When Did This Become a Trend?

I think I am a curmudgeon. At the very least, I'm becoming out of touch.

You see, I read the celeb rags;well, I glance at People and am faithful to eonline.com. I've noticed a trend that I just don't get - the combo name. Brangelina, Beniffer, Jacket (from Lost), and on it goes. Am I crazy here or is this the dumbest thing ever? 

It makes me think that Kelly and I should have our own nickname. After all, if a celebrity couple (or tv fictional couple) can have a nickname after 9 seconds together, surely we should have one after 9 years together.

What do you think? Are we:
  • Shelly
  • Shally
  • Kennah
  • Kallah
Hard to say. Some of these are even as catchy as the pen name I was thinking of taking on when writing my behind-the-scenes "not based on real events" look at life in my profession.

I would tell you my proposed pen name, but then you'd know it was me when my book reaches the top spot on the NY Times Bestsellers List.

  4. Hmm. Shaelly? (SHAnnah, kELLY, pronounced Shay-Ley?) It works for me...

    And you're far too beautiful to be considered curmudgeonly.

  5. You're so sweet, Stacie!!! I was given (via email) ones pronounced the same as your suggestion, but spelled differently.

    Maybe I just need to focus on getting famous before I worry about my nickname. :)
