72.0. "audrey" by 9394::AHART () Wed Jan 14 1987 15:56

    My name is Audrey Hart and a lot of people have
    fun discussing it.
    
    All my life, people have been calling me Aud.  As
    a youngster, I was very short and small.  I would
    take offense at the name Aud thinking that people
    were calling me Odd.  Sometime during highschool
    I decided that I didn't mind being called Aud and
    that it was different and cute.
    
    I was born with a heart condition so people were
    very cautious about calling me Aud Hart in fear
    that they may offend me, but I thought this was
    an interesting pun.
    
    During my freshman year of college, I needed to
    come up with a mailname that would represent me
    but not be too common.  "Odd heart" did the trick.
    
    Now, here at DEC, my supervisor's name is Audrey.
    For a while it was strange for me to hear my name
    used so often.  I began wondering whether I was
    losing my mind when I heard people say that they 
    were talking about me to about so and so and I had
    no memory of the conversation.  I got used to this
    pretty quickly, though.
    
    One day were talking about lexical twisters.  Aud
    can really be stunning:
    
    Odd awed Aud awed the odd thing.  
    
    I've had a lot of fun with the name AUDREY.  My parents
    were considering Alison, Alexis and Anthony.  I very
    glad they made the choice they did.

    Like, is this a joke.
    Please give to us punch line.
    
    I have a friend (no kidding) named Audrey and she has aquired the
    nicknames:
       Aud (Odd)
       Auder (Odder) and
       Otter.                                                 
    
    No punch line here, but one may infer personality from nicknames.

    I have a sister with the name Audrey.  She likes to go by the nickname
    Audi (Oddi-not the car), however, I don't like it so I call her
    Audrey.  I also would like to know what it means.
