederate flag people. no offense. and people give me a hard time for it.
my parents even insist that i name my children these type of names. what are some better ones that don’t sound that bad? what should i do about myself?
