Cullie

My first name is Cullie but I go by my middle name Diane. I was named after my grandmother. I would have preferred to have been called by my first name no matter what it was. The first day of school was always a nightmare. There are not many Cullie's around and most are men. On one of my favorite English shows "Midsomer Murders" the daughter's name is Cully. I googled Cullie yesterday. This is what I found - An Old English word used in the 1700's to refer to a prostitute.

  2. Makes you wonder about the person you were named after, doesn't it?

  3. True! But guess what my first sentence says... "The name Rebecca originated from the daughter of Goddess of Beauty!" ;) http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rebecca
