My ex-boyfriend saw me today at the market.. and it makes me mad at him calling me by my whole name. I'm so not used to it!!!
It makes me uneasy.. and wanna kill him! I get used when people call me ED, MARIE or RIE...
I like my name.. but I am not just used to it when they call me by my whole name! HAHAHA! I'm weird!

That's pretty weird. Aside from your ex calling you, you might have felt a little bit strange when he called you by your full name. I also love my name but sometimes, I really enjoy it a lot more when people call me by my nickname. It just feels like I have a closer relationship to people who call me on my nickname. Full name makes every thing too formal or something like that and it feels weird to be called by m full name when I'm with a few friends I've been with for a long time now. On the other hand, it also feels weird to be called on your nickname by someone you're not really close with. Quite confusing..

By the way, did you greet him or anything like that? Said hello to him as well? If I were in your shoes, I might have given him a piercing glance that showed I got annoyed with what he just did. Well, as for me, my ex is my ex. He's in my past and I really don' t talk to my exes at all.

Haha,hi bunso!
You just made me smile bunso!
Whenever my hubby calls me Teresa,that means something..he's quite mad at me,haha! And then of course I will call him Arnold rather than Mahal,hehe! So I know if hubby is quite mad at me by the way he addresses me,hehe! But I'm not saying that your ex is mad at you,maybe he just want an entrance to made you look at him,lol!
See yah bunso! Take care!

I'm also not used to it. Come to think of it, that would be weird. Although during college, most of my friends called me by my last name which I got used to. But my whole name, no, I won't get use to it. It's too formal for my friends, let alone my girlfriend.

Yeah, I see what you mean. Being called by your full name is definitely uneasy to hear. It's way too formal.

Lol .. I think we have something in common here, even I get pissed off when someone tries to call me by my full name. But I don't just go up to them and tell them because I think they feel it comfortable to call me that way. So I just leave it to them and don't blow up the issue!

You are right edsss17, after a while they get tired of the full name and automatically switch over !!

I might not want to kill folks when they address me with my surname ... but it irks me for sure and guess what ... i got a couple of girls who are also my colleagues (sadly) doing that.

Does your ex-boyfriend know that you don't like to be called that way?
I do not like it when people call me or address me as Mr Last name, because I hate my last name. It's an adopted last name - don't feel like to discussing too much about it here. I told people to just call me by first name including on the phone. There's nothing weird about feeling a certain way.

Since he was you ex and maybe you parted in not a nice way, he intentionally called you that!
I can understand you anger to calling you in your full name. Me, i get a bit of confused of whether the caller is angry with me, when all along they call me by my nickname.

No one here call me by my full name but some of them have this bloody habit calling me by my last name.I hate being called by my last name. Our parents gave us first names,for goodness sakes!

Hi,I do go with you and other participators on this discussion.It is odd that someone calls me on my full name in an unofficial occasion.None of my friends would call me like that.if someone calls me on my whole name,i will imply that he or she is saying that i am not his/her friend,and i am only a stranger for him/her.

I don't like when someone calls my whole name too. If I'm in a class, that's ok, but when a normal person calls me using the whole name, I don't feel confortable. I guess because it reminds me when I was a kid and everytime that someone called my using the my whole name it was because I was in trouble.

my lady,
When i was still studying-it's fine if few fellow students calls be by my full name- i am used to it and it's fine with me.
But i hate it when my secret crush called me with my full name and with matching wink (wish to kill him-i can feel smoke coming from my ears hahaha)
In facebook,my old old classmates still calls me by my full maiden name (good thing my ex-hus surname is not attached hahaha ) or else i will ignore them all .
I remember my Indian friend once told us that ,when he and his wife were having argument and his wife don't stop nagging -the last warning is calling his wife in her full maiden name-that means,he is really really angry -and his wife stops (hahaha)
He told us this in front of his wife and his wife laugh out loud!

I useed to get so annoyed with my parents when they did this to me as a child. it was like being scolded or punished to hear your entire name being shouted across the room or down the street. You just knew that it could not be something good.

I want to be called by my real first name because I feel innocent when someone calls me by my name, that's what my name means, innocent! My nickname doesn't sound good and I hate it, I looked like a domestic helper when they call me, well, that's because my parents came from the Visayan region and they call little girls like what they have nicknamed me, but in the city where we live that nickname is used to call the household help.

I knew I requested you as a friend for a reason you are just to much fun LOL
I HATED my first name because I was made so much fun of with it.
I always knew when teachers did role call when they got to my name. Stumped them the could not pronounce it LOL
I respect my first name because it is my grandmother's on my maternal side. But if you don't have basic names you tend to grow up with a lot of slack for having it.
I gave all my children names hoping they would never be made fun of.
I now go by my middle name. Have since high school to my friends, and then once I went in the Army I have always been Marie unless for something like all my stuff I needed like drivers license,etc.
but even then I would tell people they could call me Marie while they were talking to me to make it easier on them!
you have a good day. naw don't kill him(would miss your discussions!)...just get even think of something unusual you can do with his name the next time LOL
