no, my name isn't anything to do with a month, but a good idea. I never thought of it! My parents chose it for its ease of speach (no L's or R's). My real name is Lai-Ping and my middle name is Maria.

OMG!!! JANEY!

Sorry, couldn't help myself. You've been missed.

Well, I prefer to remain anonymous, so I will not give my name, but I will tell you 2 facts about it.

1. It's not Joe or anything associated with the name Joe.

2. I hated my name growing up, and still do. My first & last name both have 2 syllables. It sounds so short, and has no character. I gave all of my kids multi-syllable first names, except for one, but I address him with a 2-syllable nickname....all because I can't stand my name!

Not Marv. Not even close.

I have a name that is now more common among females. My wife has a name that is more common to males.

Makes it easy to recognize junk mail and telemarketers when they get the genders wrong.

Mine is not Captain, and it's not Obvious. It did lead to a lot of teasing as a kid, but then again I think kids can find a way to make fun of pretty much any name. I like my name, and all the ways other people still find to mess it up.

It's Will, of course.

I am a modal verb. I basically mean the same thing as "shall", but I think Will sounds a lot better than Shall.

I am also a noun in that I am the faculty by which a person decides on or initiates action. It's a responsibility I take very seriously. My second noun meaning is that of a legal document containing instructions as to what should be done with one's money and property after death. Also a responsibility.

I am even the rare and envied transient verb meaning intend, desire or wish. Call it what you will.

Finally, I am a proper noun, meaning my first name is Will.

It's quite an adventure.

My name is Alexandra Joelle. With home friends and family, I go by either Andi or Andra. My sister started calling me Alex when I was little, and I started going by that in general when I started college.

I'm glad my parents settled on Alexandra. My mom had wanted to name me Mary Frances or Rebecca.

That's a great name.

As for me, it's Simon.

Wow. Simon. I never would have guessed that.

It's one of those bilingual Quebec-type names. Keeps ya out of trouble regardless of the language you are speaking.

:suave:

Actually, my mother bestowed on my grandmother the job of naming me. She chose "Dominic". My mother told her to try again! "Simon" was the more acceptable choice.

My name is Adam.

My name is Clinton

Such a propername for such a scumfuck piece of shit...

..i prefer C.J. Though, or Sick-Boy.

I'd say that qualifies as a Freudian slip :lol:

Mmm "Matthew". I love that name.

My 'American' name is Brandon. I'm not very fond of it as I've always found it... Weird.

I prefer my original name of Ejike (But no one calls me that except my dad, my grandfather and a few of my overseas cousins).

Cool name, Infinite_Loser. How would one pronounce Ejike?

My full name is Henri James Abrahams. I am (I think) about the 5th or 6th Henri James on my dad's side of the family. It's tradition to name the first son Henri/y, or a variation thereof like Heinrich.

My name is Vincent. I think it means victorious.
My second name is Romain, and I hate it.

Jaeret here. Rhymes with Ferret, or Carrot, or Parrot, or ... that's about it. :D kids can be so cruel...

"Jaeret the Ferret sat on a Carrot"

to quote the flyman: Bastards.

Phil

Phillip Michael, actually. :)

I love your name. I think it's such a cool name for a boy. But now I'm reconsidering.

Keila here. I always just tell people that it sounds like tequila, without the te, of course. :)

well, my name is ...drum roll please... drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Mandy, yeah, and i came and i gave without taking:)

when i first joined TFP, i wasnt sure if i should give my real name or not, so i went with the name i was given at birth. and no, its not short for amanda just derived there from and it means beloved, worthy of love. i got a few nicks aswell, munchie, cos i used to eat alot after i smoked a joint(note that i dont smoke weed anymore, but sometimes get a realy strong *lus. *wange, because i have really chubbie cheeks.

but everyone calls me Mandy except healer, he calls me noonie pie:)

*lus - pronounced "lis" meaning strong feeling or longing(it's afrikaans)
*wange - pronounced "vunger" meaning cheeks(face cheeks:)

Christopher

The name's Tom

My initials are LAM...I hate it.

:(

My name is Joe and back in the day when I was in elementary school I went by Joey. I slashed the y in middle school, but I have a few people who still call me Joey.

My name is jennifer.I quite like it...neverused to but i do now.

Tyler is name but everyone I know mostly calls me Scorps, just a nickname I have had for sometime, all because of my tattoo. The my last name Donlon seems easy but no one can ever seem to spell it right, my current job still gets it wrong and I have been with the company for over 3 years.

cool, a revival opportunity... BUMP


I am an eclectic mix of names, first name is Old English, middle name is German, and last name is inherently of Spanish Origin.




bah, well - The name is Edward, which means "guardian of prosperity". I think it suits me well. :D

My name is Tenniel, sorta obvious as my name on here is tenniels. My last name starts with an S, hence the tenniels thing. Not a very common name I guess, but I can't imagine being called anything else. When I was a kid, I wanted a cute name like Britney or Courtney or Keely or Haley, but I grew out of that. The Captain and Tenille jokes get old, but I just reply with you can call me Captain and leave it at that. At one point there were actually 3 Tenniel's in my Juniour High although they were all spelled differently. The other two girls were off an Indian reservation, so I'm not sure if that means it's a popular name with the natives or if it was just coincidental. They moved away, and since then, I'm the only Tenniel around.

My name is Jack. I was named after a long line of Jacks on my mum's side of the family. My granfather, great granfather and so on..I was also known as Jack James or John Jim, or J.J . Now it's just Jack..I also have my mum's side of the family last name..a common enough Irish name beginning with O'. I often wonder if my dad's name might have been something more exciting and exotic.:rolleyes:

my name is Adam Micah Douglas

I'm not so worried about stalkers!

My name is Ryan. It's an Irish name that means "little king". So, if TFP ever becomes a theocracy, I guess I'm in charge. :)

Hail to the king, baby!

Matt

Although it's not my real name, most people just call me Tammy. Even my family. I tried going by my real name when I was younger, but eventually I stopped trying. People can't seem to pronounce it correctly (and no, it's not Tamra). A couple of my hubby's coworkers pronounced it correctly, but were later surprised to learn that I'm "a white girl." That was kind of amusing. I actually do like the name, and I think it looks pretty in my signature. But for practical reasons, I've resigned myself to "Tammy." I have no idea what it means, as I cannot find the exact name in any baby book.

My initials run sequential in the alphabet and my first name means bringer of light.

A shiny penny for the person who guesses the initials and the first name in the proper spelling. :D

My real name is Chet Buttinsky.

Could it be Luca M. or Lucrece M.??

I doubt I'll have any stalkers - Mark James Watson is me :)

ROFL. fun thread.

My parents had absolutely NO girls names picked out - they were both absolutely CERTAIN they would have a boy - so I was supposed to be Daniel David.

shock of the day - one baby, hold the penis and testicles!

So, the doctor that deliverd me said "You have a beautiful baby girl, what are you naming her?" and my father looked at her and said "um, i donno... What's YOUR name?"

So, Dr. Janice Herz had a baby named for her for the first time.

I'm Janice.

*grin*

Ramya. It's Sanskrit for Beauty and elegance. it comes in a religious hymn, my Mum is a spiritual person, and she really liked it.

As for the pronunciation. NOT Ram as in Ram, the animal. But as in Rum, the hic. ;) ya = yeah. So, my name sounds like Rum-yeah.

This is what my name looks like in the Devanagari script, just for kicks :

You won't believe the headache involved in getting others to say it right. There are at least 5 ways my name is misspelled/mispronounced. :eek:
