Names...
 
Names, Names and more names. That's what this topic is about.

What is your real name? Obviously we already know some names but some of us are reclusive hermits. :p

Do you like your name? Would you change it? What to?

And other name related stuff. Yeah.

My name: Rich
Do I like it: Yes
Would I change it: No

My name is David. Most people [online and off] call me Davie.

I've been considering changing my name to Jesus Christ for the past couple of years, but getting killed by some religious fanatic because of it doesn't appeal to me very much.

I dislike my name. It's very dull.

odd chick 01-01-2005 01:31 PM

My name: Heather
Do I like it: Well, it's alright I guess. It's a very common name, but that's okay. I could have been named something horrid like Bobbi Sue or Billi Jo, lol. :D
Would I change it: Probably not because I would probably make it even worse than it was before! :D

Godlesswanderer 01-01-2005 01:35 PM

My name: Karl
Do I like it: Yeah, I suppose. It's alright.
Would I change it: Nah, my name's ok. There's probably better names out there though.

munchou 01-01-2005 01:47 PM

My name : Valérian
Do I like it : mmh... from a scientific point of view, I would say that it's just a name, to name an individual, so it's equal for me. But in this society, I would say that I really like it, because it's a very rare name.
Would I change it : mmmh, why not with munchou :p ? Otherwise, no ^^

Esus 01-01-2005 02:10 PM

My name is Jason and I quite like it, and I wouldn't change it.

AquaticAmbi 01-01-2005 02:11 PM

Name? Amber
Like it? I think it suits me, but I wish it were less common.
Would I change it? Nope. Like I said, it suits me. Plus, I would never get used to being called something else.

DI, I could so see your face printed on one of those "Jesus is my homeboy" shirts.

I know very little people called Amber over here. It's quite a rare name around these parts.

Would I change it? I would, but I think Alexander is a good name.

Oddish 01-01-2005 02:44 PM

My name: Marchello
Do I like it:Yeah, not the best name, but I do rather keep it. I also like the "M"
Would I change it: No,most of my artwork has my name written on it, and I want people to know it's from me.:P

Almost as funny as the 'Jesus is a homo' shirt I actually do own.

Alector 01-01-2005 03:12 PM

My name is Claudia. It's a greek name and means "The Limping" .....
I like it when french or english people pronounce my name :)

Silversnow 01-01-2005 03:45 PM

My name is Marie. I wouldn't change it, I don't think there is any other name that suits me, I just wish people would stop calling me Maria.
And just because I know, Marie means "Sea of bitterness". Really.

TheRaisin 01-01-2005 06:31 PM

1. Rob.
2. Eh, 's'okay. Short and sweet.
3. Naw, I'm pretty happy with it. I got pretty mad in my younger days because I couldn't pronounce my freaking r's . . . But that's not a problem anymore*, so I'm fine with the name Rob.

Although lately I've noticed that sometimes I hiss my s's. It pisssses me off.

I've also been known to answer to "Snake." Yes, I quite like that. "Snake Griffin." Hsssss . . .

I love the name Heather.

SeaRex 01-01-2005 06:47 PM

My real name is Lucas.

I go by Luke because I like it more. I don't mind when people call me Luke online, either. Of course, I leave myself wide open to Star Wars jokes from people that think they're the most original heap of original that ever came to original town.

Nathan
Yes I like it because it's an easy name to put write on my scripts
No I wouldn't change it, it's my7 double barrelled surname that all the teachers never understand, it's not as if I'm the only kid in the world with a double-barrelled name.

You mean like "Claw-dia" instead of "Clowd-ia". :)

Strike Witch 01-02-2005 02:15 AM

My name is Ptolemy.

:sighs: I don't know how I got that name.

(the P is silent) :fuzemb:

The Red Muse 01-02-2005 02:35 AM

The name's Henna.
So there.
I like my name and I wouldn't change it if they payed me to. Mostly because then I would forget my new name and people would have to adress me by my social number.
That would suck real bad.

As for nicknames: Keke, Otto, Tinytoons, little Muse, Red Muse and the hobbit.
I hate the last nickname, so don't call me that.

Hey. If you haven't worked it out yet that's also my name, but I prefer people to call me Nath, it just sounds cooler

Reptile 01-02-2005 06:50 AM

Derek is my name. It sucks donkey balls.

dripik 01-02-2005 07:15 AM

My real name is Róbert. 'ó' is pronounced like the greek letter 'rho', I think. It's a German name, and it means "glorious reputation". At least they say so.
I like this name, I wouldn't change it.

Statikk HDM 01-02-2005 07:28 AM

My real name is Hunter.
Do I like it? Yeah, the H lends itself to good nicknames, but my religion professor says his Hs weird so my name sounds like Cunter when he says it. For beter or for worse, that's my nickname. Yes, the first time someone called me that I threw down but now I tolerate it. And the next S.O.B. who asks me if I go hunting is getting an atomic wedgie.
Would I change it? Not a chance
