last name is short at 4 letters and very German - my dad is full blooded but my mom has a mix of french, tiny bit of indian, and God knows what else.
Middle name is from my mom's father - who died just a month or three after my parent's wedding in '71 from sustained illness/old WWII stuff. First name is a common enough english name meaning "God is my judge". |

What's the point? In this land of conformity and indoctrination there's alot in a name... we start to embody the essence of others who have possessed our name before us and our personalities are the forged of a muck of sediment and sludge that came before I am a Michael, Mike, Mikey Mikele and Mick I also go by many nicknames because I don't seem to have the inherent ability to be what a Michael is destined to be in North American "culture". So you might know me by Tortoise, Rigor Mortis, Iceman, Slasher, Pussy Man, PFD and Sharo Khan to name a few. I never gave myself these nicknames and although I don't particularly like any of them and there's a story that always leaves me looking funny and or stupid behind each and every one. In one's quest for identity there must be a higher occurence of moments of self reinvention I guess a changing name gathers no moss.

My First and Last names are Robin and Leach
If I had a nickel for everytime someone came up to me with a horrible British accent, screaming "Robin Leach, Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous!!" then, I'd have a shitload of nickels

This really got me thinking...
My first name is Robert, so at any time I may be reffered to as Robert, Rob, Bob, Bobby, or Robbie. I was named after the second oldest kid on "my three sons". My middle name is my maternal grandfathers,it is an old fashioned ethnic name that I hated until I realized what a great man he was. I would do well to be 1/3 ythe man he was. When my paternal grandfather passed we found paperwork with three different names for him. Only one person in the family knows the whole story and they are embarassed to talk about it. The closest I can get to an answer is that he made up my last name when hje ran away as a teenager

My first name as my parents gave it to me is "Miklos"
...it's a Hungarian variation on that name. So I was always Miki or Miklos until I entered kindergarten, when the authorities decided I'd be better off with a more "American" sounding name so we discussed "Michael" and "Nicholas" but I assured them that it had to be Nicholas to maintain my connection to the Christmas gift giver figure I always associated with. Now I am very satisfied with Nicholas, there aren't many around so it's not one of the more common names. During periods of ethnic identity resurgence, I think about changing back to Miklos but don't believe I ever will. |

My initials are BWK. For some reason my parents named me Bruce Wayne. I never much cared for my middle name. I really hated it when the original Batman TV series came out and all the other kids gave me grief about it. Showing my age here. Bruce is kind of a cool name. Not a ton of them around, then again, not so unusual that receptionists ask me how to spell it.

My name is Jessica, but I hate it..Everyone has that name and its boring. I prefer Jessie (Not Jessi,Jessy,Jesse) That pisses me off. Jessie is more informal and it differentiates between me and the other 7 Jessicas (which I did have in my art class in highschool..That was a nightmare!)
