What’s the

What’s the story behind your nickname?

The story behind my nickname? I don’t think there is a big story of how annoying or frustrating it is that I have a nickname.

Some people can’t say my name, Deirdre, and I always say it’s like deer then druh.

So when I get tired of repeating myself, D or Dee is formed. Even though those are the nicknames my sisters have for me, they can say my name, but for the rest, I just let it be.

If you can’t say it, it’s okay. There are names I can’t say but I give those who try the benefit.

I am just glad to be done with school, for I always corrected the teacher during roll call what my name was. Now, I don’t have the energy.

  1. Just so you know, I love your full name… prefer it… and I did in fact recognize the placement of the R in your name, and I think that it makes your full name sound romantic and dreamy… no weirdness attached to the compliment, fyi… it just suits you, that’s all
