  • Comment left Jul 28, 2008: "I ve had the name for 42 years,it was a family name, and than i grew up with a friend called pam and now i work with two others.. so i wasn't that uncommon for me. I am not a big fan of the name, although i could be called worse and really hate the reference to Pamela Anderson" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jul 24, 2008: "My name is Pamela but only go by that for legal things or when I was in trouble as a kid. I was named after my mother's best friend in high school. I have had many nicknames over the years including Pam (which is what I go by), Pami which my extended family still uses although I am 25, and Spam since middle school. My husband calls me Pammers which unknown to him was also the nickname my mom gave the woman I am named after. The only nickname that I always hated being called is Pamela Anderson and would joke that my brain was big not my chest. I have always loved the name and thought it sounded poetic and elegant."

    Comment left Jun 21, 2008: "I am also a Pamela. I've learnt to love it, it's unusual and sounds cute when people call you Pam and Pammy. UNIQUE" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jun 17, 2008: "My name is Pamela as well but I usually go by Pam. I'm 22 years old and I love it, but I do think growing up in the baywatch days did influence me a little though. My mom still calls me pammy from time to time which is very endearing nd makes me feel loved." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Jun 10, 2008: "My name is Pamela, and going through school at one point or another I knew at least one other Pam(ela), in fact in one class there were four of us. In my first job after leaving school, I also worked with a Pamela, and even now where I work there is another Pamela. Yet for all that I wouldn't say its a common name." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Jun 09, 2008: "My mom's name is Pamela....I think it is a very mature name. Family calls her Pammy and relatives call her Pam.......I gave her the name of a life time.......PAMELER........... IT'S PRONOUNCES PAM-MEL-LER BUT I SPELL IT PAMELER I THINK IT WAS A CUTE PET NAME SINCE SHE CALLS ME BUZZARD HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHA" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jun 09, 2008: "Pamela was name of girl in my class ,i thought it was a very nice name called my daughter PAMELA" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jun 05, 2008: "My name is Pamela, I usually go by Pam. I'm 20 years old and agree with a lot of these comments, I don't really think it's that common (and when I seen "Sex and the city" I was shocked to see the name Pamela, on "Carrie's" address book). I heard many nicknames for my name as a kid and most of the time heard "your name rhymes with everything!" And it does; spam, ham, etc. And I used to have to listen to when my name was called because, Pam and Sam and Anne and Dan, can sound a like (when called out loud). I've heard of the Pamela Anderson jokes as a kid but I do like my name. It's different and easy for kids so say (which is just a, PAM!). But I've realized that many movies do use the name Pam so maybe it's more common than I think, ex. "Meet the parents" and the Bourne Series." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left May 16, 2008: "PAMELA" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left May 14, 2008: "I will be 30 this year and I love my name. I love the versitility of it. I most often go by Pam, but close friends and family often call me Pamela, Pammy, or Pammy Sue. I've also been called Spam and Pambo but it doesn't bother me. I did not like my name when I was younger because it was so different and sounded like an "old" name. About 5 years ago I met another Pam my age and her and I have become very close friends. A pair of Pammys...lol. I've noticed people have a hard time remembering my name..I tell them it's ok that it doesn't stick with them...everyone knows that Pam is the best non-stick cooking spray...it usually helps."

    Comment left May 01, 2008: "I hate my name. It sounds like a disease some people say "Pamola" which is awful. I am large chested, (bigger than Pamela Amderson) and my last name begins with "A" so you can imagine what people call me. I'm 18 and I think my parents were cruel." (Report as inappropriate)
