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

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
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.
Bobby Noble sounds like a modern-day Paladin.
Not so much a knight-in-shining-armour as a knave-in-not-completely-shining-armour.Quote:

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? >.<Quote:

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 is sometimes sung by my friends jokingly.
That definitely does sound like pretentious "punch you in the face material". :DQuote:

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...
My middle name, Ashley, I've always prefered. Elizabeth, my first name, I used to dislike but now I'm indifferent.
Gertrude is an ugly name for a woman.
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.
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.
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.
I don't get it.Quote:

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

Even for those who can pronounce it, I don't like it. It's too long.
Bur bon ay.
My name is great.
No, Megan.
Yes, Bur bon ay!
I guess that could be considered the correct pronunciation if you intend to pronounce it incorrectly.
In other words, no.
Boor-bon-eh
Closer. If I get bored enough I'll make a voice message of me pronouncing it.
i don't know what you're all reading, it's definitely pronounced "ash ton"
Boor-bun-eh?
Also, Bleys--Raistlin pronounces your username "Bleez," the weirdo.
Ber-boh-nes. Or Ber-bou-nis.
I like my name, although I will forever have to deal with people incorrectly pronouncing my last name, unless I move to Italy.
I'll vocaroo it tomorrow when I have access to my boyfriend's laptop. Mine appears to not have a microphone.

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.
I like a lot of names: 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
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.
I also like Mackenzie
You have spelled that name wrong in not one way, but two.

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

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 bitchQuote:

MILF's original name was Roscoe Benjamin Talbot.
Actually, that's a damn sweet name too.
I like my first name, William, but I hate my middle name, Conner. It sounds like some rich douchebags name. :mad:
From now on, I'm calling you Willy.
billiam is the best name
I can hardly be expected to go through life with an Eesti name.Quote:

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.
My name is Arthur. You can call me Quin.
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 :)
It's not a mormon name unless it's "Nephi Ammon Pratt Hinckley" and yes I have known people with names like that.Quote:

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