You Know It's Time To Drop The Nickname For A While When...

[badstar]

...one of your closest friends forgets your last name and has you entered in his address book as "Renee Fuego"

During my wedding dinner my Matron of Honor called me Rogue instead of Rebecca

In mine, you're just "Fuego".

[liritsvoice.livejournal.com]

youre just fuego in my book! :-D

[fuego.livejournal.com]

so I've been demoted to "just" fuego now?

[fuego.livejournal.com]

wow, i'm in your address book? :-P

[linkslut.livejournal.com]

Well, not like I have your address or anything, just a cellphone number.

[fuego.livejournal.com]

ah...I see, so to you I'm only a nickname and a cell phone that you send text message to. some trans-oceanic crush!

Well, I'm working on collecting your details, love.
I now know your name is Renee.

Atleast, I assume it is, going by what one of the other respondants said :)

I didn't expect that our AIM conversation would result in such an amusing LJ anecdote *chuckle*

I have a difficult enough time remembering names... i just haven't had to refer to you by your full name at any point in recent memory. It's usually Fuego; rarely do I even have to refer to you as Renee. Just get your name legally changed to Renee Fuego and all will be right with the world :)

That's probably what I'd call you, too...can't seem to remember if you had your full name on those brownies you mailed me, or not...

by 'just fuego' i mean 'the most awesome, incredible, delicious fuego of all time!!!'

[fuego.livejournal.com]

i probaby did, i usually put my ful name on mail return addresses. but that was almost a year ago. and i don't think my last name has come up since then

[fuego.livejournal.com]

awwwww :-)

[fuego.livejournal.com]

it's still weird to hear you call me "fuego"

[fuego.livejournal.com]

no...Renee is one of my stund doubles, they're just not in on the secret

[fuego.livejournal.com]

when i lived at home, ONCE in a while someone would call up and ask for Fuego...and one time before that, someone called up one day and asked for "Icky" (my AIM screen name back in the day was Icarus Syndrome)

At the time, the 'rents were JUST starteing to get used to he fact that they had a Weird Kid. I got a lot of strange looks.
