Let's talk names.
Alexandre Gustav Mikhaile is my full and real name.
Tyler. I'm suppose to tile roofs.
Jessica. It's pretty, and it suits me, in that I can't see myself being anything but a Jess, but it's boring. I don't like the idea of sharing a name with so many people.
Huxley Mikoyan-Gurevich.
:cool:
Kyle is okay, I guess. But it's no Kristian Breinholt Iversen!
Robert (Anglo-Saxon "bright fame"), though everyone calls me Bobby. :D I do not mind it. Annoyed by the fact that I am named after my dad and his dad while my sister had gotten a completely original name. Then again, they were going to call me William....ewww...No offense to any of those here, just not a name that suits me.
fweedssd
My real name is known by only a few select people who bug me to tell them or find me on facebook through the EoFF group. To the rest of you it's the nickname derived from my username here.
My real name is Wesley, and I don't hate it or love it; it's simply my name. I don't really care about most names in general enough to love or hate them.
my name issss kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid
My real name is Justin, and it's okay, considering my mom wanted to name me Nicholas, which is just a name I could never see myself having. :-/
KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID ROOOOOCK
qwerty qwerty qwert~
Yuejiao. It's cool. ^_^
Shauna. It's decent enough, I suppose. Can't imagine having any other name. :D
David.
It's horrible D:
There are so many Davids that I don't even answer to my name. I always expect that whoever is calling me is actually calling one of the other five Davids in the room.
I would honestly change my name to Mogi, but I can't be bothered to deal with all the legal stuff involved.
I love being named Allison :D
I would have prefer my mom's "if it's a girl" name, regardless of my gender. :/
its kris columbus but my real names is s...t a...n h...t, and thats all your gettin el oh el
William Conner Horton is my full name, but I have many nicknames; Will, Willy, Wilhiem, Will-Bear(Nikki only :P), Wilson(hell if I know), Sir-William, UnbreakableWill, SuperWill(Nikki only again :P),Conrad, Horton-hears-a-Who, Horton-hears-a-Jew.
I love my name, William means "Bold protector, Guardian" and it's what I am to my close friends and family. I try to live up to it's meaning.
I could also see me having the name Vincent. :P
(SPOILER)Yes, as in my favortie FF Character of all time. I AM NOT a fanboy Nikki >:P
My names means "the Great Income."
I always liked the name Rupert! I wish my name was Rupert!
I'll call you Rupert from now on then ;D
Don't you ever complain about having a common name, Mogi.
Try being a Michael for a day and see how it it. =/ It's not a bad names, it's so plain, though. I'd prefer being named Ashley, Eric, or Ian.
I know more Roberts now than I did when I was in high school. Not so many that it's annoying though (i.e. I'm glad my name isn't Michael)Quote:

Kyle here, but I always liked the name Leon.
Eric is the name that was chosen for me. I am fairly alright with it; although I find it a strange-sounding name when spoken in modern contexts, the Nordic reference pleases the mythology buff in me for some reason. :cool:
Names are odd. :erm: They are a practical necessity for our everyday lives, certainly, but that they are given without the consent of the actual recipients can have some pretty major consequences when it comes to basic social interactions. Whatever sequence of letters is selected for you will appear on your birth certificate, social insurance information, epitaph -- everything -- and it is unnerving to note that the selection method was probably based on parental preferences, and nothing in particular was done to earn it. That one should be most easily identified by one of the few things about one's identity that is completely controlled by others . . . is, again, quite odd. <_< >_>
Some of the Aboriginal traditions sound fairly interesting, what with the granting of names based upon a display of character under stress, and certainly there would be more pride associated with one's name under such circumstances than in our own culture . . . :\
I think our society should incorporate Secret Names that you choose when you begin the road to adulthood, kinda like Confirmation names, without having to be catholic and it'd be secret only told in confidence to your true bosom friends or soulmates.
I have a friend named Tyler Crack. No joke.Quote:

