Just a whinge

Soozybee

Just a little thing that's been annoying me and thought I'd share.

I got married on 7th September to my fabulous hubby which is obviously awesome...however I have changed from quite a rare name to a very common name. Now my Google searches to see if I've won anything are a bloody nightmare. Doesn't help that a Tory Councillor with the same name as me has just become a leader.

Ho hum anyway back to it €

I feel you, my name is the same as a famous triathlete who is always winning/being congratulated etc, it's a pain x

For me It's always a famous Australian cricketer, putting competition or winner in the search title does not help one bit. bloody Aussies!

:rotfl: Nah, my surname is Comb - with that spelling And there is a product out there called a Louise Comb. I declare this whinging competition well and truly over and I want to know where my prize is?

Although, I have also genuinely known of people with weirder names:

Pastor Weigh
Mr & Mrs B Day
Ivor Deadbody

I've just Googled my boyfriend's name....I've got a double barreled name and I'm the only one out there, but there seems to be lots of "Emma Hissurname". I'll have to decline any proposal then!

EDIT: Oh no, adding "winner" onto the end is even worse. She's won Come Dine With Me.

double barrel yourself for competitions, then you can be unique?
Just a thought.
