Your real name?
 

So, JadziaDax challenged us to do something original. I'm starting a thread about our real life names. Post as much or as little as you want. It could be initials, it could be your first name, your middle name, but I'd advise against full name, for stalker-related issues. Maybe a little bit more. Do you like your name? Wpuld you rather have a diferent one? What would that be?

My first name in real life is Ian. I'm fine with it, and don't have any reason to want to change it.

my monogram reads DMB

edit// damn! first response to what turned into such a huge thread! I might as well give a little more away. My first name is David (or Dave, whichever you prefer)

My initials, just like my twin brothers' are NAB. My entire name is getting changed eventually. Thus far, I only have a first name picked out.

My nick name is Marti. i had to grow to like mine, but i wouldn't change it.

First name is Anthony. As a kid, I really disliked it, prefering Tony. Dunno why, and as I got older, I got to where I didn't really care which was used.
Always kinda wondered how my parents came up with the name, as my older brother is named after my father, and my middle name is my maternal grandfather's. Met my father for the first time some years back, and it turns out his father's name was Anthony, so it makes sense.
Anyways, it's just a name, and when you get to a certain age, you don't really care what anybody calls you, as long as they call.....;)

Adam. And I never really cared one way or the other. As a young child I wanted to be called Tom (I am not sure why..) but now I actully prefer my own name.

My real name is Jacob, but since about 8th or 9th grade, I've gone by Jake.

Funny story about that... the job I had over winter break had my name down as Jacob. I worked there again over spring break, and signed in as Jake. It really confused them, they thought it was two different people. The unfunny part was they didn't send me my paycheck for about a month...:(

My name is surprise, surprise, Bill. It's ok, at least people know how to spell and pronounce it.

Due to their not being another person in the US with my name I will not be giving that out as I'd like to keep some sort of anonimity. However, my initials are TRR. I'm not really getting the point of this thread though...

my first name is Stefanie, yes with an 'f' although even my aunts and uncles can't remember the correct spelling... i like it though, didn't like it when i was a kid, but i like it now, i especially appreciate the 'f', its a little more unique... it also prevented people from calling me step on me when i was little, i could always come back with the fact that there is no p... haha

I've always not been shy about the truth about myself,
but I don't expect anyone else to do the same.

Do what you feel comfortable with.

Michael

<- Gary :)

Just getting to know each other a bit better.

You'll never know! But then again, you'll never care.

my name is Joeri :-)

With a simple name like Michael it would seem like a doctor could spell it correctly... but NOO.. they had to spell is Micheal.. Asshats

My name is Sean and I'm an alcoholic...


Oh wait... nevermind.

Does everything have to have a point?

I've actually changed my middle name to just the initial just because I really don't like it. It doesn't flow with the rest of my name.

I'm Brian Poe. No relation to the author, but sometimes if I'm feeling a bit sneaky I'll tell people I am. ; )

i'm michale, but i prefer mike, unless the person saying it has an exotic accent, michael sounds stupid pronounced with a NZ accent

<------Larry------////

My real names Richard. But, I mostly get Richie or others like Richo, Ricardo, Rick, Dick, Dicky and Dicko. Yer...sometimes I don't know if they are talking to me!

My real name is Robert

but i go by Adam for short (middle name)

yeah... same here.. except I did that to the first name.... really. it's just R. Soon I'm going to change my legal name to that because of 9/11 I'm getting too much flak for it.

was weird in college because the professors would call me by the first name.. and I'd sit there...

then after rollcall I'd get dropped since there was a jillion people rushing the class.

AND the lady at the hall of records.. misspelled my name.. thank god because I'd hate to write Bryan all the time.. that drop down for the y is just a pain in the ass.

William Joseph Edelmayer

I go by "Bill."

My first name is that of my maternal grandfather, my middle name is that of my paternal grandfather, and my last name is that of my father.

I have some amazing male role models in my family. They all deserve my respect, as they have earned it long before I was born.

I proudly carry their names.

My name is in so many publicly available records, it would be delusional to think that posting it here could possibly make a difference.

My initials are djp ;)

I'm Kevin. Nice to sorta meet everyone here. I have a middle name that starts with W but I never tell anyone what it is 'cause I don't like it.

:)

My name is Patrick Joseph. My Irish Grandpa always called me paddy when I was young and I kinda liked it.

I have a rather unique name... Gunner.

