Let's Talk About Names

[Laddy]

Do you like your name? Are there names you like/hate?

I love my name, actually. Michael des Lauriers is deliciously pretentious.

[Sephex]

Justin. Just in case anyone didn't know already.

[Laddy]

OMG SO CLEVER JUST IN CASE ROFL

[Sephex]

OMG SO CLEVER JUST IN CASE ROFL

Basically, yeah. Everyone does that to me like they are the first person to ever say it to me.

[Laddy]

Is Case your last name?

[Sephex]

No, my last name is embarrassingly Polish.

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

I am good with my name, well my nickname: Bobby. I hate it when people call me "Robby" or something like that. Mostly because that's what they call my dad. Yes, I was named after my dad and his dad so yay!

I have a pretty epic last name: Noble. :D

[blackmage_nuke]

Theres a W in my name, I hate the letter W, why does it have to be the only letter with more than one syllable!? I also dont like my last name but whatever.

[Laddy]

Bobby Noble sounds like a modern-day Paladin.

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Bobby Noble sounds like a modern-day Paladin.

Not so much a knight-in-shining-armour as a knave-in-not-completely-shining-armour.

[Shauna]

Shauna Mitchell isn't a bad name. Possibly because I've lived with it for 22 years, I have become accustomed.

[louby_4eva]

I love my name, actually. Michael des Lauriers is deliciously pretentious.

Dealing with names like this confuses me. Is it Mr des Lauriers or Mr Lauriers? Why is Des not hyphenated if that's the last name? Is it a middle name? Why isn't it capitalised? >.<

Louise Gallagher, simple, easy, I like it :)

[Formalhaut]

My full name is Jordan Patrick O'Donnell Cleary. Despite it sounding positively Irish, I'm actually 1/4 English, 1/4 Irish, 1/4 Indian, and 1/4 Chinese. My ethnic heritage reads off like an international buffet menu.

I don't mind my name. Jordan is pleasant enough, and some of my friends call me Cleary which as a nice ring to it. There's actually a slight joke on Cleary; this song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSuB4t3q_dA) is sometimes sung by my friends jokingly.


Michael des Lauriers is deliciously pretentious.

That definitely does sound like pretentious "punch you in the face material". :D

[Laddy]

If you think it looks pretentious, you should see how I pronounce it!

[Formalhaut]

If you think it looks pretentious, you should see how I pronounce it!

Try me. Get a voice recording up des Lauriers!

[Pike]

I hate my name.

Just call me Pike. :jess:

[Formalhaut]

I hate my name.

Just call me Pike. :jess:

Not good enough. I expect a full name!

[Chris]

Reno Kristiansen. It's pretty simple. :p

[Clo]

I guess I am Polish white trash, so here's my name:

Crystal Loretta Grabowski.

[Lonely Paper Star]

My first and middle names come from my great grandmothers on both sides. I'm pretty indifferent to my first name. My middle name is unique, though, and I like it.

I both like and don't like my last name. I like it because it's different and indicative of my culture/heritage, but I don't like it when people don't know how to sound it out. It shouldn't be hard to pronounce...

[Faris]

My middle name, Ashley, I've always prefered. Elizabeth, my first name, I used to dislike but now I'm indifferent.

[Depression Moon]

Gertrude is an ugly name for a woman.

[Bunny]

My last name is fairly bland, which is why I am taking my fiances name when we get married. Her name sounds better.

It's either that or take my family name of Przemytski.

[Denmark]

my name's Robert, i prefer the shortened form Rob. i don't really hate it i guess

my middle name is Joel. i like it.

my last name was pretty Polish, so my grandfather's generation changed it to something more pronounceable.

[Agent Proto]

My name is pretty bland, but I don't really mind. It's a bit common though since my last name is a common one.

[Jinx]

[Depression Moon]

http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g27/CocoChanelDreams/Sex%20And%20The%20City/samantha.jpg

I don't get it.

[Bunny]

Clearly her name is Samantha and she is a filthy whore.

[Jinx]

Clearly her name is Samantha and she is a filthy whore.

Not just Samantha. Samantha Jones. ;)

[Laddy]

Samantha Jones isn't a whore. She's a very nice girl. :colbert:

[Citizen Bleys]

Obviously I like my sobriquet, "Bleys Jackson Maynard" or I wouldn't have chosen it.

I used to dislike my real name (Marcus Scott Huculak) because a) when I was growing up I went by "Mark" and people would bark it like a swear word, and b) Nobody ever spells my last name right, and occasionally slip an "x" in there for no reason, but I'm a bit more indifferent now that I've started going by Marcus and learned the correct, Ukrainian pronunciation of my last name.

