OK, I may live under a rock and rarely watch TV or drink soda, but what is up with all the random names on bottles of Coke?

Some new campaign they are doing about "sharing a Coke" with INSERT NAME. None of my family (me, DH, DS, DD) made the list of a bazillion names, but my brother - JORGE - has his name on them!! And so does someone named Francisco!  |

I was wondering the same thing. They are so random.

go to shareacoke.com and you can see the whole list of names. None of my family is on the list.
It is to get people to buy an extra coke or 20 to share with soulmate, friend, BFF or someone with a name from their list of printed cans.

I'm not really sure, but here is the site to see if your name is out there Share a Coke, Find your NameI can't believe they don't have my daughter's name Maggie or Margaret.  |

We were in Walmart in Colville, Washington the other day (we're on vacation right now from Canada) and we managed to find an "Emma" for d [HASH]1 but no "Molly" for d [HASH]2 ... she chose one that said "family" instead  My name is obviously Leanne and there was never anything personalized for me when I was a kid unless we had it specially made ... |

Just another ad campaign. My girls are so mad that their names aren't on any of them.  |

The number of names available is really pretty small.
You can check online to see if your name is even made.
If it is not, there are some events across the country in which you can get mini cans made with a special name.

Yes! They were all rather obscure names. The ones I saw were Tara, Jess, and Maddy. Granted, DD has three Maddy/Madi/Maddi on her soccer team, but the others were not very common.
So, there is no big prize when you find your name, huh? LOL

DH and I are available (Jon and Kelly) but DD -- Ella/Eleanor -- isn't.

What do you know, every member of my family is included in their name list! But since only one of the four of us drinks soda, we probably won't be searching out the bottles!

DH and I are (Jeff and Paige), but not DS. I've never seen his name anywhere. Of course, the fact that my name made it is something I would never have bet on when I was growing up. No other Paiges in my class until college.

It says my name is not in stores, I guess Becky is a very unusual name.  |

I found a Jennifer, but the closest to Alison is Ally - which DD would say is clearly pronounced ALL-y. For the most part, I just call my soda by the name on its side. I'm going to drink Frank now.

Just marketing. You can check their website to see if your name made the list. Also, they must have a touring truck bc their was a truck in Ocean City Maryland taking and making requested names. I heard the line was LONG!

I am very surprised my name isn't there. I didn't see it when I scanned so I tried typing it in the box in case I missed it. It said "Looks like your name isn't in stores. On the up side, you must have a really unique name". Actually, there is nothing unique about my name. It has been in the Top list of girls names for probably 100 years or more. It is Elizabeth.

my name and DH's are both available (although I haven't see either in stores). Out of the three children...each of whom have three forenames...ONE is available (one of Simon's middle names - Andrew).

It says my name is on a bottle but i haven't seen it. Then again I don't drink soda so I wouldn't buy it even if I found it. I did see this meme floating around yesterday and I did actually LOL when I saw it!! Hope this link works... i.imgur.com/mfYzcXf.jpg

My dd said that she has yet to find her name, Naomi, but she's seen Hammish. She's kinda irritated!

Okay. I am not the only one who didn't know. I was at Dollar tree today and saw them in the fridge at checkout and wondered the same thing.

If you buy six packs or cases they don't have names on them. They have things like BFF, Buddy, Legend, Friend, Soulmate, Star

I made the list! I usually couldn't find my name, which is Veronica, on many things when I was growing up. I saw it today, and had to buy it, just for that reason. 1 of my 3 kids have their names available, and so does my dh, Bob. Pretty clever marketing gimmick actually, everyone likes to see their name on stuff.

The first one I saw had my DOG's name on it! Amanda. Michel is on it but only as Michelle. My REAL name, not my nickname is on the bottles and DH's nickname but not REAL name is there.

It has resulted in me singing 'That's not my name' pretty often.
They call me Hell
They call me (look at the bottle, insert name)
They call me her
They call me Jane
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my...name
Ah Ting Tings. I thought your ear worm was snuffed out forever. Darn you Coke!!

five of the seven names in our family are on them. the most common nickname for our youngest's first name is there, but she doesn't use that nick name. I didn't even try Marilla.  It doesn't matter because we aren't big soda drinkers and none of us are Coke fans. |
