Subject: Do you look like your name?
For example in my old Job I knew this woman named Nora,
she kind of looked like a "Nora".
Subject: Re: Do you look like your name?
I have an uncanny knack of, without knowing people's real names, being able to guess some of their names without knowing anything about them.
In the past month, I have identified a Becky (I actually thought her name was Rebecca, but she gave me that one), a Steve, and a Jemma (though I thought G-)
As for me, judging by the amount of people who have come up to me and said, "Hey," >expleted deletive<, I guess it's true that some people really do look like their names.
How about you, Andrew? Do you think you look like an Andrew?
Subject: Re: Do you look like your name?
Now,I know this is silly...But how do you look like your name anyway? ??? I'm confused? ???
Howard
Subject: Re: Do you look like your name?

Draw your own conclusions from that as you wish !

I'm not sure if I look like my name, I haven't seen enough Janelle's to know what they look like.
Subject: Re: Do you look like your name?
I don't think I look like a Janie, but then again, I have only net a few. ;D
Subject: Re: Do you look like your name?

Subject: Re: Do you look like your name?
Tell me what you think a 'Bobby' or 'Robert' (my real name) looks like and I will tell you whether I am or not.
Subject: Re: Do you look like your name?
the Bobby's I know were about 6'1 average weight. Slender faces, close set eyes and usually dark hair, that is from memory. My old boss was a bob too, just change the hair to grey.

Hmm. You're quite close in some ways, Annie. I am about 6'1. A little heavier than average weight (stocky), I don't think I have close eyes or a slender face but I have dark hair.

I can do everything except the splits, but then again, I never could ;) In fact, I can still do our Nationals routine from my senior year in high school (1989) as well as every "halftime" routine I ever did. :o Why is it I can remember that stuff, but keep forgetting to give my oldest milk money with his lunch? ::)
Subject: Re: Do you look like your name?
I think i look like an Adonis. Hell, I feel like an Adonis!
Subject: Re: Do you look like your name?
I think I look more like a Ruby. My actual name is Elizabeth. But, what do you think an Elizabeth should look like?

I picture "Elizabeth"'s as rather plain looking, not ugly, but not flashy or over the top. "Beth" is someone who is blonde, petite, and cute. "Liz" is more flashy, outspoken, and trendy. The list goes on....

Ah bless lol. The girlfriend and I go to work at different times in the day and she couldn't find the keys that go to the shed where the freezer is so she started panicking.
It was only until she phoned me at work that I realised I had them in my pocket all along. ::) :D
Subject: Re: Do you look like your name?
No I don't think I look unusual/exotic enough for my name ! There again i don't know what name I do look like !
There again it is a German name and I do have blonde hair......
Subject: Re: Do you look like your name?
80s Cheerleader, I didnt ask what a 'Beth' or 'Liz' looked like. I asked what an Elizabeth looks like.
Any ideas?!
I am brunette, plain-faced, usually come home still in uniform until late night, natural bottom-lip pout, really red lips, long legs (usually get called Lizzy Long Legs *LLL*), and long fingers with old-looking hands.
Any ideas now?
Subject: Re: Do you look like your name?
What do you think a Devona would look like?
Subject: Re: Do you look like your name?
To me a Devona would have pure black hair, pale white skin, have ruby red lips, blue eyes (no matter wether its black hair or not), and the cutest button nose.

Except for the black hair you've about hit the nail on the head. I've got blonde hair and blue eyes. I am fair skinned which leads to being pale. My lips are closer to pink, though. My nose is a "cute button nose". At least that's what my husband tells me.
My in-laws upon first hearing my name thought I was African American. Since I am as I described, I'm far from it. I've met two other Devonas in my life. One was African American and the other was like me, blonde with blue eyes.
Subject: Re: Do you look like your name?
Perhaps you looked in the mirror when you saw the Devona identical to you. :)
Anyone know what an elizabeth looks like? Oh, read and reply to my 'Hey! Freaky Book Alert' topic...please...