As of this point, I usually introduce myself as Bleys online and Marcus face-to-face, but I'll respond to either readily enough online. If someone I didn't meet online were to call me Bleys face-to-face I'd probably have them committed to an institution for the criminally insane. Especially if they pronounce it wrong (It rhymes with face, not phase)

[Formalhaut]

Especially if they pronounce it wrong (It rhymes with face, not phase)

In my head, it's always rhymed closer to phase. I shall correct myself from now on. :D

[Pumpkin]

My full name is Ashton Marie Bourbonnais and I do not like it at all. Ashton is a boy's name and I have never met a non French person who could properly pronounce my last name. Then I get asked to repeat it four million times as if that will suddenly make them be able to pronounce it properly. Maybe if they practice french pronunciation a bit more first. Even for those who can pronounce it, I don't like it. It's too long.

[fire_of_avalon]

Bur bon ay.

My name is great.

[Pumpkin]

No, Megan.

[fire_of_avalon]

Yes, Bur bon ay!

[Pumpkin]

I guess that could be considered the correct pronunciation if you intend to pronounce it incorrectly.

In other words, no.

[Jinx]

Boor-bon-eh

[Pumpkin]

Closer. If I get bored enough I'll make a voice message of me pronouncing it.

[Denmark]

i don't know what you're all reading, it's definitely pronounced "ash ton"

[Jinx]

Boor-bun-eh?

Also, Bleys--Raistlin pronounces your username "Bleez," the weirdo.

[Bunny]

Ber-boh-nes. Or Ber-bou-nis.

[Pheesh]

I like my name, although I will forever have to deal with people incorrectly pronouncing my last name, unless I move to Italy.

[Pumpkin]

I'll vocaroo it tomorrow when I have access to my boyfriend's laptop. Mine appears to not have a microphone.

[Mercen-X]

I don't like saying my full name if I'm not mentioning middle name. Too many s sounds in a row. I sometimes wish I could go by my middle name but when people ask me my name, I tell them my first name but never tell them to use my middle name. I sometimes don't like my nickname because it's my dad's and it's "Average" in every meaning of the word. I allow a lot of people to use it though.

Ashley, Andrew, Alexander, Aurora, Ace, Aidan, Alan(a), Astrid, Adal(ia), Alphonse, Anastasia, Armind, Anton, Aqua, Archer, Arthur, Argo, Artemis, Arizona, Blaine, Brian, Brandon, Brady, Beverly, Balthier, Benjamin, Charles, Cadence, Carmine, Cheryl, Canon, Capri, Carter, Catherine, Christopher, Calvin, Davis, Drake, Dorothea, Daniel(le), Drusila, Deanna/Diana, Demeter, Dylan, Durant, Edward, Edmond, Edwin, Ezekiel, Ekhardt, Elizabeth, Elder, Eureka, Ferdinand, Fremont, Fakhir, Falco(n), Gavael, Gabriel, Galadriel, Galahad, Garrick, Garland, Gyrich, Hannibal, Harvard, Harleigh, Jacob, Jeremiah, Jason, Jean(ne), Jasmine, Kevin, Kellan, Kimber(ly), Kenneth, Laremy, Laurel/Lauren, Lance, Longinus, Lamont, Lysander, Luther, Lucifer, Maximilian, Mackwell, Machiavel, Michael, Mason, Madeline, Marguerite, Malcolm, Melanie, Millicent, Maleficent, Marion, Mycroft, Nathan(iel), Natasha, Oscar, Octavius, Oliver, Ophelia, Orion, Orlando, Oswald, Percival, Persephone, Penelope, Parker, Philip, Phoebe, Priscila, Quincy, Rachael, Raphael, Raven, Rebecca, Reid, Reginald, Richard, River, Robin, Roger, Roland, Roman, Romeo, Ryker, Sebastian, Sakura, Sasuke, Salvador, Samantha, Samuel, Savannah, Sawyer, Scarlet, Sequoia, Sergio, Serenity, Shannon, Sheridan, Sienna, Sidney, Simon, Sophia, Solomon, Sonja, Stephan, Sylvester, Tabatha, Talia, Tanya, Theodore, Terence, Theresa, Thaddeus, Tiphana, Thomas, Trevor, Tristan, Ulric, Ullyses, Uriel, Valerie, Vanessa, Vaughn, Veronica, Vincent, Victor(ia), Violet(ta), Vivian, Wallace, Wilhemina, Winnifred, Winona, Xavier, Xenobia, Yasmin, Yvette, Zechariah, Zephaniah, Zoe

I had come up with a number of names for my children for when I have them: Joseph, Zackary, Edward, Cody, Martin, Zenith, Darwin, Kayne, Jayne, Raemont, Bartholomew, Warren, Marie, Alana, Cassanda, Leora, Mikaela, Michael, Sawyer, Adal, Cassidus, Cassidy, James, Balthier, Barteil, Taryn, Tyler, Cypher, Alekz, Adolf

[Shorty]

Sarah McKenzie Cobb. I've been told by more than one person that my name is "mormon as trout" - I guess McKenzie is a pretty popular name for mormons, but I pretend to chalk it up to my Scottish side (which is how my father chose it).

