Nicknames You Have and Why
oh me oh my....
From My Mom:
- Pauline (my middle name)
- Dolly (probably because I'm the youngest and only girl)
So when I worked with Kristin at Grandma's restaurant Kristin gave me the nickname:
SMACHEL
which then led down a slippery slope of names to follow:
- Smachen
- Shmachel
- Shma
- Shmigion
- Machen (Still commonly used)
- Machie
- Mach
My girl-friends from high school called me Spraychel (she was a cartoon for a commercial).
My work friends and college friends call me Rae Rae (college spelling) or Ray Ray (work spelling)
Rob calls me Baby Ray or R^2 (Ray Ray) Because our group of UPC friends had a family story where Rob was the Dad "Papi"; Alison was the oldest sister, then ashley, Jeremy and Erin were twins (Er-Bear and Jer-Bear); then there was the tween: Meesh and Baby Ray.
I like them all because I love all the people who gave them to me and it's more personal.
