Hey Steph. Seriously funny you thought the same thing.
Sweet ride
Every story is so awesomely entertaining! What a great way to kill time on my "Friday".
And I totally agree with Marley as well. Tizz is definitely a Tizzy

Gee, mine is so boring... I'm Nicole B... I'd come up with something more interesting except I'd have to remember it!
I name all my cars and my first vehicle was named lutely after abso - $%#^&* - lutely during a slightly altered conversation I was having with a passenger the first time I took her for a spin.
Great thread RinaKim - loving the stories. The names mean a little more now with some background...
Ours is fairly simple, we are a pair of nuts and we love to travel
When I first joined the travel boards, I had a wonderful 13 year old shih tzu named Coco. I started as cocosmommy on TA and shortened it to Coco by the time I joined Negril.com.
My name was given to me by some Spanish friends who lived with Sweetie Pie. Guiri's - prounounced like this - http://www.forvo.com/word/guiri/ - are generally Northern European tourists in Spain. It's something of a derogatory term. They wear silly shorts and sandals with socks and are always terribly red from sunburn because they are, well, Guiri's. We're sitting around one day goofing and I have on a pair of white socks with my jeans. Apparently a huge European fashion faux paus. Violeta looks at me and starts laughing, "Oh my God, you're a Guiri!" Our other friend Laura laughs back, "You're right!" From then on I was Guiri. A few weeks later we come home and Violeta and Laura are just having a giggle fest. For the past few weeks whenever they wanted to rib me (which is a target rich environment, let me tell you) They would say, "You're such a Guiri guy!" When we ask what was so funny Violeta says, "Well I just love heterographs and we figured out a great one. You know how we're always telling you that you're a Guiri guy? Well you're also a Guirigay!" pronounced like this - http://www.forvo.com/word/guirigay/ - and then they had great fun giving me the explanation - http://dictionary.reverso.net/spanish-english/guirigay - and it was pretty hard to argue with them.
Sweetie Pie has always been my Sweetie. One morning when I was leaving the house I said "Goodbye, Sweetie Pie!" Violeta loved this, "I've never heard that one! I love all these rhyming farewells you Americans have. You know, See you later, Alligator - After a while, Crocodile!" and then, a few moments later she is ecstatic, "Oh my God! Guirigay and Sweetie Pie!! That's it!" And it was...
What's so funny 'bout Peace, Love and Understanding?
When I first started stalking this message board (before I created an account), I always wondered how everyone came up with their names. Haha
Mine is pretty simple... I have (had) three black cats. It's also the name of my jewellery business.
I'm known to and by the locals as "Big Man" but neither for my height nor my... I am simply a man of the large, economy size. So, being a father and grandfather "Big Poppa" was a natural fit.