I wanted to change my name when I was little but I've grown to like it. I've always thought that it's so incredibly plain but I think my personality fits best as a Sarah and I don't think I'd change it if given the chance.

I've always wanted to name a daughter of mine Valentine but babe has vetoed that name. :stare: We came up with Averie Michele and Valerie Noelle for daughter's names. Any sons that we have are going right back where they came from and thus we do not have to worry about naming them.

[Mercen-X]

I also like Mackenzie

[Shorty]

You have spelled that name wrong in not one way, but two.

[Bunny]

Any sons that we have are going right back where they came from and thus we do not have to worry about naming them.

Doctors do not recommend shoving large objects into the vagina without easing your way into it first.

[Madame Adequate]

I've always wanted to name a daughter of mine Valentine but babe has vetoed that name. :stare:

Thank God you've not quite overrun him with your hipster nonsense completely.

My name is Huxley Vannevar Hobbes and it is the best name anyone has ever had :jess:

[Shorty]

It's not hipster nonsense, you ass, I've liked that name since I picked up Ender's Game fourteen years ago.

[Laddy]

If I had daughter, there names would be Oscelia and Auclaire. If they are sons, Eliot and Brennan.

I like pretentious names.

As a general rule, anything WesLY does is wrong

Valentine is a man's name.

[Shorty]

So is Avery but I changed it.

[Citizen Bleys]

My name is Huxley Vannevar Hobbes and it is the best name anyone has ever had :jess:

That doesn't count, you chose it, Kiir

[Shorty]

You chose your own name?

[Citizen Bleys]

It was legally changed

EDIT: I use the passive voice to show how gentle I'll be

[Shorty]

Awesome!

What was it before?

[Citizen Bleys]

It's a secret to everyone

Unless of course I already answered that

[Shorty]

Start downing more White Russians so you can tell us!

Read the gd thread

[Mercen-X]

You have spelled that name wrong in not one way, but two.That's how the name is spelled of the guy I met in college.

You can't spell a name wrong, tooter.


Oscelia and AuclaireCool, man.

Adolf, really?

Valentine is a man's name.

Redemption is hard-won, but I'm sure my kid could do if I chose that name for 'em. Valentine makes me think of "will you be my Valentine" which makes me think of "will you be my baby" which reminds me that some girls are deliberately named Baby.

Right. I also like the name Kyle.

[Shorty]

I was originally reading it on my phone and may have passed some pertinent information. Or I don't know what the hell you're saying.

Too soon to be naming your kid Adolf. Try again in 20Neverteen.

Kyle's mom's a bitch

[Bunny]

MILF's original name was Roscoe Benjamin Talbot.

[Laddy]

Actually, that's a damn sweet name too.

[Unbreakable Will]

I like my first name, William, but I hate my middle name, Conner. It sounds like some rich douchebags name. :mad:

[Citizen Bleys]

From now on, I'm calling you Willy.

[Denmark]

billiam is the best name

[Madame Adequate]

My name is Huxley Vannevar Hobbes and it is the best name anyone has ever had :jess:

That doesn't count, you chose it, Kiir

I can hardly be expected to go through life with an Eesti name.

[Citizen Bleys]

I'm just going to go ahead and read "eesti" as "motherfucking"

[Bubba]

MILF has the best name so far by a country mile.

Mine is Danny (Daniel to all my family members) Blockley. I've always quite liked my surname as it's pretty uncommon... though it did lead to being called Blockhead in school.

My middle name is James which I always kind of preferred to my first name.

[Quindiana Jones]

My name is Arthur. You can call me Quin.

[Night Fury]

I used to hate Tara as it was so uncommon and a bit odd back when I was a tot. Now I love it for that reason. Don't know many other girls called 'Tara' and I think I suit it :)

[Pike]

Sarah McKenzie Cobb. I've been told by more than one person that my name is "mormon as trout" - I guess McKenzie is a pretty popular name for mormons, but I pretend to chalk it up to my Scottish side (which is how my father chose it).

It's not a mormon name unless it's "Nephi Ammon Pratt Hinckley" and yes I have known people with names like that.

As for me: I still hate my name. I kind of want to just legally change the whole shebang to Pike. You know, like Teller.

[qwertysaur]

My last name is a common first name and my first name is a common last name. :p

[Mercen-X]

I used to love my name as it was so uncommon and a bit odd back when I was a tot. Now I kinda hate it for that reason. Don't know many others and I don't think it suits me :|

Fixed. I knew one person in first grade who had my name. I've known perhaps three or four other people with the name too. All are like me and prefer to not be called by a nick. It annoys me. I lost my sense of individuality. My clones stole my role.
