please don't call me 'C'. my name is Cathryn

what's with people and single letter names? for example, my name is Cathryn and i call myself C. why? why shorten ourselves to just a mere alphabet? then what's the point of us learning how to pronounce? also, there's nothing special calling yourself just C.

or those people are just following those Hollywood celebs... imitating them, trying to sound glamourous and funky? are they just a celeb wannabe? hmmm... but seriously, think about it. why?

imagine if everyone calls themselves A, B, C, D, till Z. since we only have 26 alphabets... i imagine a lot of people with the same alphabet. imagine your friend's alphabet is A and on the streets, when you call him, "A", i think several heads will turn and stare at you, wondering who you are. tsk tsk, not really a nice situation.

and i do think that by limiting yourself to just an alphabet, it is no longer a name. it is just an alphabet. you are no longer named. you are being tag. it's like a robot or an animal or a lifeless object. gosh, even dogs have names!

Monosyllable names are understandable; single letter names are just lazy. Unless its like C for Ciara.

J could be interpreted as Jay, short for Jay-son