Here's the story behind it:
My dad was watching Ricky Nelson's show on TV when he was a teenager. Ricky had a two year old son, named Gunnar. He brought him out on stage to show him off. My dad heard the name and he liked it. So, that's how I got the name. Fast forward about 20 years... Remember the twins with long blonde hair that were the band called Nelson? Yeah, that's who I am named after. Obviously, that was before they were famous, but people find that funny sometimes.

i'm not about giving out my real name, but i'll drop initials on yoru ass and make a lil explaination... i sign anything and evrything with an SCA - the first name is a very close friend of the family whom i've had the pleasure of meeting a few times. the second is my father's middle name and it's not really all that practical, so it dosen't get used unless i'm really in trouble. ;)

what... you thought my name was fred? :D

James, but I go by Jim. But I guess you figured that out.

<--------- Matt

I'm OK with my first name. Hate my middle name though.

Michelle.

is ok name, i guess...but i'm not overly fond of it.

and my last name..well lets just say, i don't like it much, is one of those hard-to-pronounce ones. just tired of it, really.
will be nice eventually when i get married, i'll def. change my last name to my bf's.

:)

Hello, my name is Adam. I never really liked it much when I was a kid, but now I really don't care. It's just a name.

Cynthia Leigh a/k/a Cyn, Cindy.

Story goes when choosing my name the final three were this one, Sheila and Rhonda. It's kinda strange to know what you could have been called. My grandmother called me Cyd- because she thought that I looked like Cyd Charrisse(sp) a well-known entertainer in her day. I kinda wish *Cyd* had stuck.

David :D

Omar :)

I like my name.....It's kinda old fashioned....I was named after my maternal grandmother....She past away when my mom was 6 years old....I'm not about giving away my real name....My first initial is B...

My friends call me Ann. . .it's short for something very unique. The only thing I don't like about the nickname is that it sounds the same as a basic part of speech, that annoys me a little.

My full name is:


Tiernan Murrough Patrick Deevy

Beat that!! :D

<---- Moshe.

or

<---- Mordechay

or

<---- Benjamin

but hardly anyone knows anything but the first one. (and even then many don't know how to pronounce it...)

...and I think I beat magpie. :)

Jason.

My initials are JAH while my brothers are JBH and Dad said if there was another boy, it woulda been JCH. He's very organized in.........well, everything, but it's cool.

first name is William, but I use my middle name-Robert. I go by Rob, Robbie, Bob, or Bobby, depends on who I'm talking to. It's great using my middle name, I always know when telemarketers are calling.

"My name is Raymond J. Johnson Junior. You can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay, or you can call me Ray-Jay, or you can call me Junie, or you can call me Johnny, but you doesn't has ta call me Johnson." Does anyone else remember this guy? He always cracked me up.

JNM
I'll give you the Jennifer :)
You can keep guessing on the last name though, I don't want to give away too much ;)

Timmy

hey, my hebrew name is moshe.

real name is mike. i was thinking of changing it to optimus prime, but someone beat me to it. maybe i could change it to he-man? or is that redundant?

My first name is William. My middle name is Dee. My father and aunt used to call me "Bliiy Dee". My brother calls me "Willie Dee". Anyone else calls me William.

Michael. You can call me Mike

Somenosuke - Whatever your happy with. I prefere N. but L. is very nice as well. Your choice and I wont argue with either.

Jadz' Gave nuttin' away then!

I am actually more proud of my middle name Wallace than any other part of my name.
Even though I just found out tonight that it references the male sexual organ.

My name is Anthony. But everybody calls me Tony

<-- Joe

Initially, I really didn't want to say much about who I am online, but at this point, you all already know way too damned much about me. ;) Hell, a few on here know more about me then some of the people I know in real life.

Eric Merker......I like my first name cause it's shorty and you can't add a "y" to it and my last name is nice cause people just call me merk.....:D

Paul, big surprise, hu??

My father called me William, and he was one of the only people I allowed the privilege. I figured it was okay since he gave me the name.

I prefer to be called Bill.

call me al.

My name is Inigo Montoya...

Bundy you can call me Sally. To the rest of the world I'm Tim (shocking, ain't it).

Shawn, the Irish Bastard. It suits me, and I like it. And people like me, I think.

yeah.. can't believe that he was able to get on with that schtick for so long...

My first name is Igor. It's Ukrainian, which is logical because I was born there.

Any idea if he's still around; I haven't seen him since the '70's. He was funny because that's the way that guys who had a real high opinion of themselves used to talk; they generally turned out to be either a jerk or a fool (or both!) OOOOHHHHH; You doesn't has ta call me Johnson!!

My name is Michael too; I don't like or use Michael- I only answer to Mike; call me "Mikie" and I'll answer, but nobody likes the answer I give to that name!!

My name is penis slang.

Royal...my mother calls me Roy, all the ladies call me Al.....I wish that was my name, so I could use that fancy line...It was however my grandfathers name. Mines Matt..call me Matthew and I'll cut ya!