Even here people used to confuse me with Jess whenever she disappeared.
Kari Ann Reigle. I like it well enough :D
Sean.
And I hate it because every 1/3 people I meet always pronounces it wrong. "-_-
:pQuote:

I prefer most of the names people call me over my real name, but I can live with it. I like how most people who see me use my last name or something they made from it, preferably Sergeant J.
Paul. I've always liked the name Leon though. If I ever have a son I'm naming him that.
Brendon, although i dislike it, i don't know anyone else with the same spelling, so i guess it's a little unique
My real name is Matthew after my grandfather but apparently he spelt his name Mathew but mine is 2 T's damn it. My friends call me Matt & to tell the truth I prefer it, I don't even answer to Matthew anymore:tongue:
Funnily enough it was this chick had a crush on in my teens who 1st called me Matt, so it kinda stuck after that.
My name is stupid and I haet it forever >[
I don't really have a favourite at the minute. I go through phases. I have to say, I do like Agatha right now.
I like my name because it confuses the government and all learning establishments. And it gives me an excuse to tell some teachers off.
Syed Murtaza Ali Bukhari
Daxell is my name. odd, unusual, and kinda funny sounding. I like it!
I like being a Jessica.
My favourite name is Skye. :jess:
I don't like my real name and that's why I don't like revealing it online.
(thinks of something different to say)
Besides the names I come up with like Evastio and Kyudi, I have to say I like the name Gareth a lot. Max is also a cool name.
Eric. I don't mind it. I think it means "Ever Ruler". I prefer to spell it Eirik, as it was spelled back in the day.
Pontus here!
My name is Donal. It's Irish, and pronounced Do-nul. The ammount of people who pronounced it differantly is more than enough. Not too sure what it means either, but I know I was named after my grandad who shared the same name. I like it though, there isn't many Donal's around and it's quite unique.
I like my middle name because it is totally made up! I mean, really, I liked my first name a lot more before every 3 year old girl in Washington State was named Abby.
maiden = Abigail Lizanne Miller
married = Abigail Lizanne Chapman
go by Abby
nickname = Beas
I like my name!
Oh, I thought it was just a nickname. That's a pretty cool name.Quote:

Though if I have kids, I'm naming my first boy Angelo and my first girl Kayla.
Zach is my name. For whatever reason, I've never been particularly fond of it. It doesn't particularly bother me to hear people call me Zach or anything, but I really just don't care for it. When I write, I go by R. W. Miller just because I don't like the sound of Zach.
My parents almost named me Quinn. That would have been preferable. Kind of a sissy name, and yet every Quinn I've met in my life (a surprisingly decent number) has been a bad ass.
Amy Catherine. Amy means beloved in French or something, I geuss I like it as it's quite small and easy to say. I just hate that it can't ever really be abbreviated, so I feel like people full-name me all of the time and I don't like it!
I have to say Rantzien, your full name rocks! :cool:Quote:

Dashiell, though I usually go by Dash.
Named after Dashiell Hammett, which was a source of infinite joy during my obsession with old noir films.
Tiffany is my first name but I've always hated it cause of all the stupid idiots that mocked me for it lol. Middle name is Rose, I like that bit.
Tbh I prefer being called Tiffie to Tiffany.
Ready for it????
Julio
yep, not a very common german name l0l. i prefer when you pronounce it like yu-li-o instead of the typical spanish and italian versions. :)
Now my surname, well, let me just say that it wouldnt pass the swear censor anyway so no point in posting it.
His father has a much more unfortunate first name which I wont share here :(Quote:

Nicholas can be nice and formal, whereas Nick is fairly casual. I like that.
It does come with the annoying ability to rhyme with many words, but I got over that...
I also like the fact that it is Greek; "Victory to the people!"

I'm not too fond of my name. John is my first name, and it's just so generic.
I wish my name just consisted of my middle and last: Stephen Herzog. Stephen means crown and Herzog is the German word for duke, so they go together pretty well. Herzog sounds a lot like some sort of German sausage, though.
I like the male names James and Aaron, and the female names Ellen and Julia.
