Has a name been ruined for you?

Is there someone from your past that's hurt you so bad, or just did something so horrible that every time you hear their name or just that name in general it gives you negative feelings? Three names that have been ruined for me are Jacob (or Jake), George, and Lacy.

    No.  No one gets to have that kind of power over me ever.

    I cannot stand the thought of my brother sometimes, but I just center myself until it passes.   I won't let that happen.  It is a continual process but I will even do meditations to make sure it never takes more of a hold on me than it does.  I get real mad for an hour or two here and there and then it passes.  I don't like him any better, but I don't dread his existence either.

    YES.......when I was growing up in the 1940's, I was considered a 'sissy'.........oh well!!  also I loved movies - still do - and Betty Grable, who was a HUGE star of that era, was a favorite ot mine........

    whenever he'd see me in the halls, etc, he'd say, in a rather loud voice.....'my name is Betty Grable, &   I'm a famous movie star!!"...........how the hell he knew I liked her, I have no idea.......!!!

    of course I pretended not to hear, but of course could not help but hearing the titters of those who had heard it.


    so to this day the name Keith is repulsive to me!!!!!!!!!!!