Joseph John Paul Cadwell

Two middle names... All three are names of Grandpa's.. Joseph is my great grandpa on my mom's side, John is my great grandpa on my dad's side, Paul is my grandpa (my mom's dad). Why show the full Name? Well, You can just as easily go over to Purge and DL the demo and check the credits.. as it reads
Joseph "GakFace" Cadwell.... ;)

First name is Lindsay. I'd give my whole name but it wouldn't be very helpful anyways because I have several evil twins, helpful, of course, assuming you'd want to stalk me ;)

<- David.

I, like a few of you, have a unique middle name. Growing up I received my fair share of ribbing because of it but have learned to appreciate it. It is who I am and there is no reason to feel ashamed....

First Name - Joseph (prefer Joe)
Middle Name - Starry

Initials - JSB

<--------- Aaron :)

Halx would like my middle name.

Works for me too!

steve.... spelled stephen but people usually think its spelled steven. i get all the usuals - steve, stevo, stevie, hey you fat bastard, one of our vps calls me stevie wonder, whatever works

My real name is Dylan Jarryd Friedman.

my name is DoomzDayz. It is my real online identity :rolleyes:

Ben

My name is Tim

But I don't like the way Tim looks on paper or screen so I always put down Timothy and the instantly tell people not to call me that... TIm is just fine.

And thanks to South Park I have been called TIMMAY so much that it has stuck.. being 32 and refered to as Timmay has it's downside..... but who's counting.

Shane

I don't expect you all to remember it because I probably won't remember yours.

My name is Christopher....Friends and such call me Chris.I like my name.Christopher to this day reminds me of when I was a child and in trouble...My mother screaming my full name out....."chills"......Fun memories...lol.....You can all call me Chris if you please.

My first name is Judith. Simple, right? WRONG!! You wouldn't believe how many people can't say it, all the time I hear Juduff. To make things worse, Judy is a short form of Judith. . everyone automatically assumes I go by Judy. . I hate that name. Its an old woman's name. Maybe I'll use it when I'm older, but for now, my name is Judith. . . if you can't say it or refuse to say it, then don't bother talking to me because I won't answer.

I'm Jane in real life. Jane A. in fact. I hate my last name. It's long and ugly and unwieldy and hard to pronounce apparently (I don't think so). I have hundreds of nicknames, and I answer to almost anything starting with a J.

<-----Will

I like it :)

Hmmm, Id like to say it but I know at least one person here goes to my University and since I'm the only one here with my first name he'd easily find me in the directory and I don't know if I'm ready to spread the TFP out into my other life. Initial is R :)

Born James Herbert, middle name after my father.--
everyone calls me Jim (except in Mexico where it
comes out as "Hi-Mee"......the last name is a long
german name that Hispanics can not pronounce....

<---------Evan (go figure!)---------<<<

Thats why im kinda glad that we had to re register for TFP so I could actually get my name as my username, otherwise id forget my username... :D

John Paul Manuel Velasquez. Not really scared about stalkers or anything. It is a very interesting name actually, being that the first two names are very biblical and the last two very mexican. It actually reflects very accurately with my parents, being my father is mexican, and my mother is european. John Paul comes from two friends of my mother who died shortly before I was born. They both died of a type of cancer that escapes me at the moment. She is also uber-christian... :D ...

My name's Ben, it says so on my birth certificate. I love being able to shoot down people who tries to call me "Benjamin", especially when they're trying to make it sound insulting.
Short names are the best :D

Omg, MrFlux, I so agree, I hate it when people try to call me Jonathan.. *takes deep breath* god I hate that....

Just thinking about it gets me :mad:.

<-----Tom, to everyone, but only one person on this earth has been afforded the privilege and honor of calling me SIR. Galaxygirl.

Rob


plain and simple :)

my first names Sarah but my last name is where a druid ruin resides upon. you figure that out its easy.

Atropos I have a funny feeling we have the same first name as mine starts with a B as well and I have always thought it old fashioned!

My first name is Peter, the last is something you find a lot of in Alaska.

Jessica here and I've never had a problem with it.

the name my parents shoved at me is an unwieldy Italian name that I can not stand to hear or see.

It is not in use.

what the hell... i'm Lynn Matheny. no reason to hide my name. my blades are bear.

(and before you ask, YES I AM A DUDE)

I go by Jason but thats not my real name.....

<-- Matthew, but call me Matt.

christopher, but I stick to chris, my name is too long otherwise.

My real first name is Sheila and I have never liked it, Ever!

But I am going to live with it because for some reason or another, My Mother loved the name and wanted me to have it.
