What's your name?

I got this from China.

The premise is simple: Share the different names that different people call you.

Melissa - is what most people at work use to call me. I also remember that most of the people I know back in high school called me by this name. The latter being that I thought (back then) that my first name sounded cool.

Mel - is what my agents here in Beijing call me. It's the same name my friends back in Dell and my previous agents use.

Meme - This name is used exclusively by my friends from Sykes. The name was first given to me by a manager (can't believe the name escaped me) during my first few months with Sykes. Afterwards, we managed to give really "baho" names to almost everyone we work with.

I-sang - this is exclusively used by my mom when she's making lambing.

Mei-an/Mei - used by my circle of friends back in college, Salam and my bitches (former colleagues from Etel). My complete name is Melissa Anne.

Sakang - used by Ian, colleague and friend from Sykes. I call him "Bakla" in return. Go figure.

Mei Li - given by the Chinese government and is seen on my Chinese Work Permit. It means "strong" and "beautiful" in Chinese.

Bes - used by Chin and I.

Twin - used exclusively by Jarjar (note the "baho" name), my colleague and friend from Sykes. We used to look the same during our short-haired days with the company before we decided to grow our hair.

Baby - used by my ex-boyfriend of 2 years before I learned he already has someone he's calling "sweetie".

Love/Psst - used by my boyfriend slash best friend slash alipin. In return I also call him the same.

What about you? It's your turn to share the different names you go by.
