    Reno?!
    That's a cool name! I'd kill for a name like that.
    But I thought your name was Chris.
    WELL MY NAME IS WORSE. It's a weird name that you can't even say properly I bet you can't. :mog:

    Nope, I've never met anyone named Reno. My first name is John (lucky me >_>), so dissapointingly no one has trouble with it. I've met maybe three people who've gotten my last name right the first time. I don't understand what's so difficult about it, but eh.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    People butcher my first and last name all the time. I have only met a handful of people in my life who have pronounced my last name correctly.

    And you know those people at the supermarket who say, "have a nice day Ms._____"? They ALWAYS butcher my name. Why the hell would you risk insulting a person like that instead of just saying, "have a nice day"? Stupid people.

    I don't see the trouble with Reno.

    People always ask me to spell both my first and last name. Chloe really isn't that hard and no it is not spelt 'Cloe' nor does it have a 'y' on the end. Rigby would have to be the worst. I have to spell it everytime. I'm learning to say 'it's like rugby, but with an 'i' instead of the 'u'. Infuriating people.

    People smurf up my name all the time. It's not really their fault, though, since in English it's the correct way to say it.

    Whoa, having the name Reno would be pretty cool. You could be all "Swishaa look at me I'm from the Turks!"

    My name is Jeremiah. I will say it out loud to people and they will repeat it back as 'Jeremy.' It pisses me off to no end. How can you seriously HEAR ME SAY THE NAME JEREMIAH and then make your brain go "Oh he said his name was Jeremiah but I bet he ment to say Jeremy urr." People are retarded.

    And the spellings. HA.
    The following have been used at least once.

    Jeramiah
    Jerama
    Jerrymia
    Jerimia
    Gerromaya
    Gerimiha
    And others. Gawd.

    SEXY McAWESOME TO YOU, MISTER
