The missy’s name
I never really liked my name, although it is short: Anja.
I always wanted a more special and a more fancy name.
During my primary school time my name was a very common name for girls…we were three Anja’s in the class. I was called Anja-One. Then there was my best friend, called Anja-Two, and there also was an Anja-Three. Horrible, but my teacher at that time really liked it and had fun with the 1-2-3 names.
When I met people all around the world most of them spell and write my name Anya. Even people who know me longer still write my name with a ‘y’. Sigh. Well, my loveman mostly calls me Cola, which I really like because it sounds very cool when he says it, hehe, and when he calls me with my real name A-n-j-a it feels like something is wrong, it doesn’t sound as nice and calm and warm, when he says it, it has something demanding…you know, like when your name is Christina and everyone just calls you Chris or Tina, and if you hear your full name Christina it means you probably did something wrong.
I started my blog with the missycola name also because of the reason that my real name is too boring. I don’t know, but I am just used to be called by nicknames that are all far away from my given name. My other nicks were, for instance, sugar or schlipsi, which are both still valid, but since I am with my Colaman it needs to be a Colablog with a Colamissy. :]
I found the following name game at Jennifer’s HeisseScheisse blog (psst, I always wanted to be called Jennifer (esp. in the short form ‘Jenny’) or Jessica when I was a child…).
Well, as most of you know, I like these kind of internet quizzies and games, therefore I could not resist to see what it says for my (boring) name. Not too bad…quite true (lol). But what means “Type A personality”?
What Anja means
You are usually the best at everything … you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic “Type A” personality.You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you.
You never give up, and you will succeed… even if it takes you a hundred tries.
You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice.

I like Anja, too. It’s a beautiful name, most fitting for a beautiful young woman. 
Thank you very much, Hannah.
Did you know that Anja comes from Anna, which is a form of Hannah? :))
My great grandmother’s name was Anna.
Oh I found out something new: Actually Anja is the Russian form of Anna.
Anja also means gracefulness and charm. (Anmut und Liebreiz)
