Poll: People on the escapist with the same first name as you.

[Vornek]

Bjørn....
It's like Bear in Norwegian....

Well whaddya know? Another person with my name. And this is the first on that's on the internet *gasps*

I honestly thought that I'd be the only one (at the very least here) but hey, surprises are everywhere.

Now, a question for you:
How do you explain an American how to say our name?

[Kyoufuu]

I'm Adrian. I somehow knew that Yahtzee, in his Braid review, was going to say my name the moment before he did. Even though I'm probably the one person on the entire Escapist to whom it does not apply at all.

 

[Electrogecko]

Kevin

 

[Maverick Dorotheo]

Maverick. None so far.

 

[Iznat]

None :3
It's Tanzi.

 

[WhiteShadow2401]

Let's see... any other Martin in here? Anyone? No?... Okey then =(...

There's one now

CTRL+F ftw.

Awesome!! I have never met another Martin in my life (Seriously, it is not a very uncommon name where I live, yet I don't know anybody named Martin)

I will befriend you just for that... =D

Buh-yorn, with the 'uh' in 'buh' being the same sound pronounced between the 2nd t and l in little.

 

[farq1414]

mines Callum and i have come by a few callums in my life

 

[Sumtaedium]

Daniel

So far, I'm the only one on the Escapist (to my knowledge based on never encountering the name before or after checking this forum).

Mines Daniel, and i love your profile picture BTW.

Another Daniel here.

Daniel #4, right here!

...Wow, the only thing i could come up with was Bj-eeh-rn.

Hm, perhaps I can finally make my american relatives pronounce my name right.
But it's so funny to pick on them for it, so I dunno.

If I had a cookie right now, you'd get it.

[AndyRock]

Is anyone else an Andrew here?

Hello friend another Andrew here.

And another over here

Well, I have no idea xD
I've never tried doing it....
Maybe go for the Bjorn version...
Can't remember what equals the Ø sound in the english language

Buh-yorn, with the 'uh' in 'buh' being the same sound pronounced between the 2nd t and l in little.

Yeah, that sounds correct.
I remember my American relatives always turned frustrated as they couldn't pronounce it.

 

[Dr.Susse]

Jacob.

I had the name before werewolves made it cool.

 

[DragonsAteMyMarbles]

Mike. I probably guessed a little low. I know a ton of people in high school who have the same name and it's a pain doing role calle when a bunch of people have my name.

I've personally met 3 Escapists called Mike. There's also me, and two others I spotted on this thread, though I may have missed one or two.
So... seven thus far?

 

[OverweightWhale]

I don't think anyone has mine. My full first name is actually Michelangelo. Like the Ninja Turtle or Artist, whichever you think of. Also I'm not even Italian. My parents still haven't told me why they chose my name.

 

[ArcticSquirrel]

The name is Garrett

It must be an uncommon name seeing as so many people spell it wrong... They spell it Garret or Garett, and sometimes Garet. But usually, nobody can spell Garrett.

Well, that's one good thing about Dragon Age 2, then. A lot more people will be able to spell your name correctly, now. xD

I was on the verge of buying Dragon Age 2 when I was playing the demo, and at the end I realized that the main characters first name was Garrett.

I now own the game and I am glad I bought it.

 

[Hristo Tzonkov]

Well my name as you can see is Hristo.Apparently it's related to Christ but people tell me it's not the Bulgarian version of Chris.So I doubt anyone has my name.

 

[GreenSage]

Six pages and still no Nathan's guess its not as common as i thought.

 

[Taynas]

My name is Kiersen and I have never met another in my life so if one is found on here I'll be excited. *fingers crossed*

 

[Broady Brio]

George is a pretty common name.
I wouldn't be suprised to see many with the same name as me.

Curses... So there is another George out there.

Despite these OTHER Georges too.
