If you must send a present via Amazon off someone's amazon wishlist--

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not assume you are the only person with the first name in question who might send such a present and use merely your given name to identify who you are.

Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease do not do this especially if in your circle of friends you know there are two people who share the same given name, and discussion has happened in your presence regarding applicable nicknames to each of you to provide you differentiation (i.e.: calling one of you Long Tall John, or the other one John-from-back-east John).

Thank you, though, to whichever of the two gents of the same given name was thoughtful enough to get me the Angela Bowie book!

  Last year, Sherilyn and I got Christmas presents sent through Amazon from "D & E." It took a couple of hours, but we finally realized they were from our friend David, and his Sister of Perpetual Indulgence alter-ego Sister Edith MyFlesh.

    A friend of mine is contemplating joining the Sisters sometime soon and has acquired a doctorate, and is considering that his holy name should be Sister Doctor Gemmy DeNews.
    
    Man, how do the Sisters come up with these terrific names? :)

      I don't know, but they're much more entertaining than porn star names. :)

  Not so much a Secret Santa as an Ambiguous Santa.

      Not so nearly ambiguous anymore.
      
      ...should either have thought more about that part, or signed it as Fanboy...
      
      Still, happy yule.
      
      And oops. It'll never happen again.
      
      (...until the next time...)
