My real name is Rachel. Nothing special, but I don't mind it. I've also been called Rae.
At home I go by "Inday" pronounced in + dai.
Sometimes they shorten it and just say 'Day....which sounds like "die"...
In Filipino, it's sort of nickname that means "honey," and you usually use it for the youngest daughter in the family (or so my mom tells me), but I've heard it used for other types of people. (I have an Auntie Inday).
When people try to annoy me, they call me Rochelle or Rocky or Rachel-ee. But they never work becaaause....it's very hard to annoy me. ^_~ So you can call me whatever (non-derogatory XD) name you please!
And I've stuck to the nickname HoshiSenshi so much online, that my best friend calls me Hoshi sometimes. (So if you ever come across someone named HoshiSenshi online, it's most likely me. =3)
