What's in a Name?

I've had a few last names in my time. And, I think I can say that I can best sympathize with those who have names that are easily made fun of...starting with my first name - Kea...let's see, what can I remember being called?
  • Kea Diahrrea
  • K-K-K-Kea - think of the tune for the chia pet.
  • KIA - EVERYONE says, "like the car?" - I just want to punch them in the face.

Now for my last names -
1. Santa - yep
2. Beiningen
  • Beginagain
  • Bananaskin
  • Bennegasco - (after a gas company where I grew up)
  • And the many slaughterings of the name from telemarketers! I can't even remember how many versions people thought of.
And now,
3. Morovitz - I actually thought once I got married that the massacre of my last name would stop. Pretty simple, right?
  • Moronvitz - This was the name that was written on my name tag for a job interview at a very respected company. I just about puked when I saw it!
  • And the one my husband had today...see below
    I kinda like it. Goes along with my bra size ;-)
PLEASE put more names up that you remember me being called. Cracks me up!

  1. I remember at your wedding, when the minister said, "I, Kea" and you and only a few other people laughed. The minister stopped and kinda looked at the crowd as if wondering what he said was funny. You said, "I, Kea, you know. IKEA...inexpensive Danish furniture?" Then he laughed with everyone else.
