    I'm getting a bit bored with introducing myself at parties, it's just a formality and few people actually pays attention to what the other person says, so I decided to spice it up a bit. I introduce myself as Heidi. I'd say about 50% actually catches on to the fact that I'm messing with them and the other 50% is probably too focused on saying their own name that they don't actually pay attention to what I'm saying. The 50% that do notice will often come up with a wtf face or tell me that's an unusual name for a male, and when they do I tell them my real name and compliment them for paying attention. It's a good ice breaker too, so it's not like I do it only to be an ass.

    Stu invariably introduces me as Allie >:[ But I guess I introduce him as stu, so we're even >

    I usually will strike up a question or conversation with someone and have to belatedly go 'oh, my name is Allison, btw, what's yours?' or 'what's your name anyways?'

    I did that the other day and learned the Japanese guy who sits near me in diff e is named 臼杵! well, maybe not spelled just like that. I'll ask him sooner or later though.

    Names have power of people. I will use all your proper names to manipulate you all!

    Mwhahahahahaha!

    Actually, I usually always introduce myself as Bobby pretty much right away, or after a bit when I noticed I haven't or neither have they. Depends on the flow of the conversation.

    Sorta weird since most of my profs know me as "Robert" because that's what it says on the roster. It sorta makes it weird when I make friends in class, because they will hear the prof say Robert but my other friends will call me Bobby or will introduce myself as Bobby. Anyways, I prefer Bobby.

    I do give my name but its so unremarkable that people tend to forget it easily. I don't necessarily care for my name but at the same time I don't mind being called by it. Though I prefer the shortened version of it over my full name.

    As a rule, I prefer being known by reputation rather than just by my name.

    I tell my name to people. Then I tell it to them again because they don't get it. Then I have to keep reminding them how to pronounce it everyday. I really don't get why it's so hard for people to pronounce... goddd

    I know exactly what you mean.

    Me: Hey my name is Jed.
    Person: Jin?
    Me: Jed.
    Person: Jon?
    Me: Jed.
    Person: Jennifer?
    Me: Yes, I'm Jennifer, it's nice to meet you.

    Anyway back to topic. I impose my will to everyone I meet.

    People always mishear me the first time I say my name, but giving my nickname isn't an option. So I just have to repeat myself.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    I generally just introduce myself. If I am out doing naughty stuff like cheating on a girl I'll use a fake name because otherwise they can track you down on facebook and then tell the girl you're cheating on. Evil, I know... them and me. but if I'm just out an about or working I introduce myself as Steve. Though my name badge looked like it said Shag at one point.
