Imagine if you were given a name like...

[kingofwolves]

I'm another James, but I like it cause I'm named after James Bond, and it shows. If I had to, I'd change my last name (Stretch, which is kinda retarded considering I'm gonna be in grade 9 after summer break yet I'm still shorter than most of the grade 7's. Oh well, my cousins last name is Short) to Bond (self-explanatory)

My dad almost called my sister Indiana, there's something wrong with him

 

[John Galt]

I actually like my name. Gavin's pretty uncommon in the US and isn't too terribly bland. It sort of reminds me of Gawain from Arthurian legend. If I did have to change it, it'd definitely be some bizarre name from a Frank Herbert book, like Jesus Lewis or Iz Bushka. Something exotic like that, something that contrasts to my "whiter-than-Wonderbread" genealogy.

I don't know; there's something sexy about girls named after US states. Only SOME states, though. There's nothing sexy in Mississippi or Massachusetts- mind you, I'd laugh myself to death if those girls had lisps.

ROFL No joke I really went to high School with a James Bond and a Ben Dover. Some parents can be cruel... seriously even mine, my brothers name is James Brown... they claimed theyd never heard of him

 

[cleverlymadeup]

there used to be a guy in our phone book called Elmer Fudd

my friend's dad knew a Richard Head

 

[Erana]

I have a really smexy name, though I shall refrain from saying it for the sake of safety.

I mean, seriously. Who'd want yall to know their name?

 

[SomeBritishDude]

I wonder what life would be like if I was called Gordon Gobblecock...

 

[Unholykrumpet]

I absolutely hate the name Brian, doesn't go with my personality type at ALL. I dislike it so much that I go by K-pet, short for Krumpet (yes I know it's spelled Crumpet...long story). I have an awesome last name though, and I want to name my daughter (if I decide to have kids) Ember or Michael. I like the name Michael as a girls name...though it could be because my best friend's name is Jordan and she's a girl.
Edit: I also find it funny to no end that no one will say THEIR own name, but are more than happy to say the names of friends, friends of friends, random people at school, etc.

 

[the protaginist]

i can't decide what name is worse. seth(my real name) or blake(what my mother wanted to call me)sad thing is,i wasn't even named BY my parents. my great aunt named me.


i've always wondered what it be like to named humpty dumpty.

 

[Frosk]

I was supposed to be named Luke, but I was born in 82 right after the original Star Wars trilogy was released. So my parents went with Mark.

I have an aunt named Michaele (can be pronounced michael or mi-kay-la). Nothing wrong with using that for a girl's name at all.

 

[smuttbullen]

I knew a girl named "Frisk-bånge" in ¨lastname, which translates to "healthy boner."

 

[Lvl 64 Klutz]

I was wondering, would your life be different if you had a different name. And if so, what would your name and personality be?

John Jacob Jinglehiemer Schmidt. Whenever I went out, some people would apparently randomly shout my name.

 

[Evilbunny]

My friends name is Mike Hunt (say it out loud)

its the worst possible name ever!!.

Almost as bad as Mike Hawk.

Seriously, if you have a name like that you'd better develop one hell of a sense of humor. Just like my 10th grade English teacher, Ms. Dootie (yes, it's pronounced like the word duty, and she never pretended otherwise).

 

[kelnadine]

There were two kids in my school with names that just seem cruel of their parents. Daniel Daniels, and Andrew Andrews. I mean, what's with that?
Worse, though, was this one guy my dad knew. His name was Harry Crack.

 

[emge]

Thers a norwegian politician called Steinar Lem, withc translates into rockhard limb. Lem or Limb beeing a common word used for dick. Thats a name i wouldn't want.
So to stay on topic i'd like to be called Mike. Because then people would be able to pronounce my name nomather what language the spoke. Hate it on ventrillo when guildmates from several years back talk and call eachother by first RL name and call me "Dirty" as it's my chars name.

 

[jim_doki]

I hate the name Charlize. I think its a horrible thing to do to a child. unfortunately i mentioned this out loud once to someone who's daughter, a two year old kid, was named Charlize.

[werepossum]

There's a lady in Chattanooga named Shithead - pronounced Shuh-theed. (I don't know if someone played a horrible joke on her mother, or if it was just a really difficult delivery.) There are also two brothers named Oranjello and Lemonjello. People will say these are urban legends, but they're actually not that rare anymore.

I also worked with a guy named Richard Head, went by Ricky. Real nice guy so no one called him Dick Head, but it's still a big risk to name your kid that. He was a junior, too, so evidently his father was home-schooled or had VERY kind playmates.

My own name is Michael David. The year I was born (1960) 'Michael' was the #1 boy's name - and 'David' was #2. I like them fine, even if they are a bit boring.

EDIT: Forgot to add, but there's an American NASCAR driver named Dick Trickle. That always makes me laugh a bit. Announcer: Uncer's in the lead, but Dick Trickle is coming on strong!

 

[Mnemophage]

I have an acquaintance named Fritz Fishburger. He's a pretty nice guy, but yeah, there is absolutely no excuse for that. Names like that turn people into serial killers.

 

[Programmed_For_Damage]

My friends name is Mike Hunt (say it out loud)

its the worst possible name ever!!.

Surely you are joking!

My friend works with an Indian guy called Manmeet.

Also my mum's best friend has the surname 'Lovelock'. Apparently her daughter was at an exam and the teacher mispronounced her name as 'Beth Lovecock'. She would have had a newfound popularity with the guys in the exam hall upon hearing that I bet.

 

[stompy]

My friend works with an Indian guy called Manmeet.

You might mean Manveet, a Punjabi name.

As for my name, I'm cool with it. I know a few others with the same name, but no one I meet on a regular basis.
