Names.

[Shoeberto]

What's the story behind your name? The one your parents gave you, that is. Not your stupid internet name, you dumb jerk! That's right, DMKA! I know you're going to read this by hovering your mouse over it so I'm not even going to try >



My dad got my name back when he worked on the floor of a factory. He was moving something on skids (I call them skids; my dad calls them skids. However, recently I've heard a different name for them. It was in an article about video game cliches. I don't remember the name now, though, so I will proceed in calling them skids. If you don't follow me, well, stfu.) and he saw the name he ended up giving me on the side of it. I think he saw, though, what I see as the bastardized spelling of it - Stewart, rather than Stuart, which is correct. That is my name.

"Eunice" is an outdated old-caucasian-lady name. However, many Generation-Y Korean Americans are named Eunice because it strongly resembles a Korean name. "Eun-" is a popular suffix to a lot of girl's names... Eunhye, Eunjoo, etc. My parents gave me my Korean name first... "Yoonhee." Eunice, or Eunie, sounded the most like "Yoonhee," and they wanted to give me a unique (Eunique, hah hah) American name so they wrote "Eunice" down on my birth certificate.

I don't know, I should ask. It was either Jessica or Danielle. I'm glad they picked Jessica. xD

My original name was supposed to be Rene Alexander Cuadrado, but my grandma didn't like it that way so my mom made it Alexander Rene Cuadrado.

[Alive-Cat]

[Craig]

I don't know, I should ask. It was either Jessica or Danielle. I'm glad they picked Jessica. xD

Haha, I thought you said Jessica or Daniel!

I don't know, I think my sister picked it or something.

[Old Manus]

I asked them to

[Strider]

I was almost named after Steven Tyler. Yes, the lead singer for Aerosmith.

Oh, and I was almost named Joseph Perry, after Aerosmith's guitarist.

My mom was/still is a huge fan of Aerosmith, but luckily she got talked out of it. I'm not really sure where she got Matthew Christopher, though. I think it has to do with the fact Matthew is supposed to mean "gift of God".

[Mitch]

Mitch is a form of Michael.

[Chris]

Well, there's nothing much to say. My name is Reno and that's that.

[GooeyToast]

The doctor named me (probably because I'm his son)

[Yamaneko]

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Named after my dad and his father...I really do not like the idea behind that.
