just thought I'd let the newbies know how come a Floridian is called "Jrztomato".....so....the Jrz is for Jersey..my home state and the tomato because someone told me that Jersey has the best tomatoes and I agree....and since I am a "transplant"
it seemed catchy...

Glad you cleared that up. Wasn't quite sure how to say it.
I had a friend in grade school named DeBorah, so I had DeBora here correct. I came in contact with a girl working in a store (unnamed) and the name on her tag surprised me so much I asked her to pronounce it. sh they d is how she said it but it was spelled Sh_thead, yes it did have an i. I have no idea what her mother was thinking of when she spell that girls name that way, but can you imagine the stuff she has had to put up with?!! I felt so bad for her. I suggested she go by her last name and put Ms. Lang on her id tag.
So, be glad for the name you have even though some of us dummies can't pronounce it correctly, and know some people had uncaring parents with an horrible sence of humor!

The mother may not have actually been a dummie, so to speak, but perhaps didn't just think it through..she may have compiled it from letters that meant something to her not realizing the results may be objectional to her dd or to others.

Jrztomato you are very generous, but she would have to be blind not to see it the way everyone did. The poor girl said her mom was not married and mad at her father when she named her.

I had it as a nickname way back when I was a young one

Even though my name is actually Nicole, my family has always called me Cole.

And this nickname stuck since it was quite unique.....
